More and more South Africans have access to telephones, while most do not have
reliable access to the Internet or even printed media. A telephone-based, speech-driven information
system can build on existing infrastructure and communication methods to connect all South Africans
to the benefits of information technology.
The Lwazi project was commissioned by the Department of Arts and Culture to provide South Africans
with access to government information and services in any of the eleven official languages,
using a land line or mobile telephone, free of charge.
