Q1 2026

“Team,

As we enter this new phase of our growth journey as a leading FNO, we do so with a clearly defined strategic focus and a renewed commitment to disciplined execution.

Our primary objectives are twofold:

1. Expanding our national fibre footprint to strengthen our infrastructure presence, increase market penetration, and enhance service accessibility across key regions.

2. Accelerating the growth of our channel business to position ourselves as a leading provider of business connectivity solutions through strong, scalable partnerships.

Expanding our fibre footprint is fundamental to long-term sustainability. It requires targeted geographic planning, capital discipline, operational efficiency, and seamless collaboration between planning, deployment, sales, and support teams. Every meter deployed must translate into opportunity and measurable return.

Simultaneously, the development of our channel ecosystem demands structure and intent. We must refine our partner value proposition, strengthen enablement programmes, improve onboarding processes, and ensure consistent service delivery. Our partners must view us as responsive, reliable, and commercially aligned.

Success in this next chapter will depend on the following:

  • Clear performance metrics and accountability across all departments
  • Proactive identification of new opportunities and markets
  • Strengthened cross-functional collaboration
  • A culture of urgency, ownership, and continuous improvement

This is a pivotal moment. The demand for reliable business connectivity continues to grow, and we are well positioned to meet it, provided we execute with precision and unity. Let us approach this phase with confidence, professionalism, and shared determination. Together, we will extend our reach, deepen our partnerships, and reinforce our position as a national leader in Business fibre connectivity.

The opportunity is significant and the responsibility is ours. Let us deliver.

PS – Now that the serious parts have been addressed, enjoy the Marketing teams attempt to entertain and humour…”

– Morne De Noon (COO)

EMPLOYEES IN THE SPOTLIGHT

The Blue Wall Is Back

Hold onto your coffee mugs…the Clear Access Blue Wall of Fame has officially stopped judging empty space.

Yes, it started out as a very serious blue “please add faces here” situation… but that’s changing. A few familiar faces have already made it onto the wall, and 2026 is only just getting started.

More Employee of the Month legends are on the way – ready to bring their best smiles, heroic poses, and at least one “I was definitely not ready for this photo” moment.

Below are the faces we have seen in Q1.
