The revamped SA Connect model aims to reach 80% connectivity in South Africa in 2024.
South Africa’s Department of Communications and Digital Technologies set aside R1.6 billion of its budget for the year to spend on phase two of the SA Connect initiative.
“It also galvanises the capability, resources, and energy of public and private sectors towards realising a bold vision to reach 80% connectivity by 2024,” the DCDT said. This follows the deadline for switching off all TV services broadcasting on frequencies above 694MHz by 31 July 2024. In June 2023, communications minister Mondli Gungubele announced that South Africa would finally switch off analogue TV broadcasts on 31 December 2024 — 13 years after the initial deadline.
