"Isizwe — the company behind the Kayamandi Fibre Project — has released the latest results of its initial proof of concept fibre-to-the-shack project and highlighted several challenges it had to address to be successful."
"Our goal is to prove that pay-as-you-go fiber presents a profitable business case for fiber in townships and can spur the next wave of value creation for the fiber industry."
"South Africa must be a more technologically driven country," said President Cyril Ramaphosa upon receiving a report about the country's readiness for the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) in 2020. This drive relies on forward-thinking education, connectivity, and access to information."
"What Isizwe, the company involved, has done is launch an uncapped fibre-to-home project in the Kayamandi township outside Stellenbosch, which will cost residents R5 per day and runs at 100Mbps. That sounds nuts. But, you know, wonderfully nuts."
"Access to data has always been struggle for the underprivileged. Former iBurst and Mxit CEO Alan Knott-Craig Jnr joins John to explain a project that intends to bring cheap and uncapped fibre to SA townships."
"Nokia today announced its partner Liquid Intelligent Technologies will provide innovative Nokia fiber technologies to PayGoZo for offering economical, uncapped and ultra-fast internet as part of The Kayamandi Township Fiber Project. "
"The company aims to connect 180 million homes and serve one billion customers with uncapped pay-as-you-go fiber-to-the-home Internet in the coming years, starting with a minimum of 10Mbps speeds."
"A prepaid and low-cost fiber project went live in South African township Kayamandi in Stellenbosch in the Western Cape on Monday, with ambitions to roll out connectivity to tens of thousands of previously unconnected residents and spread similar projects across Africa."
