Jacqui O’Sullivan, executive for Corporate Affairs at MTN SA, said: “We want to make sure our customers consistently feel the added value we bring to them, in addition to our world class network. Through this promotion, we want to help spread the holiday cheer, by rewarding customers with a free TV when they sign up for one of these highly sought-after devices.”

MTN SA CEO Godfrey Motsa recently said the network would cut data costs to 29c per megabyte for its "accidental users" who typically use less than 5MB per month, and those who use more can now expect to pay 60c out-of-bundle. 

O'Sullivan said customers would be able to purchase 1GB data bundles through the network’s cellphone app for R50 which will be valid for a week, as the company moves towards lower data costs.
