Communications minister Mondli Gungubele has emphasised the need for collaboration among African countries, in order to build a collective future in the digital era.
Noting the progress African countries have made in regards to internet usage, Gungubele stressed that the future requires universal digital connectivity. “By working together, African countries can share the cost of building and maintaining digital infrastructure, making it more affordable for each country.”
Also commemorating Africa Day were Parliament’s presiding officers – Lechesa Tsenoli and Amos Masondo – noting this year’s celebration coincides with the last days of the sixth parliamentary term and comes days before SA’s national and provincial elections on 29 May.
