Samuel Carvalho, Angola Cables' chief marketing officer, said in an interview on Thursday that South Africa was becoming a major interconnection hub for global connectivity.

Angola Cables specializes in digital and connectivity services such as wholesale interconnectivity and cloud computing among other enterprise IT solutions. Its South African unit, TelCables interconnects South Africa and metropolitans such as Johannesburg and Cape Town.

TelCables is now pursuing agreements to expand its interconnectivity solutions into neighboring southern African countries after expanding to East Africa last year.

"We now interconnect Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. From Teraco Cape Town to Teraco Durban and Johannesburg, and we are deploying major agreements with partners to have more networks and even to interconnect the neighboring countries of South Africa," said Carvalho.

The digital and connectivity infrastructure that TelCables South Africa has invested into has also helped the company boost its expansion into East Africa.
