“By investing in these critical tourism hubs, we are not only preparing for the surge in demand during the festive season but also reinforcing our commitment to delivering superior network quality all year round.”
Domestic travel is expected to peak in a week.
South Africa also receives a significant number of international travelers.
“These upgrades ensure that South Africans and our visitors can enjoy uninterrupted, high-quality connectivity throughout their travels,” Essop assured.
