Vodacom is known for seeking strategic acquisition opportunities to drive investments.  In 2000, they acquired a 40% stake in Safaricom which has proven profitable over the years. The acquisition of IoT.nxt stake is a move to boost their IoT business units to operate full IoT value chain across a number of outfits.

Shameel Joosub, CEO of Vodacom said that the investment will allow them effectively distribute the information obtained from sensors and to scale their IoT businesses.

Talent10 is still a major shareholder in IoT.ntx. Vodacom has appointed William Mzimba, the Business Chief Officer to lead IoT.nxt’s management team.
