THE Durban Anti Cell Mast Alliance has urged residents affected by MTN cell masts in the Durban area to continue objecting to MTN’s application to legitimise these masts.
According to the Alliance’s spokesperson, Niki Moore, she has been reliably informed that several applications for legitimising the MTN masts had been withdrawn as a result of public objections.
“The main reason has been that the masts were not compliant to begin with, which renders the retrospective application null and void,” she said.

Moore urged anyone with an illegal MTN mast in their vicinity to lodge an objection. She said an objection template will be posted on the Durban Anti-Cell Mast Alliance’s Facebook page.
Residents have until 29 May to lodge objections.
