South Africa climbed two places in the World Economic Forum's (WEF's) latest Global Information Technology Report, from 72nd to 70th out of 144 countries surveyed, scoring strongly for factors such as its regulatory, business and innovation environments, but poorly for other factors, particularly for quality of education.
South Africa was one of only two African countries that made the top half of the WEF's rankings, released on Wednesday, the other being Mauritius (55th). They were followed by Seychelles (79th), Egypt (80th), Cape Verde (81st), Rwanda (88th), Morocco (89th), Kenya (92nd) and Ghana (95th).
