Vodacom has announced a R1 billion network-infrastructure investment in KwaZulu-Natal for financial year 2027, including approximately R419 million for radio network expansion and modernisation.
Vodacom has announced a R1 billion investment in its KwaZulu-Natal network infrastructure for financial year 2027. The plan focuses on coverage, capacity, resilience and infrastructure upgrades.
Approximately R419 million of the planned investment is allocated to radio network expansion and modernisation. That makes radio infrastructure a substantial identified component of the wider provincial programme.
A secondary report says the radio-network work includes new sites, 5G upgrades, wider coverage and capacity improvements. The R419 million figure applies to radio network expansion and modernisation as a whole, not specifically to 5G.
For businesses and customers using mobile connectivity in KwaZulu-Natal, the programme’s stated coverage, capacity and resilience priorities identify the network areas Vodacom intends to address. The available figures establish the planned spending and its approximate radio-network allocation, but do not establish a financial return from the investment.
