The Southern African Journal of Information and Communication (SAJIC), a South African Department of Education accredited journal, is published by the Learning Information Networking and Knowledge (LINK) Centre, Graduate School of Public and Development Management. The SAJIC is an annual, interdisciplinary journal concerned with Africa’s participation in the “information society” and network economy. It focuses on information and communication technology (ICT) issues at the global, regional and national level that have implications for developing countries in general, and for Africa and the Southern African region in particular, encouraging debate on different aspects of ICT policy, regulation, strategy and implementation. It is both a rigorous academic journal and a practical tool to inform the continent’s ICT actors and decision-makers in government, industry and civil society.
