Prosecutors accused the staff at Vodacom Tanzania of organising a “criminal racket”, according to documents filed to a court in Dar es Salaam. Vodacom Tanzania declined to comment. Hendi could not immediately be reached for comment. The charges come two years after Johannesburg-based Vodacom listed its Tanzanian unit on the local stock exchange following pressure from the government to increase domestic ownership.
Vodacom rival MTN Group, Africa’s biggest carrier by sales, is also no stranger to sanctions by governments and regulators around the continent.
