Dark Fibre Africa executive for strategy, mergers & acquisitions Vino Govender joins the TechCentral podcast for a discussion on how Covid-19 and the lockdown in South Africa have affected both DFA and the telecommunications industry more broadly.

Lastly, what has the impact been on the telecoms sector - and what is likely to come next?
