Throughout Alan Knott Craig Jr’s career, he has taken in various telecoms and broadband companies, as well as failed chat app Mxit, but it is arguably from working with government on a free WiFi project where he has obtained the most scars.

Knott-Craig founded Project Isizwe in 2013, a non-profit that partnered with the City of Tshwane to roll out free WiFi networks for residents. Around 600 000 Tshwane citizens logged on to the network each month.
