South Africa

South Africa overview

Leading independent towerco

Do you know South Africa is home to 90% of the world’s largest resources of platinum group metals. Additionally, its telecom sector boasts one of the most advanced infrastructures on the continent and was the first country on the continent to launch 5G.

We entered South Africa in 2019 on a greenfield basis and there are a number of exciting dynamics in this market. The four main MNOs continue to expand and densify their networks, many towers are still held by the mobile network operators, and it is leading the charge in terms of new technology adoption relative to the rest of the continent.

These factors make South Africa an attractive market, in which our proven build capability establishes Helios Towers as a partner of choice.
