Internet Service Provider Webafrica has announced that it will close its physical offices and go fully remote.

The decision comes after the Covid-19 pandemic forced the group to quickly introduce a work-from-home model in a matter of days, it said. The Webafrica Cape Town office will officially close on 30 April 2022, followed by the Johannesburg office on February 2023.

Webafrica’s offices have been open to staff to use during the lockdown period, however, the company found that very few staff members would choose to come in, leaving the building eerily quiet. Rather than force staff to return to the office, their wellbeing and input were taken into account over the two years, the group said.

Employees are provided with all equipment they should need to optimally perform their jobs and can do so in the comfort of their own homes.
