The country’s Minister of Communications, Yamfwa Mukanga said that there will be no extention to the deadline saying that the process had started 18 months ago, and that the telecommunication operators had stopped selling unregistered SIM cards to new customers last month.
About 4.4 million SIM Cards had been registered by August, which is the most recent data available.
