Telecel licence cancelled, workers in limbo

THE fate of more than 1 000 Telecel Zimbabwe employees now hangs in the balance after the Postal and Telecommunications Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (Potraz) cancelled the company’s licence.

Potraz on Wednesday cancelled the Telecel licence, giving subscribers 30 days to find alternative networks, while there has been no word on the fate of the workers.

Telecel has 60 days to appeal the revocation of its licence, and if this fails, they have to decommission their equipment within two months.
