Tanzania's High Court has
adjourned the case filed by the Tanzania Consumer Advocacy Society (TCAS) and
mobile operator against the TZS 1,000 Sim tax imposed by the government to 31
October. On 09 October, the court allowed mobile operators to join TCAS in a
petition lodged against the tax, the Daily News reported.
TCAS asked the court to
nullify the legislation passed by the parliament requiring every mobile user to
pay a TZS 1,000 monthly tax, claiming that the majority of phone users in the
country cannot afford the amount. According to the petition, the legislation
goes against the country's mother law and especially the right to information.
