A technology company has appealed to government to help make the roll-out of fibre for broadband less costly and cumbersome.
Gustav Smit, CEO of Dark Fibre Africa, says outdated policies and a pedantic approach from local authorities are costing the country dearly.
Smit was speaking at a telecommunications conference in East London.
He says it can take up to nine months to get permission to lay fibre at certain bridge crossings or railway areas.
