Hi. This is a letter which me and my classmates wrote
to access Wikipedia for free.
It goes as follows
Open letter to Cell C, MTN, Vodacom, and 8ta
We are learners in Grade 12 at Sinenjongo High School,
Joe Slovo Park, Milnerton, Cape Town.
We recently heard that in some other African countries,
like Kenya and Uganda,
cell phone providers are offering
their customers free access to Wikipedia.
We think this is a wonderful idea
and would really like to encourage you also
to make the same offer here in South Africa.
Our school does not have a library.
Ninety percent of us have cell phones
but it is expensive for us to buy airtime,
so if we could get free access to Wikipedia,
it would make a huge difference to us.
Normally, when we do research,
Wikipedia is one of the best sites,
and there is information on just about every topic.
Think of the boost that it will give us as students
and to the whole educational system of South Africa.
Our education system needs help
and having access to Wikipedia
would make a very positive difference.
Thank you.
Enkosi.
Thank you.
Thank you.
