Maboneng Fibre

Maboneng is where we began, and was the first neighbourhood to be connected to our internet infrastructure. Maboneng Broadband was founded in 2013 by Mark Seftel to provide data services to the Open Collaborative workspace and the Maboneng precinct. The business operation was spun out and acquired by Manmark Investments in early 2015, recapitalised and positioned more broadly to provide true open access FTTH networks to other suburbs and precincts using the valuable knowledge and experience gained in Maboneng. Maboneng is in our DNA – the same innovative and positive community spirit we encourage in our own team and that we look to enhance in each subsequent neighbourhood that we light up. For years Joburg’s CBD was considered a “no-go” area; now – thanks to urban regeneration – it is the city’s go-to zone for radically fast internet and vibey urban living, with a strongly beating business heart. A thriving, diverse community, Maboneng is home to retail, restaurant and entertainment venues as well as apartments, offices and creative business spaces in an ultra-connected urban environment. Residents, businesses and visitors alike can benefit from warp-speed internet as they live, work and play in Joburg’s most exciting district. Maboneng is associated with urban cool, innovation and enterprise. It’s about a refusal to accept the status quo when there’s a better alternative. “Made in Maboneng” has become a guarantee of a certain spirit of creativity, ingenuity, and vision. We’re extremely proud to be Made in Maboneng, and of our role in connecting this urban neighbourhood. See www.mabonengprecinct.com for more information on the Precinct itself. We’ve tried to capture the essence of Maboneng in everything we do. Our fibre-optic broadband has “Maboneng inside” and that spirit enables us to bring the best of South Africa to the world, and vice versa. Made in Maboneng; available everywhere.
