Unemployed youth and school children of Soshanguve Block NN need our support. With the rising cost of living and limited opportunities, access to affordable internet is vital. However, Vuma Fibre is applying excessive fees for their WiFi services in our community. We demand change.

Residents of Soshanguve Block NN pay R439 per month for Vuma's WiFi service, far above what other communities in similar socio-economic standings incur. This pricing disparity is not only unfair but leaves our community further disadvantaged, cutting off access to essential educational resources, job opportunities, and a connection to the wider world.

Reliable internet is a necessity, not a luxury. It bridges the gap between poverty and opportunity, especially for young people striving to lift themselves out of economic hardship. Many students in Soshanguve are unable to access online learning tools due to these prohibitive costs. In a world increasingly dependent on technology, denying educational tools equates to denying children's future.

We have delved into pricing structures in other communities serviced by Vuma, and the disparity is glaring. For instance, in nearby areas, pricing can be significantly lower. We believe similar rates should be available to Soshanguve’s residents to level the playing field.

We call on Vuma Fibre's management to reconsider their pricing model in Soshanguve Block NN. By implementing fairer rates, Vuma can support our community’s development, and contribute positively to our local economy.

This petition seeks not only fairness in pricing but a commitment to bridging the technology divide in disadvantaged areas. We request a meeting with Vuma's management to discuss possible solutions that could include price adjustment or alternative less-costly packages that meet basic internet access needs.

Your support is crucial. Sign this petition to demand fair WiFi pricing for Soshanguve, so that all residents, especially our youth, can have equal access to the tools they need for success.
