In the “New Technologies Allow Phones to Reach Rurals” story we inadvertently gave the name of the Telecom CEO as Mr. Adri van der Veer, who is in fact a former CEO. The CEO officiating at the Semonkong launch was Mr Les Carlo.

 We would like to apologise to Mr. Carlo, Telecom and the public for the inconvenience this error may have caused.
