At the launch of the initiative in Sandton, Johannesburg, Mashatile said, “We want a young boy in a rural village, who once had to walk kilometres just to borrow textbooks from a distant school library, to now have full access to digital connectivity. From his home, he should be able to log into online learning platforms, attend virtual classes, and connect with mentors across the world.

“Digital transformation is no longer a choice, it is an economic imperative. Around the world, it is driving investment, accelerating innovation, creating sustainable employment and improving the delivery of public services.”

Using satellite technology, BrainSAT seeks to integrate communication solutions to areas of government, business, and industry, allowing for secure data, voice, and broadband connectivity across sectors.
