We are paying for poor network services either way. We must embrace for even poorer. They must reduce.

This is the 4IR. Watch Out

Next is DStv and its monopoly on Sports and entertainment.

South African own Vodacom & MTN operates in other African countries & charge them next to nothing to the high prices we have to pay as South Africans. This had to be dealt with years ago

Was the minister crying why her eyes swollen?

She got a smile

Das so gud data mst fall

Long overdue

She is actual crying because they will loosing billions in tax revenue that they have been stealing all these years.

Why is she wearing sunglasses indoors.....wtf

The reason why data has been so expensive is because some government officials have been benefiting from the delays of data price cuts and low spectrum allocation. It is not like the government was not aware that data was expensive they were beneficiaries

This is not victory but a scam, it’s been long overdue mxm Stellarated
