Ilitha WiFi is run by Ilitha Telecoms, an internet provider aimed at township and underserved areas, selling prepaid wireless and fibre access rather than a monthly contract. Its website is ilitha.com, not a co.za address.
Official contact channels
- Telephone: 074 000 0124. This is the only voice number Ilitha publishes, so it is used for both sales and general queries
- General enquiries: [email protected]
- Technical support: [email protected]
- A contact form on the Ilitha website for written queries
- Head office: 42 Bath Avenue, Rosebank, Johannesburg, 2196
Use the support address rather than the general one for a connection fault, and include your account or voucher reference and the area you are in, since coverage is network-area specific.
What this organisation provides
- Prepaid uncapped internet access, bought by the day, week or month rather than on a contract
- Named plans including Ekhaya and Amaya, ranging from a single premium plan to family plans
- A Fibre On Your Block programme, for extending the network into a new street or block
- A Recharge Now route on the website for topping up an existing account
- Ilitha describes its purpose as connecting the unconnected and leaving no one behind
Because the service is prepaid, access stops when the period you paid for ends rather than rolling over. Check the validity period, not just the price, when you buy.
Coverage, applications and work with Ilitha
- Coverage is limited to areas where the Ilitha network has been built, and Ilitha notes that some plans are available only in selected regions. Confirm coverage for your address before paying
- The Apply section on the website is the route for requesting a connection
- Ilitha runs a Careers section and a separate Contractors section for businesses wanting to work on the network build
- The website also carries an FAQ covering common account and connection questions
Escalation
- Report a fault to the support mailbox first and ask for a reference number, then follow up on the published number quoting it
- Keep proof of any voucher or recharge purchase, since a prepaid dispute turns on what was bought and when
- An unresolved complaint about a South African internet service provider can be taken to the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa, using the contact details published on the ICASA website
