MTN has provided an update<\/strong><\/a> on its financial performance for the third quarter of its 2021 financial year, showing a significant increase in data consumption and customers on its network in South Africa.<\/p>\n

MTN South Africa recorded 57.2% higher data traffic on its network between July 2021 and September 2021 compared to the same period last year. Active Internet users also increased by 15.3%.<\/p>\n

That resulted in an overall jump in mobile data revenue of 11.8% year on year.<\/p>\n

The operator revealed that an active MTN prepaid data subscriber now consumes an average of approximately 2.5GB of data per month.<\/p>\n

An active postpaid data subscriber uses more than four times that, at nearly 11.1GB per month.<\/p>\n

The company said a 29.7% reduction in its effective data tariff was behind the increased data consumption among its customers.<\/p>\n

Overall, MTN South Africa saw 4.7% service revenue growth in Q3 compared to the same period last year, bringing its total service revenue growth to 7.7% for the nine months ended September 2021.<\/p>\n

The operator also added 849,000 more subscribers in South Africa during the last quarter, bringing its total tally to 33.5 million.<\/p>\n

MTN said the largest increase was among prepaid subscribers, which climbed 552,000. It also recorded a substantial jump in 4G customers.<\/p>\n

The postpaid subscriber base closed at 7.6 million, with about 300,000 subscribers added in the quarter.<\/p>\n

MTN said this was aided by solid churn management, but there was some impact from store closures during July’s looting in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng.<\/p>\n
