THE MTN Group will co-operate fully in the Hawks' investigation relating to a mobile phone licence in Iran, an official said
"As we have previously noted, MTN has a zero-tolerance for corrupt or unethical practices," spokesman Xolisa Vapi said in a statement.
He said MTN's board of directors had appointed the Hoffmann Committee to conduct an independent investigation into the allegations made by Turkish operator Turkcell.
Turkcell filed a R35.5-billion civil claim in March in which it accused MTN of bribing Iranians and South Africans to get the licence, which was originally awarded to Turkcell.
