Vodacom has partnered with the University of the Witwatersrand (WITS) in Johannesburg to keep students connected to higher learning activities to help students stay on track to successfully complete the 2020 academic year despite not being on campus.
WITS is one of the most iconic and long-standing universities within South Africa and is internationally recognised for its research and high academic standards. To ensure that all students at WITS are given an opportunity to complete the 2020 academic year, Vodacom has committed to providing each student with a 30GB data bundle to remain connected and continue their education while they are away from campus.
William Mzimba, Chief Officer for Vodacom Business said: ”We can all agree that success begins with education. For many students, remote learning is a challenge as they do not have the means to access online learning materials. As remote learning becomes a necessity due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Vodacom Business is proud to partner with WITS to support education and the development of tomorrow’s future business leaders by keeping students connected. Investing in education and improving connectivity plays a key role in fast-tracking our country into the Fourth Industrial Revolution.”
Shirona Patel, WITS spokesperson said: ”WITS University is committed to ensuring that its students can access online teaching and learning through the provision of devices and data. This partnership with Vodacom provides our students with the data required to continue with their education and to move forward with their studies.”
