This offer will be available at selected stores, starting in KwaZulu-Natal and then expanding to Mpumalanga and Limpopo provinces.

"Millions of South Africans still rely on 2G devices, limiting their ability to access essential digital services, such as education, employment and financial services. By offering affordable 4G smartphones, we are empowering people to participate fully in the digital economy," says Rishaad Tayob, director of consumer business at Vodacom South Africa.
