Telecel still locked in talks over license

Troubled telecommunications firm Telecel Zimbabwe said it is still locked in "amicable" discussions with Government over reinstatement of its operating licence which was cancelled in May.

CE Angeline Vere, said the firm had recently paid its licence fee instalment, understood to be $5 million, to Potraz and was working on the next instalment due in December.

Vere, who was appointed chief executive last month, said the telecoms firm was committed to providing alternative and cheaper means of communication.
