Northern Cape: Vodacom recently launched five new base stations on the N7 route in the Springbok area, the administrative capital of Namaqualand, thereby effectively bringing mobile communication to 15 000 community members, covering 90 kilometres of road. This opening marks the second of Vodacom’s three-phased base station roll out project in the Cape, following the launch of a base station in Middlepos last Saturday, 22 July.
