Liquid Telecom Office in South Africa LIQUID Telecom, Africa’s leader in digital infrastructure, has completed one of the most audacious projects ever built on the continent, according to its founder and chairman of the Econet Group, Strive Masiyiwa. The latest project, which connects East and West Africa with a new high-capacity fibre link running 2,600-kilometre (km) across the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), has been ongoing for the past decade. “Next week on Tuesday President Félix Tshisekedi of the DRC will officially commission our fibre link, which runs from the port city of Moanda on the Atlantic, through Kinshasa the Capital, to Lubumbashi, Zambia, Zimbabwe and all the way to Cape Town,” Mr Masiyiwa said.
