Trans-Kalahari project to boost ICT infrastructure

Marking the ground-breaking launch of the Botswana Telecommunications Corporation (BTC's) Trans-Kalahari and SDH project this week in Ghanzi, Minister of Communications, Science and Technology, Pelonomi Venson-Moitoi, said that when completed, the Trans-Kalahari project will connect the planned EASSy and WAFS under-sea fibre cable projects.

The Trans-Kalahari project is sub-divided into three parts, with the first leg earmarked to start in Jwaneng, via Ghanzi to Mamuno - a phase that will connect directly to Namibia.
