BoFiNet Completes P43 Million Local Access Fibre Project, Connecting Three Villages to High-Speed Internet

Botswana Fibre Networks (BoFiNet) has completed its 2025/26 Local Access Projects, rolling out high-speed fibre internet to Moshupa, Ramotswa/Taung, and Thamaga. The P43 million initiative marks a significant step in bridging the digital divide and advancing Botswana's national development agenda.

The project has connected 191 customers across the three villages – 68 in Moshupa, 66 in Ramotswa/Taung, and 57 in Thamaga, including businesses, government offices, and residential areas. Beyond connectivity, the project created 210 jobs for Batswana during construction, demonstrating infrastructure investment's power to stimulate local economies.

This initiative aligns directly with the Botswana Economic Transformation Programme (BETP) and BoFiNet's mandate to provide world-class telecommunications backbone infrastructure that enables socio-economic progress. By building critical fibre foundations, BoFiNet enables internet service providers to offer affordable, high-quality internet, fostering competition and lowering data costs for citizens.

This project lays the foundation for economic empowerment and a knowledge-based society. By connecting business centres, government offices, and homes in these villages, BoFiNet is unlocking opportunities for e-commerce, e-government, and digital learning that were previously out of reach.

The completion of these projects underscores BoFiNet's commitment to achieving 100% national broadband coverage and digital inclusion, ensuring that no community is left behind. These efforts form part of a broader strategic push to expand fibre infrastructure across the country, with particular focus on underserved areas.
