South Africa held its first democratic elections in 1994 and has subsequently returned Telkom; to the international arena. Its citizens should rightly expect to be able to participate in all that Social justice this return offers, not only politically, but also economically and socially. Telecommunications are vital to making such participation possible. In recognition of this fact, the newly elected government developed policies and enacted legislation to ensure that the telecommunications sector, and specifically the sole fixed line service provider Telkom, provides South African citi- zens affordable access to the telecommunications infrastructure whilst providing acceptable levels of service. However, rather than meeting its obligation to the government and the people of South Africa, Telkom has misused its monopoly. The social injustice that this situa- tion creates is critically examined against the background of the right to communicate based on Rawls’ principles of social justice and Sen’s capability approach.

Political content is not censored, and bloggers and online content creators are not prosecuted for online activities. Nevertheless, the status of South Africa’s internet freedom was threatened by two pieces of proposed legislation in 2011—the General Intelligence Laws Amendment Bill, which could potentially legalize the bulk monitoring of internet communications, and the Protection of State Information Bill, which would make it illegal to publish and access certain state information, affecting the traditional and digital media, bloggers, and internet users. Access to the internet has improved, and more people have the option to access the internet from their mobile phones than from computers. Nevertheless, the majority of South Africans are unable to benefit from internet access due to high costs and the fact that most content is in English—an obstacle for those who speak one of the ten other official languages—although there is now content in some local languages, especially on social- networking platforms. The first internet connection in South Africa was established in 1988, and the internet was commercialized in 1993.

  • State of Mobile Networks: South Africa (August 2017)
    State of Mobile Networks: South Africa (August 2017) The mobile broadband market in South Africa is still evolving, but according to OpenSignal's latest round of tests, half of the country's operators are already providing good accessibility to LTE services as well as decent speeds. Our first report on South Africa analyzes more than 289 million datapoints from 20,422 devices to examine the 3G and 4G consumer experience provided by four operators: Cell C, MTN, Telkom and Vodacom. What we found was a clear divide in our metrics between the two market leaders Vodacom and MTN and their two smaller rivals.

Community Services began under a 1994 government mandate to provide telecommunications services in under-serviced, disadvantaged communities. Vodacom’s development of an innovative way to meet this mandate, via entrepreneur-owned and operated phone shops, has both provided affordable communication services to millions of South Africans and empowered thousands of previously disadvantaged individuals with income-generating opportunities and lasting business skills. The Community Services program now provides over 23,000 cellular lines at over 4,400 locations throughout South Africa. BUSINESS MODEL Vodacom Community Services provides telecommunications services in townships and other disadvantaged communities at government-mandated prices that are well below commercial rates. The program, although initially subsidized by Vodacom, now covers its costs with revenue from sales. The Community Services model emphasizes the establishment of phone shop franchises, owned and operated by local entrepreneurs from within disadvantaged communities.

  • Public-Private Partnership Stories Kenya: Telkom Kenya
    Public-Private Partnership Stories Kenya: Telkom Kenya Photo © Javier Calvo/IFC In December 2007, IFC closed its advisory mandate to the government of Kenya on the privatization of Telkom Kenya Limited (TKL). IFC was able to assist the Kenyan government with a restructuring package that demanded transparency and a need to balance the interests of several players, both public and private. A consortium led France Telecom won the bid, paying $390 million for 51 percent of TKL. IFC also helped to unbundle TKL’s 60 percent stake in Safaricom and vest it back to the government. The unbundling of this stake led to the flotation of 25 percent of Safaricom in June 2008. The initial public offering was the largest ever in East Africa and raised over KSh 50 billion (about $800 million) for the government.
