DoC denies MTN-Bharti deal support

The Department of Communications today said that it has noted media reports with regard to the proposed deal between MTN and India’s Bharti Airtel, but denied that it has given its support to this proposed deal.

“We wish to put it on record that the Department and/or the government have not taken a stance on the issue as discussions between the parties are ongoing,” the Department of Communications said in a media statement.

“It is therefore incorrect that government has offered its support for the proposed tie-up at this stage as reported in the media.”
