Bridging a Digital Divide

Cape Town is a city of contrast.

This rich diversity in history, wildlife, culture, landscape, and industry gives rise to Cape Town’s characterization as the ‘world in one city.’ But nowhere does this ring so true as when a 10 minutes’ drive from the palm-lined streets of the city’s posh urban center finds you on a shanty-lined street in one of the city’s sprawling townships.
