Speaking during the relaunch of the last mile sim card verification in Lusaka today, Mr. Chisala called on all subscribers to visit their network providers and verify their sim card registration status before 31st October to avoid being disconnected.
And Speaking at the same event, Airtel Zambia Managing Director Peter Correia disclosed that 90, 000 of the 4. 7 million Airtel subscribers are not registered.
And Speaking earlier, MTZ Zambia Chief Executive Officer Charles Molapisi says all its 5.4 million subscribers are registered, with only some particulars on their National Registration Cards being incorrect.
