This is part of Telkom’s Mobile strategy of being a data-led mobile operator in light of driving smart user customer behaviour.

In response to COVID-19, Telkom has zero-rated educational websites which include institutions of higher learning and TVET colleges to help the youth and students access education. The virus has forced a change in behaviour as people are encouraged to reduce social interaction by working from home in order to reduce the transmission of the virus. Students who now have to study at home can make use of the FreeMe data bundles to stream their lectures and not get left behind.
