Important Tips for Visitors

• Required Documentation for In-Store Services (RICA Compliance):
  • When signing up for new contracts, performing SIM swaps, or purchasing new SIM cards, bring a valid South African ID document or card (or a valid foreign passport with visa for non-SA citizens).
  • Bring proof of residential address not older than 3 months (such as a utility bill, bank statement, or lease agreement).
• Avoid Peak Waiting Times:
  • Telecom outlets experience the highest foot traffic during lunchtime hours (12:00 – 14:00) on weekdays and throughout Saturday afternoons. Visiting early morning (09:00 – 11:00) generally ensures faster service.

  • For easy access to Level 4 and Level 5 telecom outlets, park in the Atrium, Banking Mall, or Roof parking sections.
