PROJECT UPDATE
TUNISIA
Lycamobile, one of the world’s biggest international
mobile virtual network operators, is to launch its service
in Tunisia, the 20th country in its international network.
Lycamobile chairman, Allirajah Subaskaran, said: “Tunisia is
one of the best-developed countries in Africa from a telecoms
perspective, and it has a large diaspora concentrated in Europe.
Those factors make it a natural market for us to open as we
continue our international expansion, following on from our
launches in Romania and Hong Kong earlier in 2015.”
SOUTH AFRICA
The South African Government has added laptops to
the list of essential goods which may now be sold under the
country’s extended lockdown period. In a directive, Higher
Education Minister Blade Nzimande said that these items have
been added to the list of essential goods for the continued
functioning of higher education institutions such as universities
and colleges. Nzimande said that the transport of these goods
between suppliers and higher education institutions as well
as between organisations and individuals will now be
declared an essential service.
