The digital divide is a significant challenge in South Africa, with many citizens lacking access to essential services such as education and healthcare due to limited internet connectivity. To address this issue, the government has launched the SA Connect program, which aims to provide highspeed internet connectivity to all citizens, regardless of their location or economic status.
Deputy Ministers David Mahlobo and Judith Tshabalala recently reaffirmed the South African government’s commitment to ensuring equitable water supply and dignified sanitation for all citizens. Their statements align with the country’s constitution and Minister Senzo Mchunu’s proposed budget for the 2023/2024 fiscal year.
