Huawei South Africa celebrates 25 years of innovation with South Africans

This year, Huawei South Africa is celebrating 25 years of being part of the country’s technology journey. Over the past quarter of a century, Huawei South Africa has grown alongside the digital landscape, supporting how people connect, work, create and live through technology.

From building the networks that keep our country connected to designing consumer devices used every day, Huawei’s focus has remained the same, making advanced technology accessible and meaningful for all South Africans.

Long-standing presence built on connection

Since establishing its South African operations, Huawei has worked closely with local operators, enterprises and partners to strengthen national connectivity. Today, Huawei’s supported networks serve nearly 80% of the South African population, enabling everything from everyday communication to digital services that underpin business, education and entertainment.

This long-term presence has allowed Huawei to develop a deep understanding of the local market, ensuring that the solutions and devices it brings to South Africa are relevant to both local needs and lifestyles.

Innovation that shows up in everyday life

While much of Huawei’s work happens behind the scenes in networks and infrastructure, its impact is most visible in the hands of consumers. Over the years, Huawei has introduced a wide range of smartphones, tablets and wearables designed to balance performance, design and reliability.

This commitment to consumer-centric innovation has made Huawei the leading brand in wearables in South Africa with smartwatches and fitness devices that seamlessly fit into everyday routines, from workdays to workouts.
