MTN Business has announced a strategic partnership with the South African National Taxi Council (SANTACO) Gauteng Region.
Through the partnership, Santaco becomes an official reseller of MTN’s suite of business solutions, including mobile data, ICT services, and enterprise connectivity tools.
This will enable taxi operators and their networks to diversify their income, offer new services to their customers, and strengthen their role as economic actors in their communities.
“Santaco is not only a transportation powerhouse, but it also represents community enterprise and resilience at scale. By collaborating with Santaco, we are helping unlock digital and economic participation where it matters most,” says Charles Molapisi, CEO of MTN South Africa.
“We are not just selling connectivity; we are activating new value chains, enabling township economies to thrive in the digital age, and contributing to the inclusive goals of the National Development Plan 2030,” said Molapisi.
Midday Mali, chairperson of Santaco Gauteng, adds: “This partnership marks a new chapter for the taxi industry, one where digital tools and connectivity can help uplift our operators and communities,” said. “We are proud to join forces with MTN Business to bring real economic opportunities to our members and ensure that the transport sector continues to play a vital role in South Africa’s development.”
