“In this instance, Vodacom asserts that ICASA must either prohibit the transaction, alternatively afford Cell C an opportunity to remedy the situation, after which further public hearings must be held to reconsider the transaction.”In a statement, MTN says the proposed transaction will result in TPC obtaining control over the Cell C licences, which requires ICASA approval.
