Vodacom to discontinue M-Pesa in South Africa
2016-05-09 10:28:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Vodacom South Africa has announced it will discontinue its M-Pesa product with effect from 30 June following a thorough review. CEO Shameel Joosub said Vodacom's decision is based on the fact that the business sustainability of M-Pesa is predicated on achieving a critical mass of users. According to Joosub, based on their revised projections and high levels of financial inclusion in South Africa, there is little prospect of the M-Pesa product achieving this in its current format in the mid-term.
