MTNTVC E, BUSINESS – South African telecom giant MTN’s headline earnings last year dropped by 51 percent.

The Chief executive office, Phuthuma Nhleko says the loss was as a result of the $600 million it put aside to cover a huge fine imposed by Nigeria.

MTN’s Nigeria operation was slammed with a $3.9 billion penalty in October last years for failure to disconnect 5.1 million unregistered SIM cards.
