MTN South Sudan Responds to Allegations of Robbery and Warns Nimule Staff

A few days ago, I accused MTN South Sudan of robbing me through one of its staff members in Nimule. After I raised the complaint on my media platform, the headquarters intervened by conducting an investigation into the Nimule branch and taking disciplinary action against the staff member involved. I am pleased to have been part of the investigation process, which demonstrated a commitment to transparency.

I would like to appreciate MTN South Sudan for taking my complaint seriously. Many citizens have experienced similar situations at the hands of some staff members, yet their concerns often go unheard. Having investigated the matter and warned the responsible staff, we hope that the illegal practice of overcharging customers for SIM cards will come to an end. As a result, SIM card prices should become more affordable and consistent across the country.

I would also like to recommend the introduction of fixed and publicly advertised SIM card prices to prevent the deliberate exploitation of customers. It is the responsibility of MTN South Sudan and other telecommunications operators to align their business practices with the economic realities of the people they serve. Where necessary, the National Communication Authority (NCA) should take appropriate measures to protect consumers from unfair practices.

Furthermore, I recommend comprehensive customer education campaigns throughout the country. Such initiatives would help inform customers about network policies, official service charges, and the services available to them. It has become evident that a lack of customer awareness allows some staff members at the grassroots level to manipulate services and impose exorbitant charges. If MTN seeks to maintain its reputation as a quality service provider and uphold communication as a fundamental right, it must continuously evaluate and improve its service delivery mechanisms.

Finally, I would like to commend MTN South Sudan headquarters for their prompt response to the concerns of ordinary citizens. Accepting criticism is a sign of institutional maturity and a commitment to improvement. Although my criticism may have sounded harsh and accusatory, the experience was serious enough to warrant public attention. I thank MTN South Sudan for listening, and I look forward to seeing meaningful changes not only in Nimule but across the country as a whole.

Until then, we shall continue to monitor the situation.

MAGWI COUNTY UNDER CATTLE ATTACKS AGAIN.

    File Image July 11, 2025. To the Commissioner,  Magwi County Magwi County Maize Crops under Cattle Attack Again I am writing to inform you that Magwi County is once again facing an attack by cattle driven by the Dinka Balalo of Uganda. This is a direct result of an evacuation in response to the President's executive order aimed at stopping cattle-related conflicts in the Acholi region of Northern Uganda. As you may recall, the last conflict in Magwi County, which occurred in February, claimed lives and was not an isolated incident. Similar conflicts have recurred since 2014, when the Dinka Balalo from Bor forcefully entered Magwi County and the Equatoria region. Hon, you and the Magwi County community need to be aware of the potential resettlement of cattle in our lands. Our county's livelihood depends on its fertile soil, whereas the Dinka Balalo's survival relies on milk production. I urge you and your security team to remain vigilant and prevent any cattle ...

ESTABLISH A SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT DINKA KINGDOM WITHIN THEIR TERRITORIES.” Advocate Kenyi Advises President Kiir

Advocate & human rights lawyer Kenyi YA Kenyi said that Salva Kiir has long abandoned the national interest of South Sudan and instead chosen to pursue a narrow and divisive tribal agenda. From the time he was appointed deputy—based on tribal considerations—during the liberation struggle to all his subsequent roles within the regime, Kiir has consistently implemented policies that prioritize the interests of one ethnic group: the Jieng (Dinka), at the direct expense of the other 63 tribes of South Sudan.   Through his actions and appointments, he has systematically planted the seeds of division, ethnic discord, and mistrust among our people. Under his leadership, South Sudan—a sovereign nation built by the collective sacrifice of 64 tribes—has been reduced to what increasingly appears to be an absolute Jieng Kingdom, with Salva Kiir acting as its self-declared King.   If Kiir remains committed to advancing his tribal project, then we are left with no option but to gran...

IN HIS FOOTSTEPS: The Characters of A Leader's Heart

Meta AI "This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work." 1 Timothy 3:1-7 Devotion 10. July 10, 2025 God's Design for Leadership   God alone is omniscient and sovereign. He designed leadership with specific character traits, appointing humanity to steward the world on His behalf. As we progress through Scripture, we observe God's design for leadership and the character traits required of each individual.   For example, He denied Saul leadership despite the pressure from the people. He chose David from among Jesse's children because David met His criteria, possessing the character and qualities worthy of leadership. In leadership, there are specific characteristics that leaders must embody to lead God's people. Paul listed these qualities in his letter to Timothy, emphasizing integrity, humility, and servanthood as essential for leading the church of God.   The Contrast Between God's Design and the Worl...
