The Minister of Communications and Digital Technologies, Ms Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams in collaboration with Huawei, MTN, China Commserve and Firtech will, on 14 December 2019, conduct a "16 days of activism for no violence against women and children" outreach programme at Khanyisa Children's Home in Mthatha, Eastern Cape.
With the looming festive period, the outreach programme will also incorporate cybersecurity awareness, focusing on online and financial safety for both young people and the elderly. "The growth of the information society is accompanied by new and serious threats. Whilst technology introduces greater variety and convenience into our lives, it also opens an avenue for people to be targeted by cyber criminals. It is therefore important that we continuously ensure that our communities are aware of cybersecurity threats, especially during the festive period when cybercrimes are on the rise," says Minister Ndabeni-Abrahams.
