Easy mathematics here:

when you add a negative number to another negative number, the result is a number that is more negative than the original two numbers!

Same goes for bad ideas - two bad ideas mixed together will produce a idea that is worse than the original two.

Wait and see...

Waiting to load more safaricom shares when it goes ex dividend in september.


The Helios guys are Venture capitalists...they were never in Telkom to grow it to compete with Safaricom.
Which unfortunately doesn't work in the telco space in Africa.

After this merger GoK will lose more shareholding even after GoK lost shareholding with the Orange-Telkom merger.

They retain control of the infrastructure assets like the fiber network.

The merger between Airtel Kenya and Telkom Kenya has run into headwinds after a group of former employees asked the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) to block it.

With less than a week to go, 52 ex-workers of Airtel Kenya have written to the regulator asking it to stop the consolidation process until their grievances are settled.
The former workers have a pending case in court in which they are demanding Sh1 billion from Airtel for unfair termination.

Is n't better to buy now? once the book closure date is announced, the price will go up, then sell just before that date, and buy again after the slight drop that comes after or just keep the dividends

Negative plus negative number equals bigger negative.
Safaricom will entrench itself further as a monopoly

The negative in Airtel is a lie. Ask those who have worked there how they do it. Negative iko Telkom tu.
