International Benchmarks for South Africa

- ICT Development index (IDI)


South Africa’s IDI global ranking (Source: ICASA Report, 2018)

❑ The ICT Development Index (IDI) is an index

published by the ITU based on internationally

agreed ICT indicators. IDI comprises of the

following sub-indices:

o ICT Access (ICT readiness – infrastructure

and access)

o ICT Use

o ICT Skills

❑ South Africa’s overall global ranking on the IDI

regressed for the second time to position 92 in

2017 (out of 176 countries), having lost 2 spots in

2016 to be at position 88 (from position 86 in

2015).

❑ South Africa’s ranking was affected by both Use

and Skills, which dropped from 86 and 80 in 2016

to on 95 and 93 in 2017. Access improved from 91

in 2016 to 90 in 2017.

Broadband Challenge

• While ICT is seen as a powerful tool to economicdevelopment and to an effective and efficient servicedelivery by government, SA is still challenged withissues of accessibility, usability and affordability.

• Inability to access ICT is closely associated with povertywhich is most prevalent in predominantly rural or poorareas.

• The Statistics SA, General Household Survey (GHS)2016 re-affirms the existence of a digital divide betweenprovinces, districts and municipalities.

Broadband Challenge

• Broadband roll-out is very capital intensive andrequires billions of Rands

• Recovery of investments must be secured – longpayback period

• SA Geography challenges - population is dispersed

• Uneconomical to roll-out in certain areas andrequires cross-subsidization.

Supply Side Considerations

• Affordability of services and devices

• Availability of local content

• E-literacy and massification of e-skills

• Availability of electricity

Demand Side Considerations

To facilitate and stimulate the expansion of broadband infrastructure, the Department has developed business cases that will aggregate

government’s demand for broadband. The implementation will be achieved through a two phased approach.

Phase 1• The strategy includes cconnecting schools, clinics, post

offices, police stations and other government facilities

• To expand broadband Infrastructure to provide universal access by connecting 6135 Government facilities in the 8 prioritized districts

Phase 2• Focuses on providing broadband connection services in

the remaining 44 districts to schools, health and a number of other government facilities within these identified districts.

• To expand broadband Infrastructure to provide universal access by connecting 35211 Government facilities in the 8 prioritized districts

Fibre Networks are a Springboard to 5GThe evolution to 5G wireless service will require the construction and operation of dense, mesh fibre networks. To achieve these aims most efficiently, 5G and all-fibre providers will need access on a reasonable and non-discriminatory basis to public and private land, to poles, ducts, and conduits, and to commercial and residential buildings.5G densification requires 10 to 100 times more cell sites than exist today.

SOC Rationalisation Roadmap

❑ In line with the PRC Report and the NDP, the DTPS through the ICT SOE rationalisation project, seeks to achieve consolidation of

ICT resources in order to capitalize on available technology capabilities and convergence of available resources to deliver robust

digitized services across Government.

❑ Having considered the severity of the challenges raised (which include amongst others, infrastructure duplication, wastage of

scarce financial resources, etc.) the department is determined to move from the current fragmented mode of service delivery to a

more consolidated approach by creating an NBN Co and the State IT Company.

❑ On 6 Dec 2017 Cabinet approved the framework and mandates for the establishment of the State ICT Infrastructure (NBN Co) and

State IT companies
