Vodacom Lesotho (VCL) subscribers will recall of a service outage that occurred on the 16th June, 2023 over a period of four hours. This outage translated into a non-compliance with the Lesotho Communications Authority's Quality of Service Rules No.41 of 2023 which prescribe that the network resources should be available to customers 99.99% of the time for any measured period.

The Authority notes the reasons for the outage as advanced by VCL and the remedial steps taken to mitigate the recurrence of similar incidents. The Authority also appreciates that VCL customers were compensated for the inconvenience caused by the unavailability of services.

However, it would be absurd and not in the interest of the consumers if VCL would be absolved of liability of a network outage of this magnitude.

The Authority has therefore imposed a fine M1,000,000.00 for the contravention of rule 6(a)(i) of the LCA Quality of Service Rules of 2023. This fine is suspended wholly for a period of 12 months on condition that VCL does not commit a similar contravention.

With an experience of more than thirty years in the sector at both strategic and operational levels, we are pleased to introduce our new CEO, Mr Nizam Goolam and wish him the best in his new assignment.

Please note....
