No data available for the deliverable: Digital infrastructure roadmap
Summary
The Department of Communications and Digital Technologies (DCDT) launched the roadmap in May 2025 which aims to drive the adoption of digital technologies in government and building digital public infrastructure. https://www.stateofthenation.gov.za/assets/downloads/South_Africa_Roadmap_for_the_Digital_Transformation.pdf
View DetailsIs it working?
While the roadmap sets a clear and focused plan and is now in effect, the implementation of the key initiatives is expected to take several years, with phased milestones stretching from 2025 through to 2030 (and possibly beyond). Overall, the roadmap reflects the complexity and scale of the transformation, requiring time to stabilise systems, drive adoption and integrate services.
Actions
• The Inter-Departmental Working Group (IDWG) has been formed to oversee the roadmap by the Presidency/National Treasury/ Department of Communications and Digital Technologies • The Digital Service Unit (DSU) has been established in the Presidency to provide technical expertise and support to government departments and entities. The DSU will be led by technology entrepreneur Melvyn Lubega. Its primary role is to strengthen the execution capacity of government through targeted interventions that modernise and streamline public service delivery.
Are there plans?
Forms part of the DCDT Strategic Plan (2025-2030) & MTDP (2024-2029).
Is it on the agenda?
Falls under the Operation Vulindlela Phase 2 agenda.
Goals
The digital transformation infrastructure roadmap (MyMzansi) is a blueprint which aims to modernise the delivery of government services through comprehensive digitisation. The strategy document focuses on four key initiatives or pillars: digital identity (ID), data exchange, digital payments and digital services/channels. These four initiatives are expected to be completed in 2030.
