File photo: Nadine HuttonJohannesburg - Rene Meza, managing director of Vodacom Group Ltd.'s Tanzanian unit, has resigned to pursue other opportunities.
Meza, who joined Vodacom Tanzania in 2011, will leave the wireless carrier in September, the Johannesburg-based company said in a statement Monday. He previously worked for Bharti Airtel Ltd. in Kenya and for Millicom International Cellular SA.
"During his time with Vodacom, he doubled the network to 3,200 sites, increased the number of customers to over 12 million and led Tanzania to have the second biggest M-Pesa customer base in the Vodacom Group," Vodacom said in the statement. M-Pesa is a mobile banking service.
Tanzanian carriers are developing more sophisticated mobile banking products, such as interest-baring accounts and loans, to boost sales as well as seeking more spectrum to improve their networks.

[h=2]VODACOM TANZANIA MD RENE MEZA RESIGNS OVER $350 MILLION SCANDAL[/h]Posted on May 7, 2015

• Tenders resignation letter this morning

• Feared he may flee the country to avoid prosecution

• Sources reveal how Vodacom Tanzania MD met more than 10 times with Tanil Somaiya, Rostam Aziz to negotiate $5 million kickback

• Vodacom corporate affairs chief issues cover-up statement that back-fires

DAR ES SALAAM


VODACOM Tanzania's Managing Director, Rene Meza, has resigned over the $350 million (over 675 billion shillings) scandal involving the sale of pirate mobile phone vouchers to Tanzanians.
Sources inside Vodacom South Africa headquarters in Johannesburg and Vodacom Tanzania in Dar es Salaam confirmed that Meza tendered his resignation earlier today.
"I can confirm that Mr. Rene Meza resigned as Vodacom Tanzania MD effectively from this morning," an official close to the mobile phone company confirmed.
"Vodacom executives are currently holding crisis meetings to issue a public statement on Meza's exit."
Insiders say Meza has been under fire from the company's top executives for his role in the scandal where he is known to have received a $5 million bribe from the owner of Shivacom Group, Tanil Somaiya, to keep quiet about the fraud.
It has now been revealed that Meza secretly met at least 10 times with Somaiya and Rostam Aziz, a Vodacom Tanzania shareholder, to negotiate the bribe.
"It is feared that Mr Meza could flee the country after his resignation to avoid criminal prosecution over the matter," said another insider.
"Rostam and Tanil would also favour Meza's exit from the country because they can use him as a scapegoat and thwart any criminal investigation against them."


VODACOM'S COVER-UP ATTEMPT BACK-FIRES


As noted by a section of the Tanzanian media, Vodacom Tanzania issued a carefully-worded statement on 30 April 2015 denying the scandal.
However, the statement signed by Vodacom Tanzania's chief corporate affairs officer, Georgia Mutagahya, has spectacularly back-fired after the company unsuccessfully tried to play down the massive scandal.
In her statement, Ms. Mutagahya claimed the allegations of fraud and bribery against the company were "grossly inflated."
She also claimed that there was neither fraud nor a "multi-million dollar loss" suffered as a result of the scandal.
However, a Vodacom Tanzania letter dated 11 July 2012 to Shivacom Group terminating the contract (see below) clearly states that there was massive fraud in the printing, distribution and sale of pirate recharge vouchers by Shivacom.
The letter signed by Vodacom Tanzania's chief legal officer to Mr Tanil Somaiya, owner of Shivacom Group, also said Vodacom suffered huge financial losses from the fraud.
"It has been established that you have been fraudulently, and in total breach of the contract, producing duplicate pirate electronic recharge vouchers using pin numbers provided by Vodacom," Vodacom Tanzania's chief legal officer, Walarick Nittu, said in the letter to Tanil.
He added that Shivacom's acts of breach have caused "enormous business losses" to Vodacom Tanzania.
Meza and Ms. Mutagahya's cover-up attempt (pictured together above) has since failed to defuse the situation.
The Parliamentary Finance and Economic Affairs Committee has already ordered the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA) to submit a comprehensive report on how much taxes were evaded from the scandal.
There are also reports that the Tanzania Police Force and the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) could soon launch parallel investigations.

HOW THE SCANDAL UNFOLDED
A staggering $350 million (over 675 billion shillings) was stolen from Tanzanians in a massive scandal involving the sale of pirated electronic recharge vouchers from Vodacom Tanzania to customers.
The scam, which is bigger than the Bank of Tanzania's infamous external payment arrears (EPA) and IPTL Tegeta escrow account scandals combined, involves Tanil Somaiya, a business tycoon behind several dubious deals in Tanzania, including the military radar transaction with Britain's BAE Systems.
The production of the electronic recharge vouchers followed the signing of a contract between Vodacom Tanzania and Tanil's Shivacom Group in 2007/08. This means that Shivacom acted both as a Vodacom super dealer and printer and supplier of electronic recharge vouchers, an obvious conflict of interest.
In the elaborate scandal, Tanil's company, Shivacom Group, printed millions of pirated 500 shillings electronic recharge vouchers (Jero Jero) between 2008 and 2012 and colluded with other companies owned by Fred Lowassa (Alphatel) and TIB Development Bank Managing Director Peter Noni (Planetel) to distribute the vouchers across Tanzania.
Fred Lowassa is the director of Alphatel, a Vodacom super dealer, while Noni, a former senior Bank of Tanzania (BoT) official, also owns another Vodacom super dealer, Planetel.
Rostam Aziz, the biggest Tanzanian shareholder of Vodacom Tanzania, has also been implicated in the scandal due to his silence over the embezzlement of over 675 billion shillings.
Together, Shivacom colluded with Alphatel and Planetel to carry out the massive fraud involving the production, distribution and sale of pirate electronic recharge vouchers worth over 675 billion shillings without Vodacom's knowledge until the scam was unearthed in 2012.
There was also rampant tax evasion in the scandal with Value Added Tax (VAT) worth more than 121 billion shillings evaded by Shivacom and its conspirators, which is a serious criminal offence.
Senior officials at Tanzania government regulatory and watchdog agencies such as the Tanzania Revenue Authority (TRA), the Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) and the Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) were either complicit in the scandal or were caught napping.
Shivacom alone distributed more than half of the fake recharge vouchers, while the other pirate vouchers were distributed by its conspirators - Alphatel and Planetel.
The "Jero Jero" vouchers are the most fast-moving electronic recharge vouchers in Tanzania, with Shivacom printing hundreds of millions of fake vouchers using pins provided by Vodacom Tanzania.
The scandal not only caused Vodacom Tanzania huge financial loss, it also resulted in the detrimental loss of customer confidence. This is partly attributed to Vodacom Tanzania losing its dominance in Tanzania's mobile phone industry, with Airtel and Tigo now threatening to wrestle away the company's market share.
Insiders say Vodacom Tanzania's MD, Rene Meza, found out about the scandal after just arriving in Tanzania from Kenya to take up the position of Vodacom Tanzania managing director.
"Rene Meza confronted Tanil about the scandal and demanded a $10 million kickback to keep quiet. Tanil arrogantly told him to piss off, so Rene retaliated by instructing Vodacom's legal counsel to write a letter to Shivacom to terminate the electronic recharge voucher agreement for breach of contract," said a well-placed source.
"Tanil went to Vodacom South Africa's Group CEO, Shameel, and gave him a bribe of $400,000. Shameel then instructed Vodacom Tanzania to settle the matter with Shivacom. Rene Meza finally settled for a $5 million bribe from Tanil and Vodacom paid Tanil hefty compensation for termination of the contract despite the obvious fraud."
Vodacom Tanzania's lawyers gave legal advice that the contract should be terminated and Shivacom should pay compensation to Vodacom for the fraud. However, after bribes exchanged hands, Shivacom ended being paid a hefty compensation by Vodacom despite perpetrating the massive fraud.
In all this scandal, Tanil used a Dar es Salaam-based lawyer, Dilip Kesaria, to respond to legal queries from Vodacom.
Kesaria, who was disbarred in the United Kingdom for malpractices but fraudulently allowed to operate as a lawyer in Tanzania, is the Principal at Kesaria & Company advocates.
The following is a chronology of key events in the massive 675 billion shillings fraud involving Vodacom Tanzania's Jero Jero electronic recharge vouchers:

Key Facts and Figures

• 2008. A 10-year agreement comes into effect for Shivacom Tanzania Limited to provide electronic recharge vouchers (EVD) to Vodacom Tanzania Limited. This means that Shivacom effectively played a dual role of being a Vodacom super dealer and EVD supplier in separate agreements.

• 2008-2012. The massive fraud committed by Shivacom over the 5-year period is worth more than $350 million (675 billion Tanzanian shillings), which is bigger than the Bank of Tanzania EPA and Tegeta Escrow account scandals combined. This fraud was done by Shivacom printing TZS 500 electronic recharge vouchers (Jero Jero) fraudulently and distributing them into the market without Vodacom's knowledge.

Other Vodacom super dealers, including Alphatel and Planetel are also implicated in directly colluding with Shivacom to distribute pirate recharge vouchers.

• 31 July 2012. Vodacom Tanzania Ltd's Chief Legal & Regulatory Officer writes a letter to Shivacom Tanzania Ltd to formally notify the company about breach of contract. This comes after Vodacom Tanzania Ltd discovered that Shivacom has been engaged in massive fraud over the past 5 years (2008-2012) by printing and distributing pirate electronic recharge vouchers using pin numbers provided by Vodacom. This letter effectively terminated the EVD contract between Vodacom Tanzania Ltd and Shivacom Ltd.

• 3 August 2012. Shivacom responds to Vodacom's letter, disputing the decision to terminate the EVD contract under advice from Kesaria.

• 3 September 2012. Shivacom Group's Managing Director, Tanil Somaiya, writes a letter to Vodacom's Group CEO in South Africa, Shameel Aziz Joosub, requesting a meeting to discuss the EVD contract termination. Tanil succeeds in meeting with Shameeel, who is compromised and orders Vodacom Tanzania to settle the matter with Shivacom and pay compensation to the company for contract termination despite the fraud. The meeting between Tanil and Shameel with other senior Vodacom officials took place on 1 November 2012.

Vodacom Tanzania MD, Rene Meza, receives a bribe of $5 million from Tanil Somaiya to resolve the matter.

• 9 November 2012. Tanil writes a letter to Shameel, saying he was offering his Shivacom Superdealership subscriber base for sale. Shivacom gave Vodacom the right of first refusal and asked for consent to scout around for alternative buyers if Vodacom was not interested in buying the dealership.

• 14 November 2012. Vodacom Tanzania Ltd's Chief Legal & Regulatory Officer writes a letter to Shivacom offering compensation payment for termination of the contract. This is despite the fact that Vodacom's lawyers gave legal advice to the firm to terminate the contract with Shivacom given the fact that Shivacom have breached the contract by duplicating TZS 500 vouchers.

• 29 November 2012. Tanil writes a letter to Shameel rejecting Vodacom's "paltry" compensation offer. Tanil demands hefty compensation for loss of profit, cost of hardware and software of the voucher production equipment and cost of unutilized stock of raw materials.

• 2012-2015. Vodacom settles with Shivacom by paying the company a multi-million U.S. dollar compensation despite the company committing the massive fraud.

Mkuu nisaidie kuelewa the difference between listed na private company. Sielewi so use simple technologies ili nijifunze kwako. Ahsante

Public listed company(PLC) ni kampuni ambayo imejiandikisha kwenye stock exchange hivyo mtu yeyote anaweza kununua share na kuwa mmiliki katika hiyo kampuni.mfano kwa hapa Tz ni CRDB Plc unaweza kununua share za crdb pale Dar es salaam stock exchange na kuwa mmoja wa wamiliki wa CRDB.
Private company ni kampuni ambayo haiuzi share zake public.
Nina mengi ya kukueleza tatizo nina uvivu wa kuandika.

Shukran sasa how does that affect Rene's appointment au hii PLC inakuwa more strict compared to private?

Mkuu nisaidie kuelewa the difference between listed na private company. Sielewi so use simple technologies ili nijifunze kwako. Ahsante

Private company ni kampuni binafsi kama vile IPP, Azam na zingine. Listed companies ni makampuni yaliyosajiliwa kwenye soko la hisa, kwa mfano CRDB, NMB, Twiga cement na mengineyo, vile vile listed companies yanajulikana kama public companies kwa kuwa mambo yake yote inabidi yawekwe wazi ili wanahisa wake wajue. Hivyo mahesabu ya IPP na Azam hatuwezi kujua lakini mahesabu ya CRDB yako wazi kwa yoyote yule kujua.

Tuonavyo sisi ameiharibu Vodacom. kwani Watanzania hamuoni, hata wekundu mtaani umebaki wa Zain. heri aondoke aje mwingine aijenge Vodacom kwa faida ya watanzania

Hakuwa na jipya. Kaifanya Vodacom iwe na upinzani wakati haikuwa na mpinzani kabla yake. Ni kweli, amekuja amekuta wenzake walishajenga kila kitu. Wasiojua hawatakuelewa.

Kumbuka aliishindwa Vodacom wakati yuko TIGO, hivyo angekuwa na ujuzi wa kushinda market angeishinda Vodacom wakati yuko TIGO.
