November 26, 2025

VODACOM KwaZulu-Natal has announced a major investment of more than R1.1 billion in network infrastructure for the current financial year (FY2026), reinforcing its commitment to expanding connectivity and accelerating digital inclusion across South Africa's most populous province.

- YOGASHEN PILLAY

The announcement was made during a media roundtable on Tuesday, led by Imran Khan, managing executive for Vodacom KwaZulu-Natal, alongside the company's provincial leadership team.

Khan said the investment reflects Vodacom's long-term vision of building a digitally inclusive KwaZulu-Natal where all communities-urban and rural-have access to the opportunities offered by the digital economy.

"Vodacom's R1.142bn investment in KZN's network infrastructure during the financial year demonstrates the company's commitment to ubiquitous connectivity across the province," Khan said.

"The investment breakdown includes R796 million for radio projects, R289m goes to transmission, R36 million towards energy, and R20m for core data networks."
