Rapper Reason wants help on which network to use
Rapper Reason wants help on which network to use. But let’s backtrack a little – why does Reason want to switch providers in the first place? To understand this you need to have followed a story that has dominated news headlines for the last few years: Vodacom vs Nkosana Makate in the battle for the rights to the Please Call Me technology.
South African rapper, Reason, is doing something that most South Africans have done at least once in their lives: switching mobile networks. And best of all is he wants your help in doing it.
After winning a high court battle against Vodacom in 2016, Nkosana has been fighting for his due amount from the cellular network. He’s looking for billions of rands in compensation for a technology that Vodacom effectively stole. But they’re not paying him anything close to what he is demanding/owed.
Back to Reason – the rapper has been watching all of this keenly and has decided to take a stance. Notably, against the cellular networking giants:
. Im leaving @Vodacom for what they doing to @makate_nkosana.
Who is the best option to switch to?

The decision to leave was met with support from many South Africans who applauded the rapper for lending his voice to a key national issue.
I respect you for taking a stance …cause I know may cost you a gig or 2 .

Big to you… Might be the first popular culture figure to add their name to this campaign. @TelkomZA best packages @MTNza best coverage

As for which network he should choose, the floor was split between Cell C, Telkom Mobile and MTN — which is a headache in itself. As long as you can get free Twitter then we are confident you will have made the right choice.
