Introduction

The coastline north of East London is known for its stunning views and vistas. Grasslands blend seamlessly into rainforest into bushveld. The reason for these beautiful vistas is due to the hilly terrain which meanders interchangeably from 300m above sea level to 150m above sea level for about 100 kilometers until you finally reach Mthatha. Should you rather decide to visit the coastal village of Haga Haga, you will drive a dramatic descent from 300m to sea level in about 45 minutes. This descent, while beautiful on the eye, makes connectivity a nightmare for the local population who have struggled for years to get access to basic network infrastructure. 

One NPO decided to take matters into their own hands.

Internet South Africa (ISA) held their AGM on 11 May 2022.

Members were invited to attend in person from Cape Town or Johannesburg or online, via Zoom.

The board for 2021/22 is:

• Adri Loubser – Chair
• Peter Peele – Vice Chair
• Shaun Courtney – Treasurer
• Thoko Miya – Secretary
• Percy Nhau
• Alan Levin
• More Manda
• William Stucke
• Thato Mfikwe
• Rod Grewan

The minutes from the AGM can be viewed here and the full presentation can be watched on YouTube.

Please join us on Wednesday May 11 for our Annual General Meeting.

We’ll discuss the past year, the year ahead and choose a new board.

Please check your chapter notifications for online attendance details. Everyone is welcome and drinks and snacks will be provided to those attending in person.

We look forward to spending the evening with you.
