[kictanet] South African Minister claims several consortiums interested in NEPAD international fibre project

[Eric Osiakwan]

There were "several" consortiums that had shown interest in getting  
involved with the proposed information and communication technology  
broadband infrastructure for the New Partnership for Africa's  
Development (Nepad), Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri, the minister of  
communications, said last week. Matsepe-Casaburri said the government  
was not delaying the process by insisting on an African majority  
shareholding for the under-sea cable. The minister did not identify  
the consortiums. Insiders say that the South African Government will  
probably end up financing the consortium if it goes ahead.
