Vodacom Group Ltd. (VOD), South Africa’s largest wireless operator, plans to begin operating in three additional countries by the end of 2014 as it seeks to bring data services and smartphones to new markets.
The company will look to enter the countries by acquiring local operators, Chief Executive Officer Shameel Joosub said in an interview after a full-year earnings presentation. He declined to identify the target nations.
“We’ve cracked the African model,” Joosub said at the company’s Johannesburg headquarters. “Our formula is working. We’re a lot more confident today in terms of accessing new markets and pursuing those opportunities.”
Vodacom is expanding its data services in Africa to take advantage of increasing demand for smartphones. The company has operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, Mozambique and Lesotho as well as South Africa. Revenue grew 11 percent in international markets in the year through March, compared with 2.9 percent in South Africa, the company said today.
