Much has been written about the development of communications, and particularly the Internet in Africa. The existing thinking and narrative has attempted to explain the reasons it lags many other regions of the World, and focused on technical and economic inhibitors. Notwithstanding this base of knowledge and literature, Andile Ngcaba would like to tackle this issue from the perspective of a practitioner.
