Fibre to the home. That’s the main focus of this week’s episode of TalkCentral. Your hosts Duncan McLeod and Candice Jones take a look at i3 Africa’s plans to spend as much as R6bn building a fibre network into 2,5m SA homes in the next four to five years.

Will the project get funding? Will it succeed? Are its plans to use municipal sewerage and water systems feasible? Will it be affordable? What of the challenges faced in Australia and the UK by i3 Group, i3 Africa’s technology supplier?

Also on the agenda this week are MTN’s results and outgoing group CEO Phuthuma Nhleko’s future plans as well as Gijima’s department of home affairs woes. And we talk about news (according to our sources) that Nombulelo “Pinky” Moholi is about to be appointed as the new group CEO of Telkom.

This week’s show is available in audio, and the video version will be loaded on Monday once it’s been processed. We recommend the audio-only version for the best sound experience.
