According to the Chief Commercial Officer, Erik van Veen, “The cost of doing business has increased significantly over time. The escalating power crisis is having a particular impact on MTN’s cost base. In an effort to continue to offer quality services to our customers, it has become necessary to implement a nominal tariff increase. Over the past 3 years, only tariff increases due to excise tax have been possible. These increases were necessary so as to recover the tax burden from the end-user. As such, MTN has not been able to implement any price increases to cater for inflation and the increased cost of doing business. |
Whereas the cost of doing business has increased over 25 percent over the last 3 years, the tariff adjustments only reflect about 5 percent.
The new tariffs were announced to the public in the press on Sunday April 24, 2006.
