This follows reports that the NCA has blocked the transfer of 70 per cent majority shares of Vodafone International Holdings B.V. to the Telecel Group.
According to the NCA, the process was only evaluated based on which it was concluded that the Group did not meet “the regulatory threshold for approval to be granted”.
A statement issued by the NCA, Tuesday, 2 August 2022, said: “In accordance with due process, the Authority evaluated the application on various criteria and engaged Vodafone and Telecel Group.”
It indicated that: “After a critical regulatory review and evaluation, the NCA concluded that the request did not meet the regulatory threshold for approval to be granted.”
