The popular social media video platform, TikTok, has revealed a partnership with a South African WIFI service provider, ThinkWi-Fi, for introducing a free Wi-Fi hotspot across South Africa.
The Chief Executive Officer of ThinkWi-Fi, Mr. Janine Rebelo, confirmed the partnership through a statement on Friday, 9 September 2022.
According to him, the TikTok Wifi hotspot pilot is expected to function for six months. ThinkWi-Fi is a Cape Town-based Wifi company that connects people by using Free and Uncapped Wi-Fi internet.
The CEO said: “We are excited to be contributing to one of the most important needs of our people today. Opportunities on the internet for our youth are endless, but a lot of South Africans do not have the access to digital hardware, digital literacy skills, and importantly, internet connectivity.”
