Press Release: Econet and Land Administration Authority (LAA) partner to offer convenience in payments through EcoCash
Econet and LAA entered into a partnership that allows customers to pay for LAA’s Ground rent from the comfort of their homes through EcoCash, also known as, Spache-fono.
Through this partnership, active EcoCash subscribers can pay their Ground rent through Econet’s *100# platform.
Econet’s General Manager; Econet Services, Mr Motebang Moeketsi, stated that as a telecommunications company, their mandate is to come up with solutions that best serve their customers. “If we cannot provide the service ourselves, we build partnerships with those who can” said Moeketsi
“LAA has a well-established track record across the country, providing land owners with lease documents to ensure the eradication of multi ownership to single land and fraudulent activities” added Moeketsi
“Giving customers’ access to the system that enables them to pay Ground rent from the tips of their fingers will minimize the accrual of annual penalty charges” said Moeketsi
