South Africa’s competition regulator has rejected Vodacom’s acquisition of Maziv, a holding company that owns Dark Fibre Africa, the country’s second-largest fibre network operator.
The competition commission of South Africa has recommended against Vodacom’s acquisition of Maziv, a holding company whose assets include fibre network operators Dark Fibre Africa and Vumatel.
The commission stated that the public interest commitments provided by the merger parties did not outweigh the competition concerns.
