This second move comes after the mobile operator delayed some repayments on its airtime-backed facility

Cell C's financial woes have weighed on major shareholder Blue Label. Picture: Thapelo Morebudi

The network operator, which had cash on hand of about R500m at last count, was in a precarious position as it had to settle the airtime-backed facility due in July, along with hefty repayments on bank funding, bonds and a handset-financing facility due in 2020.
