Fibre networks are crucial in improving internal connectivity within African countries while linking them to a strong regional digital infrastructure. This development establishes a smooth and unified cross-border digital network.

On December 12, Liquid Intelligent Technologies, a subsidiary of Cassava Technologies and a leading pan-African technology group, announced the completion of its fibre network extension from Ramatlabama to Ramokgwebana. Spanning over 730 kilometres, this independent network marks Botswana’s first direct connection from the northern region along the A1 road, linking key towns such as Francistown, Mahalapye, and Palapye.

Odirile Tamajobe, Managing Director of Liquid Botswana said, “The high-speed connectivity access is set to benefit urban centres and rural communities along the route and further expand our presence in Botswana and the continent through the One Africa Digital Network.”

The fibre expansion extends beyond Botswana, connecting to networks in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Kenya, Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Sudan. This cross-border infrastructure enhances regional digital connectivity and supports Africa’s broader digital transformation goals. The project also empowers local Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to expand their offerings to retail customers, indirectly benefiting households and driving regional employment opportunities.

This development further cements Liquid’s leadership in the region’s digital transformation, ensuring greater inclusion and access to high-speed internet. By addressing connectivity gaps, empowering businesses, and integrating the country into a larger regional network, Liquid Intelligent Technologies is helping Botswana achieve its Vision 2036 ambitions while contributing to Africa’s broader digital future.
