Lighting up townships with premium fibre
At PayGoZo we believe access to the internet is a human right.
Our work is providing premium, affordable, Pay-As-You-Go fibre internet to the township communities of South Africa.
Our Mission
Bridging the
digital divide
In South Africa, there are still communities that do not have access to the internet. Through this first-of-its-kind project, we want to provide our Townships with fast, affordable, Pay-As-You-Go Internet and bridge the digital divide that exists in our country.

Our Vision
Connecting the townships of South Africa
The vision here at PayGoZo is simple: we want to empower communities in South Africa by providing everyone with affordable internet. Empowering is the key to unlocking potential and creating an environment where individuals, families, and communities can be safe, educated, and entertained.
Our Partners
We’ve partnered with industry-leading companies and initiatives to make the digital divide in South Africa a thing of the past.
How We empower the community
Bridging the digital-divide is the only way to truly uplift the underserved. PayGoZo’s aim is to empower these communities by giving them access to the world’s knowledge and enabling them to experience it in a premium, limitless way.
Education
Students need access to the internet to get the most out of their education and enable themselves to make a difference in their community and in the world.
Entrepreneurship
Young business owners can harness the power of the internet to connect to their customers, receive and make payments and grow their business plus the economy.
Connection
Now more than ever we need connection with the world and those we love. Having an unlimited, fast internet gives the township folk an easy, low-cost way to connect with their loved ones.
