Launch of the Tshwane ForGood initiative
29 September 2015
The City of Tshwane in partnership with Project Isizwe, Happimo, and ForGood has launched an initiative known as Tshwane ForGood on the City of Tshwane Free WiFi network.
Tshwane ForGood is an online platform that connects citizens who want to volunteer time or donate goods with registered and vetted non-profit organisations via the Tshwane Free WiFi network.
It makes finding ways to give back quick, easy and fun. Through this initiative, the City of Tshwane aims to create a more tolerant and inclusive society by encouraging its citizens to support those in need.
Citizens that would like to volunteer or donate time to a good cause can find out more following the links on the Tshwane Free WiFi content portal, www.tobetsa.com.
Municipalities are increasingly playing a powerful role in the Internet connectivity access space. Tshwane ForGood creates a perfect opportunity to bridge the economic gap between the haves and the have not.
The Executive Mayor of the City of Tshwane Councillor Kgosientso Ramokgopa enthused that “Tshwane ForGood is another example of how the City of Tshwane is using technology to improve the lives of residents.”
