Vision
To become Africa’s leading open-access digital infrastructure
platform.
Mission
To accelerate affordable broadband access and digital inclusion
through scalable, carrier-neutral fibre infrastructure deployment —
building the physical foundation on which a competitive market of
internet service providers can deliver better speeds and prices to every
South African community.
Strategic objectives, FY2027–FY2031
- Pass 2.8 million homes and connect 1.45 million subscribers
across a carrier-neutral open-access network by FY2031. - Onboard 75+ ISP partners, replicating the multi-ISP competitive
dynamic that defines the open-access category. - Reach EBITDA-positive run-rate by FY2028 and 42%+ EBITDA margin
by FY2031 through penetration-led operating leverage. - Deploy at least 40% of the network into traditionally
under-served township and Reach areas, anchoring the digital-inclusion
and DFI thesis. - Drive capex-per-home-passed down from ~R13,750 to ~R6,200 through
route density, aerial deployment and construction learning-curve
effects. - Establish a second-round infrastructure debt programme by month
26 to fund the build beyond the initial R11.5 billion raise.
