MTN South Africa plans to begin delivering 5G fixed-wireless Sim cards to its customers using grocery-style delivery bikes.

Dubbed Shesha@5G, the pilot phase of the project will initially serve “selected areas” in Johannesburg, and MTN has promised delivery within two hours of order.

“This is another ambition to bring seamless 5G home connectivity to customers,” said Tania Ladopoulou, GM for online and telesales at MTN South Africa. “No more waiting 24-48 hours for delivery and no more standing in queues.”

MTN said customers can place an orders through its digital platforms. A scooter will then deliver their Shesh@5G Sim card or home connectivity package to their location. A self-Rica process is available on the MTN app.

“Once activated, customers are online and connected within minutes,” said MTN.

MTN South Africa CEO Charles Molapisi last week told TechCentral that the roll-out of the Shesha@5G service will begin in 10 neighbourhoods – including Midrand, Edenvale and Fourways – using around 10 MTN-branded motorbikes.

Molapisi said customers can also use the service to order an MTN router should they need one and described the service as the “Uber of connectivity”.

“There is no reason a customer who wants to a buy 5G fixed-wireless router needs to drive to a store and wait 24 hours for delivery and activation,” he said.

Kudos to MTN South Africa for this impressive innovation! 🚀 The Shesha@5G initiative is a game-changer—fast, convenient, and truly customer-centric. Bringing 5G connectivity to doorsteps within two hours via delivery bikes is the kind of bold move that defines the future of telecom.

Any plans to bring this initiative to Nigeria soon?

In nigeria this type of service is not possible as many people have fake addresses

Why are they still using these big jewel cases for their SIM cards?

Nigeria their biggest market should consider first for this project

Okay

Nice one

I'm tired. I want to end it all. This suffering is too much for me. My baby has not eaten since morning. I don't have money to buy her cereal. What more do I have to live for? I can't do this anymore. Please help me if you can. 81 49 476 831 palmpay Mary Bassey

Nope. Doesn't work that way . Mtn Nigeria is managed by Nigerians and Nigerians need to get creative in how they serve and care for their own people .

Ask the Nigerian management of MTN. This is the SA branch managed by SA and it must reflect that.....top notch services to their own people. Nigerians must improve

Nope. You're not robbed. Mtn Nigeria and multichoice are managed by Nigerians and the type of management a leader employs significantly impacts the outcomes and results achieved by their team or organization

Nigerians should start caring more about quality services to their own .
