Vumatel operates an open access fibre network in South Africa, installing the infrastructure rather than acting as a direct service provider. Founded in 2014 by Niel Schoeman and Johan Pretorius, the company expanded its fibre rollout to homes across Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban after a Parkhurst pilot for Fibre to the Home. The network enables residents and property developments to connect to high-speed fibre while choosing from multiple Internet Service Providers, with entry-level packages advertised around R396 per month and schools receiving free 1 Gbps connections during deployment. Based in Johannesburg, Gauteng, Vumatel is a major player in South Africa's fibre access market, supporting a sizable workforce. It has built partnerships with more than 20 ISPs, including Cell C, MWEB, Afrihost, and Telkom, leveraging a competitive, open access model to reduce infrastructure duplication and lower consumer costs. In February 2026, the company announced a partnership with Jigele Trading (alongside CTS Telecoms) to extend high-speed fibre solutions directly to customers.
