The government of South Korea has committed 8 million South African rand (US$980,000) to establish an Information Communications Technologies Co-operation Center (ITCC) in South Africa.
Radhakrishna Padayachie, the South African deputy minister of communications, and Nam-Joon Chung, vice minister in the Korean Ministry of Public Administration and Security, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to formalize the three-year commitment.
