MTN has reduced the cost of data in South Africa as 10 GB (including another 10GB for use at certain times of the night) sells for R149.

It was gathered that the new MTN BozzaGigs LTE tariff plan also offers 10GB (5GB plus 5GB night-time data) for R99. 

The developments comes a week after Vodacom cut headline prepaid data prices, with 1GB of data falling to R85 from R99 (approx. N2,847.50k) previously.

While the new MTN deals have a validity period of of 30 days, Prepaid customers will have to move to the BozzaGigs LTE plan before they can take advantage of the prices.

In addition to the 10GB and 20GB plans, MTN is also offering a 15GB (7.5GB plus 7.5GB) plan for R129, also with 30-day validity from purchase.
