Connecting Millions Through Innovation and Access
In January 2025, VUMA reached a fantastic milestone of almost 1 million active fibre customers and a total footprint of over 2 million households making VUMA the largest Fibre Network Operator in South Africa. However, it is more than network coverage, VUMA aims to close the digital divide by bringing fibre to the under-served.
Vuma Key provides affordable fibre internet to residents in townships and low income areas, since its launch in Alexandra in 2024, to create opportunities for education, work and digital inclusion.
