What does Digital Sovereignty mean for South Africa?

In a world where technology is transforming every aspect of our lives, digital sovereignty is about ensuring that South Africa has the capability, resilience and partnerships to shape its own digital future.

It means strengthening cybersecurity, protecting data, investing in digital infrastructure, nurturing local innovation and building the skills needed to compete in an increasingly digital economy.

Most importantly, it means creating technology that works for South Africans and making government services more accessible, more efficient and more responsive to the needs of citizens.

This conversation lies at the heart of SITA Govtech 2026, where leaders from government, industry, academia and civil society will come together to explore how digital transformation can drive economic growth, improve service delivery and create a more connected future for all.

Join us as we chart South Africa's Digital Sovereignty Journey in Durban from 21 - 23 September 2026.
