Free Wi-Fi: what's the catch?
The Citizen
|December 15, 2025
Let's start with busting a serious myth.
STIs cannot be transferred by unprotected WiFi. Giving people free internet always seems like a great idea.Religious taxi owners may even get away “with adding your data” under their existing Jesus saves rear window sticker.
It seems as good a terms-and-conditions disclaimer, as any.
But the internet is only as good as what you're using it for.
Far be it for me to dictate how people use the internet, but I must roll my eyes at anybody who raves about free internet and proceeds to use it to watch grannies test-driving penny-farthing bicycles on uMhlanga's boardwalk.
Sebenza is doing a great job rolling out free internet and Santaco has about 90% of the local taxi industry under its membership umbrella. It makes sense that they get together to roll this plan out together.
It’s even more inspiring that they did it out of the inspiration of the G20’s emphasised themes.
