Description: Thusong Service Centres are one-stop centres where local, provincial and national government, as well as other sector service-providers, offer Services and developmental information to local communities. These centres operate within a framework of Batho Pele principles and values. This means communities around Thusong Service centres identify Services offered by the centre based on their needs. Each centre is different and can either be located in a single building, or be part of a cluster of buildings. The infrastructure is influenced by the Services offered, population size and distances between access points in an area. This results in the establishment of hub centres which offer permanent Services including, government, economic, community and private sector Services, education and skills development, telecommunication, communication and information. Satellite centres and mobiles which are extensions of the hub centre, offer some of the above Services according to demand.
Description: Cape Access is a programme that provides access to information and communication technologies (ICT) to less privileged and rural communities across the Western Cape. e-Centres are the physical locations where Cape Access provides computers and internet access. These are placed in communities across the Western Cape where access to information and communication technologies (ICT) is limited. Cape Access aims to create opportunities for social change and economic growth by making state-of-the-art ICT more widely available.

Some of these e-centres are managed by e-community forums and provide local rural communities with computers and internet access, which they can use for a wide variety of purposes. School projects, job applications, internet banking, SARS efiling and CV creation are just a few examples. Through improved ICT availability, Cape Access is opening doors to better education, employment and business opportunities, fuelling socio-economic development in communities where it is most needed.Members of the e-Centres get free:Use of computers; Access to the internet; Access to e-mail; Printing (a maximum of 10 pages per person per day); Basic computer training; Access to government information and services; Access to job, business and research information; Accredited computer training.
