MTN and BICS to combine their international carrier services                    
Shareholders are advised that MTN announced today the extension of its          
relationship with Belgacom International Carrier Services ("BICS") by           
combining MTN ICS, its international carrier services business which generated  
revenues of Euro 223,2 million in the year ended 31 December 2008, with the     
business of BICS. Pursuant to the combination of the two businesses, MTN will   
hold an equity interest of 20% in the enlarged BICS and appoint two directors   
to the board. The combination is expected to improve the quality of the         
international traffic carrier service offerings of MTN operations whilst        
realising meaningful cost benefits.                                             
The transaction is subject to certain conditions precedent including, to        
the extent required, the approval of the relevant regulatory authorities.
