Recent Developments
The match comes at a time when Botswana and Namibia were the first SADC members to implement reduced roaming rates in 2024, a significant step towards enhancing regional connectivity.

The price reductions for roaming charges now range from 10% to 98.6% for data, voice, and SMS services, reflecting the commitment of these nations to improve telecommunications and foster closer ties among them.
