👨🏿🚀TechCabal Daily – Shoprite, pay right

Acquisitions

â–¤ Summary

TechCabal Daily covers several business and tech developments across Africa. MTN Nigeria added millions of subscribers, but revenue per customer fell as pricing gains faded and data became its main growth lever. WIOCC raised $300 million to expand its data centres, fibre network, and subsea cable assets. Shoprite acquired a majority stake in R&A Cellular to deepen its payments and point-of-sale capabilities in South Africa’s informal retail market. Kenya also linked eTIMS to IFMIS, making tax invoice validation part of the government payment process.
