Others promise great service. iWayAfrica guarantees IT.

iWayAfrica - Africa's leading corporate data provider. Our Company is the result of the merger of Africa's leading companies of Africa Online, Afsat Communications and MWEB Africa. We have nearly 45 years of combined experience.

Established in 2010, iWayAfrica Limited is the result of the amalgamation of the Africa Online and MWEB Africa groups which were acquired by Telkom South Africa Limited in February 2007 and April 2009, respectively. After acquiring 100% equity of Africa Online's holding company for ZAR150 million, Telkom made operational funding available to the ISP to the total amount of ZAR165 million. These funds were largely used for the procurement of infrastructure and payment of operating expenses.

Similarly, in April 2009 Telkom acquired MWEB Africa from Naspers (100% equity of MWEB Africa holding company and 75% equity of MWEB Namibia) for a total consideration of ZAR624 million.

With points of presence in more than 40 countries, we provide customised solutions to Africa's local, national, pan-African and multinational enterprises. We offer a hybrid of access solutions. We specialise on both satellite and terrestrial access services to keep your business connected to the world.

More than just providing the infrastructure, we have a long-standing history with ICT in Africa which enables us to provide a personalised customer experience with any customer in any one of the African countries within our footprint. This gives us the edge to overcome local obstacles to meet your needs.

Our company combines its extensive footprint with actionable insights, knowledge, experience and history thus providing a personalised customer experience wherever our customers operate in Africa. More than 60,000 customers in Africa choose iWayAfrica's corporate data services. But don't take our word for it, take theirs.
