South Africa is an integral part of Africa. At the level of ICT integration of policy and systems, we will create an environment that is economically beneficial to all the people of the continent. In that spirit we hosted the African Union Communications and Information Technology meeting at ministerial level. The Oliver Tambo Declaration, which was adopted at this meeting, calls for the promotion of the integration of African ICT policy and systems, sharing of human resources, harmonisation of ICT regulations within the continent, sharing of infrastructure where possible, and addressing the accessibility and cost of communication. This culminated in the Addis Ababa Declaration of 2010, adopted by the AU heads of state and government, which was attended by President Jacob Zuma.
