TTCL Tanzania Internet Bundles 2021: Pesa, Menu And More
The Tanzania Telecommunications Company LTD (TTCL) was founded in 1994. It is currently one of the largest telecommunication companies in Tanzania pegged on providing top quality and affordable services. The company offers a range of services to not only its consumers but also businesses, other licensed telecom operators, and the government of Tanzania.
TTCL Tanzania came to the forefront barely two decades ago but now boasts an extensive following. Its rise began with the changing times, such as better technological infrastructure as well as some internal factors. Much of TTCL’s growth can be accredited to its predecessor, the Tanzania Telecommunications Corporation, which was dissolved in 1994. Separating the postal bank and postal services from the telecommunication company has enabled the latter to focus solely on its growth.
Despite operating in Tanzania, this telecommunications company has its headquarters in Thailand. There is another company headquarters in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania as well. All operations are run through the capable management and operations team in Tanzania.
Insights On The TTCL Tanzania Organization Structure
With funding from the World Bank Group, TTCL has the resources to operate as a national telecommunications company. The organization is entirely state-owned and run by popular CEO, Waziri Kibanda. TTCL management team also includes a chief financial officer (Alinanuswe Mwakitalima), a chief marketing and sales officer (Peter Ngota), and a company secretary (Lugano Rwetaka). Not much is known about the junior-level TTCL management team.

TTLC has the reputation of uniting people, especially from rural areas. The telecommunications powerhouse is also famed in the six Tanzanian cities.

The TTCL logo even has the words “huleta watu karibu/brings people closer” on it, which is the company’s mantra.
