Rapid Deployment of Electronic Communications Networks (5G)

Minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams has gazetted a new policy on the rapid deployment of communications networks in South Africa.
This policy proposes that network operators can erect infrastructure on private land, and property owners cannot charge an access fee and are liable for any damage to the infrastructure. Our participation campaign opened a week ago and more than 43,000 submissions have been collated through the Dear South Africa site so far, from across all nine provinces in the country (closes 21 August).

Linda, not yet participated in the Communications Deployment (5G) Campaign?
