South Africa’s Fibre U-Turn: Inside Vodacom’s R13.2-Billion Merger

I didn’t get offered a bribe, but I hold firm to the idea that Vodacom and Maziv are getting away with market murder in this deal.

In fact, I just wrapped an interview with Alan Knott-Craig in a township where he confirmed my belief that Vumatel halted its fibre build in the townships for about the same amount of time that it took for this deal to get over the line.

Update: the Competition Appeals Court approved the deal.
