In 2017 Nyimpini Mabunda, chief office of Vodacom’s consumer business unit, said as he was introducing Vodacom, Facebook Flex customers ,which will no longer be used to access Facebook free mode.

“Network operators like ourselves have a role to play in reducing the digital divide, particularly between those in urban and rural areas,” he said.

“In all our efforts we are mindful of the immense pressures that consumers face which are largely associated with the cost to communicate” he added. 

“The popularity and the extensive use of social media services such as Facebook as a means of communication has made it a necessity rather than a luxury,” Mabunda said.
