Vodacom plans to spend more than R435 million on network improvements across the Northern Gauteng Area during the next financial year. The telecommunications company will focus its efforts on both North-West province and the Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality. Workers will build over 190 new 5G towers and upgrade existing 4G infrastructure with 700MHz radio technology. The project aims to bring faster internet speeds to areas that previously lacked reliable connections.
Communities like Ikagaleng township near Zeerust will receive broadband access for the first time. Residents in these areas can expect internet speeds reaching 350Mbps once construction is completed. Christo De Wet leads Vodacom operations in the Northern Gauteng region and emphasizes the company's focus on community empowerment through better connectivity. The investment supports digital access to education, healthcare, and business opportunities for South African citizens. This expansion helps reduce the technology gap between urban and rural populations.
