Western Cape Premier Helen Zille today launched the free wireless internet in Atlantis.
The initiative is a pilot
project which forms part of the provincial government’s R1.3 billion broadband
plan to connect the province’s residents to affordable internet.
Premier Zille has called on
residents to take advantages of this new facility and the range of economic
opportunities it will provide access to.
Premier Zille’s Spokesperson
Michael Mpofu said a 5GB bundle on a
mobile device typically costs R362. Through this initiative, residents of
Atlantis will be able to access that same amount of data for free over a
month’s period. It’s been proven that internet access is a major catalyst for
job creation.
“The free WiFi would improve education and “enable teachers to access this
material in order to assist them with teaching techniques as well as accessing
additional material to make their lessons more interesting Mpofu added.
