Vodacom (Empangeni and Richards Bay)
Zululanders are devoted Vodacom customers – they’ve made it clear by once again voting for Vodacom Richards Bay and Empangeni as both Best Internet Service Provider and Best Cellphone Store.
The local Vodacom outlets have won this award several times in the past few years, which speaks volumes about Vodacom’s ability to meet customer needs.
Vodacom Shop Richards Bay, situated next to H&M in Boardwalk Inkwazi Shopping Centre, has recently been upgraded to include more product and service offerings.
The revamp formed part of the company’s drive to enhance their customer experience and connect more people, households and businesses to the latest digital innovation and technology.
“As a store, we continuously strive to give our best and support the community with our goal to connect people locally, as well as those who are far away, especially in rural areas. We want to give everyone the opportunity to use the internet, laptops and smartphones, and get in touch with the latest technology and connect to people and make their lives better,” said owner Haroon Patel.
