South Africa Connect

All input from the March 24th South African National Broadband Forum has been received and compiled into a single document which can be accessed here.

The South African National Broadband Forum invites everyone who believes that affordable broadband access is a national priority to express their support for the development and implementation of a comprehensive National Broadband Strategy for South Africa.

A draft framework has been developed with input from multiple stakeholders at a workshop held on March 24 in Johannesburg. We believe that this framework can serve as a basis for building consensus on a
comprehensive national broadband strategy.

Please participate in the public call for expressions of support for a Comprehensive Broadband Strategy. Visit www.broadband4africa.org.za to to read and endorse the full framework which will be presented the to the new government elected on 22 April 2009 and propose that it be used as a basis for building consensus between all stakeholders on a comprehensive national broadband strategy for South Africa.
