The indicator should have been clearly worded to reflect a Pilot study, hence it was regarded as non-achievement. Full scale implementation of the GEC will take place in 2025, following three years of piloting. 2.3.7 : ICT Devices, The Indicator and the targets were based on obligations placed on Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) by ICASA, which some of the MNOs did not meet (MTN delivered 64 instead of 140 and Cell C delivered 6 out of 107, Only Vodacom and Liquid Telkom delivered fully).
