A huge pity. Langa, Khayelitsha, Gugulethu, Delft, Elsies River, and Philippi are poor, underserviced areas. It’s unlikely they benefit from the fiber to the home that the rest of Cape Town has (nor could many of their residents afford it). What they do have are cellphones and a free wireless service would likely benefit many. I can’t see any commercial value from continuing the service in these areas: Exactly why a wealthy tech company /should/ be considering this service. It’s quite possible the new operators will retreat to the formerly white (and rich) suburbs and center of Cape Town. * I’m a South Africa ex-pat living in the U.S.
