Mweb appears to have announced via Twitter that the long awaited console servers for Battlefield 3 will be coming to South Africa at last.  There are no details yet other than a promise of more information to follow.  It does all tie in with the rent-able servers that arrived with the recent Battlefield 3 Patch on PS3 and which is still to hit the PC and Xbox 360.

@eXpZA @MPFirst You can BET on the fact that we are jumping on this. Finally our nagging paid off! Local BF3 console servers for SA yes yes!”

@Uberutang @eXpZA @MPFirst Details still incoming.”

We’ve made direct contact with MWEB to get clarity on the tweet.
