Overview


Broadband challenge in South Africa

3

• While ICT is seen as a powerful tool to economic development and to an effective

and efficient service delivery by government, SA is still challenged with issues of

accessibility, usability and affordability.

• Broadband take up since its introduction in 2003 has been predominantly

wireless/mobile and access to internet and broadband services is not uniform

across SA.

• The Statistics SA, General Household Survey (GHS) 2015 re-affirms the existence

of a digital divide between provinces, districts and municipalities.

• Inability to access ICT is closely associated with poverty which is most prevalent in

predominantly rural or poor areas. Demand side considerations

Affordability of services and

devices

Availability of local content

E-literacy and massification of e-skills

Availability of electricity

Supply side considerations

Broadband roll-out is very capital intensive and

requires billions of Rands

Recovery of investments must be secured – long

payback period

SA Geography challenges - population is

dispersed

Uneconomical to roll-out in certain areas and

requires cross-subsidisation,

Global Information Technology Report

2016

• The WEF Global Competitive Index (GCI) 2016 report indicates that SA has seen an overall

improvement raking from 56 to 49 out of 140 countries.

• There is also a significant improvement on the Network Readiness Index (NRI) from 75 to 65.

• The climb in the rank is mainly due to the increased uptake of ICT especially higher internet

bandwidth and improvements in innovation which establish the SA economy as the region’s

most innovative.

• However the country needs to make significant improvements on Government usage and

social impact sub- indexes.

SA Connect - Meeting the

Broadband Challenge in SA

SA Connect provides a framework in which to realise South Africa’s vision that

by 2030 a widespread broadband communication system will underpin a

dynamic and connected vibrant information society and a knowledge economy

that is more inclusive, equitable and prosperous.

Broadband as an ecosystem of digital networks, services, applications,

content and devices, will be firmly integrated into the economic and social

fabric of the country.

A key objective of SA Connect is that broadband must reach a critical mass of

South Africans

SA Connect comprises 4 distinct but inter-related pillars that describe the roll-

out of broadband in South Africa

Fiber to the Home (FTTH)

•According to BMI-T (2015) FTTH could reach more than 360,000 active subscriptions in South

Africa by 2019, with the majority of the growth coming from subscribers in residential suburbs, where

much of the recent action has been focused.

•FTTH deployment has shifted from gated estates to suburbs.

•BMI-T analysed the plans and implementation status of all the key players in

• 448 areas across South Africa = 368 suburbs and 80 gated estates.

• These areas contain more than 500,000 houses, with the number of ‘houses passed’

increasing with deployment over the forecast period.

Mobile Broadband

•Percentage of population with access to 3G coverage 2016 – 98%

Government led broadband initiatives

SA Connect Broadband Phase 1 and

Phase 2 To facilitate and stimulate the expansion of broadband infrastructure, the

Department has developed business cases that will aggregate

government’s demand for broadband.

The implementation will be achieved through a two phased approach

implementation. The strategy includes cconnecting schools, clinics, post

offices, police stations and other government facilities

Phase 1: 6135 facilities (8 District Municipalities) and

Phase 2: 35211 facilities, (44 District Municipalities)

SA Connect Implementation Status and

Challenges

Progress Status:

SITA issued a Tender to procure broadband services to connect Government

facilities in the Phase 1 District Municipalities.

The tender closed on 8 August 2016 subsequent to the request for extension by the

potential bidders, evaluation is underway and is planned for completion by October 2016

Phase 2 business case was developed and submitted to National Treasury for

funding.

Challenges:

The Department worked with National Treasury to explore different options to

facilitate the appointment of the service provider in accordance with the PFMA. The

process took longer than planned and resulted in delays in the appointment of the

service provider for Phase 1 of the broadband connectivity.

Limited funding to procure broadband connectivity (Phase 1) in line with the South

Africa Connect targets and no funding allocation for Phase 2.

The Department is working with the Treasury to unblock the funding issue, taking into

consideration the lessons learned and to be learned from Phase 1 project.


Broadband War Room

Cabinet has approved the establishment of a war room to accelerate

the implementation of the South Africa Connect strategy by unblocking

challenges that are identified.

The War room will consists of several government departments

including the DTPS

USO Monitoring and Evaluation

18

Provincial steering committees are setup with monthly meetings for feedback on

progress and to solve problems experienced; role players in these steering

committees are provincial officials, DBE, DTPS, Licensees, service providers and

ICASA only when need arises.

DBE has developed a monitoring tool to monitor both online and offline data usage;

Currently piloting in Eastern Cape and KZN before national rollout

DTPS audited few schools connected through the USO programme. The identified

issues were raised and resolved with operators through engagements in the

monthly steering committees


Aim is to stimulate the uptake and usage of ICTs to build an inclusive

information society because without access and participation in all

aspects of society to economic growth through educational and health

improvements, participatory democracy will be compromised.

Given that the Digital Opportunity should be linked to the other SA Connect

strategies, key principles in the implementing the opportunities occuring

from the Broadband are:

A focused approach aligned with the Digital Development strategy

A bottom-up approach to be adopted in consultation with

communities

Sustained stakeholder engagements process

A phased approached with costed estimates

Institutional capacity- facilitate the improvement of existing and the acquisition of new skills for ICT

practitioners


The DTPS has identified the e-Government and skills development as the areas

that requires urgent attention

These two areas are aligned with the development of a National e-Strategy

process to be completed this year

The e-Government strategy is included in the APP 2016/17 which will result in

the development of a three (3) year e-Service Programme for the whole country

There is a need to build institutional mechanism to align the institutions’

budgets to this programme

There is a need for buy-in from the relevant stakeholders on this

programme to ensure a universal understanding that this intervention will

strengthen their capacity to deliver services efficiently and speedier.

Site Auditing and Verification

Technical review and support on the Provincial broadband initiatives

Coordination of work streams dealing with Local SMME Development, ICT Skills and

training, Research and development, Content, application and service development and the

review of Provincial broadband Funding options/models

At the SIP 15 Inter-Governmental Framework meeting convened in March 2016, the

following issues were discussed:

The quality and bandwidth of connectivity provided to schools under the various

programmes – it takes too long to repair when broken, and the services do not adhere to the

SA Connect Policy

Sustainability of the connectivity- who takes over after an initial period of sponsored

connectivity?

Theft and vandalism – equipment get stolen from schools, copper lines get stolen.
