Telkom mobile data revenue skyrocketed to 54% ahead of its 2021 financial year due to an 81% increase in mobile traffic.
Mobile subscribers went up 19% to 13.7 million with an addition of 2.2million subscribers, making Telkom a fast-growing mobile corporation in South Africa.
Their margin widened by 13.2% to 29.9% making a relative cost-to-revenue ratio from 53% in the prior period to 38% doubling its wages before interest, tax, devaluation, and defrayment to R2.9-billion.
The strong growth in mobile traffic was due to the Covid-19 lockdown in cooperation to customers working from home, and the transition to online learning.
CEO Sipho Maseko made a comment that “Telkom mobile performed profoundly, regardless of the negative impact of the national lockdown on parts of our business.”
