Dark Fibre Africa expands fibre network via property sector collaboration

Dark Fibre Africa (DFA) is shifting its strategic focus toward expanding its national fibre optic footprint and increasing connections to commercial properties in South Africa. Following a recent modernization of its network and a significant investment of over 800 million rands, the wholesale open-access provider aims to improve service delivery, network uptime, and incident resolution times.

A key component of this growth strategy involves closer collaboration with the real estate sector. DFA is establishing a dedicated team of property specialists to work with developers during the early planning and construction phases of new projects. By integrating fibre connectivity into the initial design and foundation stages, the company seeks to reduce construction delays, lower costs for stakeholders, and ensure seamless connectivity for future occupants.
