It is 1 April 2020 but this is no joke. Vodacom are dropping data prices and they have released the new set of changes which will come into effect from today. The new Vodacom data prices are nothing fantastic but they are a step in the right direction as the government are trying to make the internet more accessible to the masses.

The Vodacom data prices come in light of a ruling by the Competition Commissioner who instructed the cellular provider to reduce its overpriced data costs by at least 40%.
Take a look at the new Vodacom data prices;
| 30-day bundle size | New Price | Reduction |
| 50 MB | R12 | 40% |
| 150 MB | R29 | 33% |
| 325 MB | R55 | 33% |
| 500 MB | R79 | 21% |
| 1 GB | R99 | 34% |
| 3 GB | R229 | 23% |
| 5 GB | R349 | 14% |
| 10 GB | R469 | 22% |
| 20 GB | R699 | 31% |
Still No Feedback on Contract Customers?
Vodacom has yet to announce whether or not these price changes will affect contract customers. Many users have been requesting an answer as the service provider should be reducing contract costs to align the included data prices with these new discounts. However, they have yet to reveal any plan to make this possible.
As soon as we know what the situation is in regards to Vodacom contract customers, we will share the news. For now, if you are a pre-paid customer or top your contract up, the above prices is what you will pay.
Just because we’re apart doesn’t mean we can’t be together. Our 1 gig data bundle valid for one month, drops by 34% from today. We also have massive price reductions on other monthly data bundles: https://t.co/WtUfmZfb90 #stayconnected pic.twitter.com/kkXMX8GIMi
