FROM THE DESK OF THE PRESIDENT
South Africa takes a massive digital leap forward
22 March 2022
Dear Fellow South African,
Last week, government concluded the auction of high demand spectrum for mobile telecommunications. This is a significant milestone in our reform agenda, which will, as we have said before, drive growth and transformation in our economy.
The licensing of spectrum is one of the major reforms that we are implementing to modernise and transform key network industries such as energy, telecommunications, transport and water provision. Already much progress has been made in creating new opportunities for investment in electricity generation, freight rail and ports, and in improving the management and quality of the country’s water resources.
