JOHANNESBURG – MTN has apologised to customers for service disruptions resulting from the industrial action by employees affiliated to the Communications Workers Union (CWU).

“It is with great disappointment that our customers are subjected to the recent service experiences which are as a result of the strike.

“On behalf of MTN South Africa, I would like to extend my most sincere apology for this,” says Ahmad Farroukh, Chief Executive Officer at MTN South Africa.

MTN has welcomed the establishment of a task team to look into payment for Sundays and public holidays in accordance with the provisions of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act.

In the interest of resolving all matters of mutual interest, MTN has proposed that an independent binding arbitrator be appointed to adjudicate the matters at hand.

“I wish to assure our customers that we view this matter in a serious light and we are working tirelessly to ensure that all our support services are operational. We plan to fully restore our services soon,” concludes Farroukh.

In a bid to end the labour dispute, MTN has made has tabled a bonus offer of 8 percent in 2015, and a guaranteed 12 percent bonus in 2016. MTN maintains that its offer is better than the 8 percent that the CWU had demanded initially.
