Most South Africans experience the internet through their mobile phones. Whether it be through Facebook, Google or WhatsApp, once they have had access to the net and the possibilities it presents, it becomes an important part of their lives. However, an estimated third of South African smart phone owners can\u2019t afford the data to use the internet or update the software on their phones.<\/p>\n
