Other key findings
• National departments and other suppliers are
defining the ICT needs of the Province, they are
also shaping the ICT landscape;
• There must be a significant shift toward an ICT
space that is driven by the Province and
government entities.
• There is however a mindset gap between key
decision makers and ICT practitioners in public
organisations;
• The Province needs to move towards a meeting
of the minds
15
Other key findings
• Through the efforts of the working group, this
CSI investment can be redirected such that they
support a single vision for the Province.

Analytical framework
The illusion of affordability
must be addressed. Current
affordability has been
achieved by ‘subsidising’
the costs for services and
access
In future, all proposed
initiatives will be
assessed by means of
clear criteria based on
the analytical
framework
