30 years ago Vodacom embarked on its journey as a budding startup with grand visions.

30 years from now Vodacom envisions itself as a beacon of innovation, aiming for 300 million customers, ongoing societal impact, and expansion beyond mobile boundaries.

30 years ago my first position at Vodacom was a senior accountant in the general ledger budget control division. As we transitioned to computers, I provided Oracle training, ensuring a smooth transition and utilisation of the system, as well as overseeing budgeting and procurement.

"My first cellphone was a Motorola 5200"

My first call was likely occurred with a colleague within the office. Speaking of which, there’s a story about my former colleague, George, who was a photocopier technician. When he got his first cell phone, he carried it everywhere and even asked me to call him when he was in a taxi. One unfortunate day, he fell asleep in the taxi with his phone, and it got stolen.

My current smartphone is Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy Fold5.

The tech gadget that I cannot live without are my smartphones.

An innovative tech product or service that revolutionised the world is probably the smartphone, particularly the Apple iPhone, stands out as an innovative tech product.

The most played song on my playlist is Ballerina Girl by Lionel Richie.

Top 3 apps that I use frequently are LinkedIn, VodaPay and Instagram.

The best piece of advice I have received was

from my former boss, Leon Crouse, who advised me not to move to Cape Town when a job offer arose. He encouraged to stay and build my career here.

In another life, I would have been a trader, CFO or running my own business.

My style icon is that’s a tough one. I don’t have a style icon. Perhaps I see myself as my own style inspiration.

My favourite restaurant is Haiku in Cape Town. I highly recommend trying their Singapore chilli prawns and chili chicken.

A city that means a lot to me locally, Cape Town. Internationally, would be New York. The vibrant energy and diverse food scene. There’s always so much happening, and I thoroughly enjoy the vibrant atmosphere and good vibes they offer.

FAQs

I want to order a Vodacom Fibre service, what should I do?

To place an order for Vodacom Fibre service, you must first confirm the availability of fibre in your area using one of the following methods:

Completing a coverage check on our website
Message us on WhatsApp on 082 622 3509
Filling out a call-back request form
Call our Customer Care line on 082 1904

What is the installation process?

Once you've completed your application, your order is processed and added to the network build plan.
The fibre network is then rolled out in your area according to the build schedule.
The installation partner will contact you for an appointment to survey your home and plan the installation.
Once the installation plan is agreed upon, a separate appointment will be made with you for the installation partner to install the Vodacom Fibre service and required equipment at your home.

Can I take my Vodacom Fibre Broadband service with me if I relocate?

Service relocations will be allowed subject to the availability of fibre infrastructure at the location you're moving to.

If our Vodacom team can provide Internet services at your new location, you'll be offered a service similar to the service you had at your previous location. However, you will incur additional costs relating to the provisioning of the service at the new location.

Please note: If the relocation is to an area without a fibre network, then your current contract may be cancelled without any penalty and you'll remain liable for the cost of the Customer Premises Equipment (WiFi-enabled router).
