Free Internet connectivity is central to providing this access. This research paper focuses on the implementation of free Wi-Fi within selected underprivileged areas of South Africa through Project Isizwe, which is based on the belief that every citizen of South Africa regardless of their socio-economic conditions has the right to have good quality, affordable Internet access. With a combination of studying current available literature and analysing Project Isizwe as a case study, factors were deduced for future successful implementation of free Wi-Fi and access to information in underprivileged communities.enWi-FiInformation accessICT for developmentProject IsizweUnderprivileged communitiesPresentation
