Zellco, Netone dispute rages on

NetOne has reinstated its initial statement cancelling its service contract with agent ZellCo Cellular over a payment dispute, but will still maintain its ban on bill payments through the agent.

NetOne has made the move after ZellCo sought a provisional order seeking the nullification of NetOne's decision of 11 April.

The judge ordered NetOne to not only retract its earlier statement cancelling the agreement, but to also restore ZellCo's rights to bill NetOne customers in terms of the agreement.

ZellCo is now seeking to file an application for contempt of the court by NetOne. NetOne issued a statement early this month to subscribers on ZellCo's books that it had cancelled its service contract with ZellCo advising subscribers on its network to stop payments through the agent.
