Molatlhegi Kgauwe, acting MD of SITA, says through innovation and SMME development, digital technologies open up new avenues for economic prosperity, innovation, job creation, and service access and the more SMMEs are exposed to these infrastructures, the wider the net of opportunities is cast.“Besides people, infrastructure is the bedrock and the backbone of a country.
