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.

    FREEDOM HOUSE Freedom on the Net 2012 1 SOUTH AFRICA 2011 2012 POPULATION: 51 million INTERNET FREEDOM STATUS Free Free INTERNET PENETRATION 2011: 21 percent Obstacles to Access (0-25) 7 8 WEB 2.0 APPLICATIONS BLOCKED: No Limits on Content (0-35) 9 8 NOTABLE POLITICAL CENSORSHIP: No BLOGGERS/ICT USERS ARRESTED: No Violations of User Rights (0-40) 10 10 PRESS FREEDOM STATUS: Partly Free Total (0-100) 26 26 * 0=most free, 100=least free INTRODUCTION Digital media freedom is generally respected in South Africa. 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.
