fifty countries. We look forward to exploring the potential for further Partner Market agreements in sub-Saharan Africa with Afrimax, under our framework cooperation agreement.”

Afrimax management Peter Langkilde, CEO and Rob Philpott, CFO commented: “We are excited about the partnership with Vodafone and the opportunity to work with a brand that is not only passionate about technology, but passionate about people and the impact that technology can have on peoples’ lives. The partnership with

Vodafone solidifies our ongoing plans to be a leading provider of high speed network services in sub-Saharan Africa.”
