It has been confirmed that the Hawks will be launching a formal investigation into allegations of corruption against MTN.

The DA’s shadow minister of defence David Maynier said if the allegations are true, they suggest that MTN may have been involved in corrupt activity in trying to secure a mobile operating license in Iran.

Maynier said these allegations cannot be investigated by an independent committee within the MTN group.

He said it is for that reason on the 30th of March this year, he wrote to the Hawks requesting an investigation into allegations of corruption relating to the MTN group’s securing a mobile license in Iran.
