Sky Internet SA CEO and founder, Lorna Mlonzi (29) started the company with the focus of providing fast, efficient internet services to people living in townships, and rural areas.
The company is one of the biggest telecommunications companies in South Africa and provides wireless connectivity to households and businesses in informal settlements and underprivileged communities.
Speaking to Future Females, Lorna expressed why she started Sky Internet SA, “I’m just an ordinary person who saw a gap in the townships that I come from and having studied ICT (Information Communication Technology), I realized there is actually nobody right now who is trying to improve telecommunications infrastructure within townships.
A lot of the time we look at affordability but there’s actually a lot of money within townships, you just have to know how to tap into that space and understand how to work your business within that market. It’s not easy, but one thing I can say is that starting a business is one of the best decisions I’ve made in my entire life,” she said.
Lorna believes in the power the internet has when used right, and everyone deserves fast, affordable, and reliable internet. “Where we live and come from should not hinder us from any opportunities,” is a slogan Sky Internet SA believes in!
Lorna is definitely a Fuse Favorite for all the work she does.
