The Vodacom tower status is as follows:
Construction is complete, except for the electrical
connection. Vodacom paid just over R200k about 3 months ago and is still
waiting for the city's electrical department to provide electricity for the
tower.
According to the city's electrical department the subcontractors are to blame for the delays. How long this will take is anyone's guess.
Let's say before Xmas 2017!
As soon as the electricals are done, Vodacom will be able to
go live within one week. Thereafter it should be a matter of a few months
before MTN and CellC also start using the tower to provide better
signals - they have already expressed their interest to Vodacom.
I have also been in communication with our ward 4 councilor
asking him to accelerate the council processes so that the electrical
connection can be done.
Hope this update helps. Will let everyone know the minute
the tower is operational.

George Zaverdinos.
