Broadband challenge in South Africa

• While ICT is seen as a powerful tool to economic development and to an effective
and efficient service delivery by government, SA is still challenged with issues of
accessibility, usability and affordability.
• Broadband take up since its introduction in 2003 has been predominantly
wireless/mobile and access to internet and broadband services is not uniform
across SA.
• The Statistics SA, General Household Survey (GHS) 2015 re-affirms the existence
of a digital divide between provinces, districts and municipalities.
• Inability to access ICT is closely associated with poverty which is most prevalent in
predominantly rural or poor areas. Demand side considerations
Affordability of services and
devices
Availability of local content
E-literacy and massification of e-skills
Availability of electricity
Supply side considerations
Broadband roll-out is very capital intensive and
requires billions of Rands
Recovery of investments must be secured – long
payback period
SA Geography challenges - population is
dispersed
Uneconomical to roll-out in certain areas and
requires cross-subsidisation,

• The WEF Global Competitive Index (GCI) 2016 report indicates that SA has seen an overall
improvement raking from 56 to 49 out of 140 countries.
• There is also a significant improvement on the Network Readiness Index (NRI) from 75 to 65.
• The climb in the rank is mainly due to the increased uptake of ICT especially higher internet
bandwidth and improvements in innovation which establish the SA economy as the region’s
most innovative.
• However the country needs to make significant improvements on Government usage and
social impact sub- indexes.

SA Connect - Meeting the
Broadband Challenge in SA
SA Connect provides a framework in which to realise South Africa’s vision that
by 2030 a widespread broadband communication system will underpin a
dynamic and connected vibrant information society and a knowledge economy
that is more inclusive, equitable and prosperous.
Broadband as an ecosystem of digital networks, services, applications,
content and devices, will be firmly integrated into the economic and social
fabric of the country.
A key objective of SA Connect is that broadband must reach a critical mass of
South Africans
SA Connect comprises 4 distinct but inter-related pillars that describe the roll-
out of broadband in South Africa

Fiber to the Home (FTTH)
•According to BMI-T (2015) FTTH could reach more than 360,000 active subscriptions in South
Africa by 2019, with the majority of the growth coming from subscribers in residential suburbs, where
much of the recent action has been focused.
•FTTH deployment has shifted from gated estates to suburbs.
•BMI-T analysed the plans and implementation status of all the key players in
• 448 areas across South Africa = 368 suburbs and 80 gated estates.
• These areas contain more than 500,000 houses, with the number of ‘houses passed’
increasing with deployment over the forecast period.
Mobile Broadband
•Percentage of population with access to 3G coverage 2016 – 98%
•Percentage of population with access to LTE coverage 2016 – 53%

Government led broadband initiatives
SA Connect Broadband Phase 1 and
Phase 2 To facilitate and stimulate the expansion of broadband infrastructure, the
Department has developed business cases that will aggregate
government’s demand for broadband.
The implementation will be achieved through a two phased approach
implementation. The strategy includes cconnecting schools, clinics, post
offices, police stations and other government facilities
Phase 1: 6135 facilities (8 District Municipalities) and
Phase 2: 35211 facilities, (44 District Municipalities)

SA Connect Implementation Status and
Challenges
Progress Status:
SITA issued a Tender to procure broadband services to connect Government
facilities in the Phase 1 District Municipalities.
The tender closed on 8 August 2016 subsequent to the request for extension by the
potential bidders, evaluation is underway and is planned for completion by October 2016
Phase 2 business case was developed and submitted to National Treasury for
funding.
Challenges:
The Department worked with National Treasury to explore different options to
facilitate the appointment of the service provider in accordance with the PFMA. The
process took longer than planned and resulted in delays in the appointment of the
service provider for Phase 1 of the broadband connectivity.
Limited funding to procure broadband connectivity (Phase 1) in line with the South
Africa Connect targets and no funding allocation for Phase 2.
The Department is working with the Treasury to unblock the funding issue, taking into
consideration the lessons learned and to be learned from Phase 1 project.

USO Monitoring and Evaluation
18
Provincial steering committees are setup with monthly meetings for feedback on
progress and to solve problems experienced; role players in these steering
committees are provincial officials, DBE, DTPS, Licensees, service providers and
ICASA only when need arises.
DBE has developed a monitoring tool to monitor both online and offline data usage;
Currently piloting in Eastern Cape and KZN before national rollout
DTPS audited few schools connected through the USO programme. The identified
issues were raised and resolved with operators through engagements in the
monthly steering committees

Making South Africa a Global Leader in Harnessing ICTs for Socio-economic DevelopmentMaking South Africa a Global Leader in Harnessing ICTs for Socio-economic Development
Aim is to stimulate the uptake and usage of ICTs to build an inclusive
information society because without access and participation in all
aspects of society to economic growth through educational and health
improvements, participatory democracy will be compromised.
Given that the Digital Opportunity should be linked to the other SA Connect
strategies, key principles in the implementing the opportunities occuring
from the Broadband are:
A focused approach aligned with the Digital Development strategy
A bottom-up approach to be adopted in consultation with
communities
Sustained stakeholder engagements process
A phased approached with costed estimates

The DTPS has identified the e-Government and skills development as the areas
that requires urgent attention
These two areas are aligned with the development of a National e-Strategy
process to be completed this year
The e-Government strategy is included in the APP 2016/17 which will result in
the development of a three (3) year e-Service Programme for the whole country
There is a need to build institutional mechanism to align the institutions’
budgets to this programme
There is a need for buy-in from the relevant stakeholders on this
programme to ensure a universal understanding that this intervention will
strengthen their capacity to deliver services efficiently and speedier.

Engagement with Provincial Broadband
Steering Committees
24
The Department is continuously engaging with the PBSCs in planning the
implementation of SA Connect within the 8 identified District Municipalities. Some of
the acitivities being undertaken by the PBSCs
Site Auditing and Verification
Technical review and support on the Provincial broadband initiatives
Coordination of work streams dealing with Local SMME Development, ICT Skills and
training, Research and development, Content, application and service development and the
review of Provincial broadband Funding options/models
At the SIP 15 Inter-Governmental Framework meeting convened in March 2016, the
following issues were discussed:
The quality and bandwidth of connectivity provided to schools under the various
programmes – it takes too long to repair when broken, and the services do not adhere to the
SA Connect Policy
Sustainability of the connectivity- who takes over after an initial period of sponsored
connectivity?
Theft and vandalism – equipment get stolen from schools, copper lines get stolen.

Bandwidth pricing too high (Linear pricing model)
Upgrades take too long (Wayleaves delays)
Implications:

Awareness campaigns and advocacy were conducted during 2016/17. A total of 26 campaign
were conducted.
8 events were conducted to emphasise the importance of e-Skills i.e. the Ekurhuleni Career
Expo and Job Summit which was attended by 2 000 students.
Six new partnerships were entered into (SABC, Gender Commission, IPad 4U, Eastern Cape
Information Technology Initiative (ECITI), Tswane University of Technology (TUT) - the new
Mpumalanga CoLab and Central University College in the Free State (CUC).
Benefits on these partnerships include that the reach of these entities will extend the reach for
e-Skills development and greater expansion to rural and peri-urban communities which will
increase the roll out and uptake of e-skills.
The University of Limpopo CoLab partnered with Microsoft and an agreement was reached that
up to 20 schools and clinics around the University of Limpopo will be offered a licence
agreement with Microsoft.
The server that handles the student’s account will be maintained and hosted by Microsoft for
