MTN South Africa plans to offer 4G smartphones that cost from 99 rands ($5.4) to 1.2 million of its prepaid customers as part of work to shift the country from older 2G and 3G technologies.

The initiative will be executed in three phases commencing in May 2025 until the end of 2026, MTN said in a statement on Monday. One of the conditions for receiving the device is that it can only be used with an MTN Sim card.

“In phase 1, over 5000 carefully selected customers will be offered 4G smartphones. The selection will be based on usage profiles, spending patterns and tenure, and will mainly be in Gauteng province (around Johannesburg and Pretoria),” the company said.

“In phase 2, more than 130 000 customers nationally will be offered the devices. In the third phase, more than 1.1 million MTN customers across the country will benefit.”

The devices will come pre-loaded with a variety of applications. MTN didn’t say if WhatsApp — the de facto messaging app owned by Meta Platforms and used by millions of South Africans daily — was among them.

MTN South Africa CEO Charles Molapisi said: “Regardless of where they live, we want to ensure that all South Africans can access the digital world.”

MTN has partnered with Smartphone For All, founded by Babatunde Osho, a former CEO of Metrofile Nigeria who also served as chief enterprise solutions executive at MTN Nigeria. Osho holds an MBA from Imperial College Management School and an MSc from the London School of Economics and Political Science. He has also completed executive programmes at Wharton Business School, Oxford Said Business School and IMD Business School.

DRIVING DOWN COSTS

The company told TechCentral that the low-cost 4G devices won’t be limited to one model — a variety of smartphones will be offered through the initiative.

For phase 1, MTN is distributing a 5.5-inch model from Itel, though it hasn’t provided the exact device details.

The move by MTN comes six months after rival Vodacom South Africa announced it was introducing a 4G “smartphone” for R249 ($13).

The Mobicel S4-branded phone, which Vodacom described as a “cloud-based handset”, was introduced to “reduce the cost of smartphone access in the country” and to migrate more of the operator’s customers to 4G.

“The cloud phone will help customers still anchored to 2G phones and not familiar with the touch-screen experience, allowing them to appreciate a smooth transition to the data and application world,” said Davide Tacchino, managing executive for terminals at Vodacom South Africa in a statement at the time.

South Africa’s mobile operators are under pressure to migrate legacy 2G and 3G users to more modern technology so the spectrum can be freed up for more advanced technologies, including 4G and 5G.

Vodacom last year cited a 2022 Vodafone-funded report by the Broadband Commission for Sustainable Development in 2022, which argued that lowering the cost of devices was key to increasing access to smartphones.

“The Alliance for Affordable Internet estimates that a smartphone priced at US$62 could cost almost 63% of the average monthly income across Africa. The Broadband Commission’s report recommended that so-called thin-client phones – like the new cloud-based phone which Vodacom has delivered – should be explored. The new cloud-based phone leverages the power of cloud computing to deliver a range of features typically associated with entry smartphones at a more affordable cost.”

The internet woke up to shocking news as a leaked tape allegedly involving the daughter of a prominent pastor in Kenya began trending across social media platforms. The video, which has since gone viral, shows the young woman in compromising positions, sparking a flurry of online discussions and debates.

Sources suggest that the tape was leaked by a bitter ex-lover who, upon hearing that she was preparing to marry a more responsible man, decided to exact revenge. Some social media users have expressed disbelief, recalling the young woman's image as a devout, responsible individual, frequently seen giving sermons on the pulpit and preaching in her father’s church.

Critics have been quick to label her as a “sheep in wolf’s clothing,” accusing her of hypocrisy for preaching religious values while allegedly engaging in such behavior. Some have gone further, questioning how her privacy was allowed to be violated in the first place.

he said.

Suspended Rivers state governor, Siminalayi Fubara, has cautioned his supporters over their confrontational approach in demanding his reinstatement, stating that not everything should be done with “Oshobe”, a local term implying force or aggression.

Speaking during a service of songs held in Port Harcourt in honour of late elder statesman Edwin Clark, Fubara said while he appreciated their support, some of their actions had worsened his situation rather than helped.

He emphasised his preference for a more measured and peaceful strategy, stating that he was not desperate to return to office.

Fubara was responding to remarks by several speakers at the event, including Apostle Zilly Aggrey, who criticised his suspension and called for his immediate reinstatement.

The suspended governor distanced himself from their remarks, describing them as personal opinions insisting that there statements would not likely promote peace .

Fubara said: “Can’t you see how much better I look? Do you really think I’m interested in going back there? My spirit has already left that place. Not everything is by oshobe. Do you even know if I want to go back there? My spirit has already left there”.

BafanaBafana:
From my experience, if you stay alone, eating out is cheaper. If you doubt it, calculate the actual cost of preparing a meal, check how many times you will eat that meal and then compare how much it will cost you to buy that number of plates of the same quality of meal outside.

Further more, consider the time and labor cost.
You go to the market to buy food stuff
Prepare to cook
Do the cooking.
Be cleaning while cooking.
Go out to a nearby shop to buy something you forgot to buy in the market.
Finish cooking.
Wash the dishes after eating.

All these after buying food stuff with your money o
Meanwhile if you go to a restaurant, all you do is eat and leave.

So gents, eating out is way cheaper.
