there are.  But in the last 5 years or so, the PS folk have been laying
operational fiber without government involvement, so the waste fraud and
abuse of funds isn't what it once was.

The bottom line is that the PS is creating this fiber network in Africa.
 Here is another map of a completely operational network of one provider,
connecting Capet Town to Kampala and points in between.  It's a reality on
the ground.  http://www.liquidtelecom.com/fibre/fibre-map
