The service providers confirmed today that they are installing the new towers to finally bring reliable signal to our valley. My family will sleep much better knowing we can reach emergency services when we need them most. Thank you for helping me push this through.

Seeing this level of support confirms that my neighbors feel the same constant anxiety about our lack of connectivity whether for business or emergency safety. This momentum proves that our community is finally ready to demand the reliable service we require to protect our homes.

My neighbors and I are tired of running to the top of the hill just to call for help during an emergency. We need to hit two hundred and fifty signatures before I present our case to the service providers. Please send the link to your neighbors so we can show them how many of us are living in these dead zones.

Please this is really urgent as we are unable to get hold of the businesses in this area, more often than not there is no signal. It's almost impossible for them to run their businesses in this situation. Technology is the key to success. Please assist.

We are so cut off when others say they cannot reach us. I try a number and am told 'this number does not exist'! When in fact we just cannot connect???

After 15 years of being a loyal customer, I had to change from MTN to Vodacom due to the shocking MTN reception in the H&A valley, only to find out that the Vodacom signal was only a slight improvement....

It is very important to have better coverage because we can not connect or send SOS message in case of an emergency.

for safety and general coms and business purposes, mobile fone coverage ( together with internet access ) stifles growth and employment opportunities, putting communities at risk.
