South Africa’s Vodacom Group is seeking to acquire part of the government’s stake in Safaricom in a deal that could see the Johannesburg-based firm take majority control of the Kenyan tele-coms operator.

Vodacom Group has informed investors that it will bid for an extra Safaricom share as the State seeks to reduce its stake in a privatisation plan.
