News Summary:

South Africa's Internet Service Providers’ Association (Ispa) reported on June 30, 2026, that a group of smaller fibre network operators (FNOs) are increasingly impressing internet service providers, outperforming most established players in recent perception surveys. This competitive shift occurs as broadband providers, since January 20, 2026, have been expanding affordable fibre internet into previously underserved communities, offering uncapped services for as low as R5 per day in dense urban and township areas. Earlier, on December 5, 2025, Dark Fibre Africa (DFA) appointed Paul Divall as Chief Commercial Officer. Divall brings extensive experience from the telecommunications and technology sectors, with his role marking a strategic step for DFA to sharpen commercial execution and strengthen market engagement.
