Vodafone has finalised the sale of its majority shares to Telecel Group (70%), with the Ghanaian Government holding 30% of the shares. This week, they have announced the rebranding of Vodafone Ghana to Telecel, where they had the rights to the Vodafone Ghana name up to February 2024.  Margherita Della Valle, Chief Executive of Vodafone, said: “The sale of Vodafone Ghana to Telecel Group is a further step in simplifying Vodafone’s African portfolio. Since entering the market in 2008, Vodafone has helped to develop Ghana’s critical network infrastructure supporting customers, businesses and communities.” The Vodacom Group (The subsidiary that manages Vodafone's African Portfolio), also takes a step back from other countries including Egypt and Kenya.  Vodafone Ghana were not able to compete effectively with MTN, which has the largest marketshare of telecommunications in Ghana and arguably across Africa. MTN own over two-thirds of the market share (66%) in Ghana, whilst Vodafone owned less than one-third (17%).  Vodafone made a significant contribution to the African market by launching M-Pesa in 2007, Africa's most successful mobile money service, providing access to financial services for millions of people Let us know your thoughts!

It’s clear for sure that Mobile Money has increased in usage despite the E-levy.Bank of Ghana suspends money transfers for Top Remittance and Fintech apps: The Bank of Ghana have suddenly blocked the activity of many African based and international Fintech and Remittance apps, including Lem-fi, Xoom by PayPal, Boss Revolution, Wise and many others, in mid-november, because they did not have approval from the Bank of Ghana.

In this snippet of our interview with Alicia Richardson, she explains to Adrian what Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is all about, along with the challenges it brings. She also makes a strong business case why all companies needs to consider DEI as part of their internal employee strategies.  Listen to the full episode here or watch on YouTube here Notable quotes: "A lot of companies use the word culture fit a lot of the times when they're advertising for jobs or when they're looking for people. And the change should be culture ads. And that's the inclusion piece. That's the inclusion mentality. That actually you're different, but you can add something different." "The problem is with DEI as a consultant that I've identified, is that companies say they want to do it and they want to apply DEI, but a lot of them don't know how."
