Vumatel’s parent company Maziv says that one million of the homes were passed within the last three and a half years. The latest rollouts were targeted specifically at underserviced, lower-income areas.
Vumatel’s network now consists of over 50,000km of fibre. The network of its sister company, Dark Fibre Africa, now measures 15,000km.
Vumatel first started rolling out fibre to the home in Johannesburg, in 2014. Today, it has overtaken its main rival in the FTTH market — Telkom’s Openserve, which had passed just over 1.1 million homes by June 2023.
