According to Sharif, the rationale for the mobile service stems from the need to extend existing services to areas of need, taking into account the resource constraints, thus maximizing limited capacity within the City of Cape Town by integrating the delivery of those services.

Furthermore the mobile service center is created with the goal of serving all localities in the City with the same quality found in fixed units.

'The Mobile Smart Cape Access Unit further empowers the citizens of the City of Cape Town to use ICT to prepare CVs, find employment, improve business practices, complete school projects or run owner-managed businesses, computer literacy and online content creation amongst other things,' Sharif concludes.
