MTN Zambia Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Freddie Mokoena, says his Company has no intention of laying off any workers following the global economic meltdown.
Mr. Mokoena said the company was doing its best to ensure that it maintains its credibility and retains all its workers who have contributed greatly to the development of the Country.
He said despite the company being affected by the economic meltdown, normal operations would continue and that the Company is developing new ideas to maintain its workers.
Mr. Mokoena told ZANIS in an interview during the Launch of the Talk-4-Mahala tarriff at Sherbourne Guest House in Kitwe yesterday. He mentioned that MTN is grateful to its customers who continue to use the network despite the economic hardships that Zambia is currently facing.
He said over 1 million MTN customers have continued to use the network from the initial 48,000 recorded when the company was launched in 2004. Mr. Mokoena said that the MTN network is affordable and caters for each and every person despite their status in society.
Mr. Mokoena also said that the newly launched Talk-4-Mahala tariff will run up to the end of June to enable customers talk freely for 15 minutes after being charged for the first 90 seconds.
He further said that this will not only attract more customers to use the MTN network but will also help them save on costs by paying less for talktime that could last a life time.

There is no free lunch in the corporate world. There is a catch somewhere! Anyways welcome move.
It’s called Marketing strategy, you know?
We dont things for mahala. What we want is good services chapwa.
This service proider is unparalleled…They network was never jammed like the others when i used it in Zed. Keep it up..i also know that there is a catch somewhere
This is for real a good gesture but why shud it only run up2 30th June? I have benefited frm the talk4Mahala n its worth it. But why shud it run as a promotion in this global economic meltdown?
MTN has enough capacity on their nertwork to handle this. When I worked in the Caribbean islands, my company had such a promotion, a better one infact. You talk for 3 minutes and have the next 57 minutes free. But It had to be one continous call. This was the only catch…
Good business strategy. Its survival of the fittest.
Who is Mokoena lying to,we all know there is nothing for mahala in this world,he wants people to be hooked to his network,he knows many will be attracted,the catch will always be,first pay for those 90 seconds or whatever so that you get the rest,he should not even put a time line,it must go on forever
This 13 Minutes free sounds too good to be true, i wonder how much the 90 seconds cost but i will try it out
Imwe, just enjoy it while it lasts.
I tried it and it works, Just go ahead and enjoy, Wonder how celtel will countaract this one.
Yes we know there is nothing for free, but this one is. It works and almost free. So why not enjoy it while it lasts.
