(JUBA COUNTY) – Zain South Sudan has emerged as one of the country’s leading telecommunications providers, expanding mobile and internet services to connect communities and businesses across the nation. As part of the wider Zain Group, the company plays a central role in South Sudan’s efforts to strengthen digital infrastructure and support economic growth.
Established in 2011 following South Sudan’s independence, Zain South Sudan was formed from the split of Zain Sudan to serve the newly independent nation. The company quickly launched 3G services, enabling residents and enterprises in major cities such as Juba, Wau, Aweil, and Malakal to access reliable communication under the country’s new code (+211). This ensured service continuity during a crucial period of national transition.
Headquartered in Juba, the company has since grown its operations to more than 300 network sites, offering 2G, 3G, and 4G coverage across the country. By December 2020, Zain South Sudan had reached over one million subscribers. Its services support individuals, businesses, government agencies, and humanitarian organisations, contributing to social stability and economic development. The company’s focus on reliability and accessibility has made it a vital link in South Sudan’s challenging operating environment.
