| Notable | 1,200 m² of IT space on a 4,000 m² campus with 20+ networks, per iColo. Approximately 2 km to the nearest beach manhole, direct, short backhaul to submarine cable systems. | 250 racks operational in 580 m², 80+ connectivity providers and three internet exchanges per the operator. iColo states the Miritini campus will eventually hold three data centres across 18,000 m², 13 MW and 1,800 racks. Current IT power on the 4,000 m² site is 0.9 MW per iColo's homepage. Correction (22 September 2026): the 13 MW figure is the planned Miritini campus total (three data centres, 1,800 racks), not an MBA1-only figure; MBA1 itself is documented at 250 racks and 580 sqm of customer space. | Offers cross-connects to submarine cable systems. Telkom holds 23% of TEAMS, 10% of LION2 and 2.6% of EASSy, it is a cable landing party first and a colocation vendor second. |

Reading this table: a cyan Leads flag marks the highest figure in a row, it is not an endorsement, and “Not disclosed” means the operator has not published the figure, not that it is zero. Every value carries a source and a verification date on the facility's own profile, see the methodology.
