Amobia Communications has been relaying high speed wireless Internet access (The Inkululeko Project) to approximately 200 previous disadvantaged schools on the Cape Flats. This started off as a very noble and wonderful project, but in true SA nature, the NPO mismanaged this charity’s funds; leaving this project without any funding to maintain the connections. Amobia & Frogfoot Networks jumped in to rescue the existing connections, when the NPO closed down. Neither Amobia, nor Frogfoot are in the NPO business and desperately require a reputable NPO and sponsors to step forward and assist in getting this project up and running again.
