Dr Charles Mekwunye is seeking an order of interlocutory injunction from the Court of Appeal restraining MTN, its agents or licenses from listing its shares pending the determination of his appeal.

He had dragged the South African-headquartered operator before the Federal High Court sitting in the commercial city of Lagos over the alleged breach of a contractual agreement by firms representing the company in a privately placed share units offer.

Joined in the suit a co-defendants were Lotus Capital Ltd, Stanbic IBTC Asset Management Ltd, IHS Holding Ltd and INT Towers Ltd.

Mekwunye had contended at the Federal High Court that after buying about 5 000 MTN Linked Units share through MTN's nominee, Stanbic IBTC Asset Management Ltd via a private placement memorandum, the firm failed to fulfil its obligation of converting the share units into MTN Nigeria shares.

He bought 5 000 units of the shares at the rate of US$122 800 in the then Naira equivalent of over N18, 376 million.

However, ruling on a preliminary objection raised by MTN on the competence of the suit, presiding judge, Justice Mojisola Olateru, asked parties in the suit to explored the arbitration clause embedded in the disputes contract.

Dissatisfied with the ruling of the lower court, Mekwunye through a motion on notice filed last month approached the Court of Appeal.

He challenges that until the suit or appeal is properly determined, MTN ought not be allowed to list is shares at the stock market.

No date for hearing has been fixed for the matter.

ICASA has released its latest tariff report, which shows that MTN’s data prices in South Africa are more expensive than most of the territories in which it operates. 2GB DATA for N200 and N1000 for 5GB For 9mobile users

The regulator’s tariff report is based on 160 tariff notifications which it received between 1 July 2017 and 31 December 2017.

As part of the report, ICASA benchmarked data prices for 500MB, 1GB, and 2GB bundles within the SADC and BRICS countries.

For MTN and Vodacom, which operate in multiple countries, the regulator also benchmarked South African prices against the prices in their other territories.

What the report shows

The report shows that MTN South Africa charges the highest price for a 500MB data bundle when compared to the other countries in which it operates.

“This is concerning, since 500MB is the preferred data bundle by low-income earners,” said ICASA.

MTN SA charges the third highest price for a 1GB data bundle, and the second highest price in the 2GB data bundle category.

MTN responds

MTN South Africa said it is aware of ICASA’s latest tariff report and the findings within it.

“MTN has not yet engaged with ICASA on the contents of the report and welcomes the opportunity to discuss each of the territories mentioned, and the criteria by which they were selected, with the regulator,” it said.

It added that pricing in each of MTN’s territories outside of South Africa is determined by cost factors and production functions associated with establishing and operating a network in these regions.

“Differences in data tariffs are also unique to each region and subject to varying network operation cost factors, such as electricity usage, legal and licensing fees, spectrum fees, and network infrastructure deployment,” said MTN SA.

“Providing a product offering that is best suited to our customers remains a core priority for MTN, ensuring that the best value and deals are provided across the continent.”

It is because of this that MTN is in the process of reviewing its product offering and pricing transformation to create a more suitable product portfolio for customers. 3 graphs which show how expensive MTN’s data is
