It has some of the best rail, road and communication systems in Africa. Yet more than 2/3 of South African adults have never used the Internet.
The South African Network Society recently reported that only 34% of South African adults use the Internet. That is about 12 million people.
3/4 of the country's Internet users live in cities. Most of them use cellphones to get on the Internet. The rest go to Internet cafes or use the Internet at school or work.
Indra de Lanerolle is with the South African Network Society. He says there are many reasons why so few South Africans use the Internet. Cost is one of them.
Poor Internet connectivity in rural South Africa and the high price of Internet-ready mobile phones have also kept the poor disconnected. Most schools and workplaces in rural South Africa, where the majority of the country's people live, have no Internet connection.南非是非洲最富裕的国家，同时也是最现代化和科技最发达的国家之一，拥有非洲最好的铁路、公路和通讯网。然而，超过三分之二的南非成年人从未使用过因特网。
南非网络协会（South African Network Society）近期指出，仅有34%的南非成年人使用互联网，这个数字约为1,200万人。
全国3/4的互联网使用者住在城市，多数使用手机上网。其他人则是去网吧或者使用学校或办公地点的互联网。
因德拉德莲洛丽（Indra de Lanerolle）效力于南非网络协会。他表示，众多原因导致南非网络使用者人数甚少，成本问题既是这些原因之一。
南非乡村地区网络连接差、上网手机价格高昂，这些因素也使穷人无法使用互联网。南非多数人住在乡下，而乡下多数学校和工作地点没有联网。
