ICYMI | All South African learners to get a free government e-mail address
Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said every South African learner – from grade R to 12 in basic education and students in higher education – will get a free, government-supplied e-mail address, with the project to kick off later this year.
These SOEs include the Post Office , which will develop and provide “digital certificates” to underpin the free e-mail platform. The State IT Agency and the ZA Domain Name Authority will also be involved in the project, which still needs cabinet approval, the minister said.Grade 11 and 12 school pupils will be prioritised, but by the 2024/2025 financial year “all learners must have an e-mail address”, she said.
The idea is that learners will continue to have access to their e-mail address beyond school or tertiary study. “They can have an e-mail address when they apply for jobs. The e-mail will become portable.”
