“This is a significant milestone for Vodacom as it will accelerate our financial services aspirations in Africa," says Vodacom Group CEO Shameel Joosub. "Our joint venture will allow Vodacom and Safaricom to drive the next generation of the M-PESA platform – an intelligent, cloud-based platform for the smartphone age.
