“In each of the five Vodacom Business Africa markets, the respective partners will acquire all of the operations and assets held by Vodacom,” the company said in a statement. Vodacom said it has sold its businesses in Nigeria, Zambia and Ivory Coast to Synergy Communications and its Ghana business sold to Vodafone Ghana. “The transactions support Vodacom Group’s enterprise strategy in Africa, which has been refocused to grow and strengthen its core business,” the company said. Joosub said to support the sustainable growth of pan African digital economies and building connected societies, Vodacom will, via local service providers, continue to service clients in each market. Synergy Communications and ITA were selected as the successful bidders, amongst other reasons, for their wealth of pan African experience.
