Zain Dakika za mwisho kuuzwa, kubadili jina na kuwa AirTel?

Habari imefika mkuu. Safari hii sijui itapewa jina gani au nembo gani maana wanajitahidi kubadili kila kinachowezekana kubadilishwa,wizi mtupu.
Shamba la Bibi linaendelea kuvunwa.Hii yote ni janja ya wakubwa wetu kuendeleza neema juu ya migongo ya Watanzania.Lakini ipo siku ukweli utajulikana kwani safari hii ilianza kwa kuiua TP & TC na hatimae TTCL,historia itatuambia ukweli tu.
 
It is very sad to see that in the world of mergers and acquisitions, watu bado mnazani kuuzwa kwa zain ni mchongo wa TIC. I think we need some business experts in Jamiiforums , who will give some Analyisis wa issue kama hizi before people jump to conclution.

All big companies grow worldwide through M&A and this is very common trand for Telecom and Banking Sector and always remember Zain Tanzania it always be a subsidiary of other foreign company which give them power to do whatever they want

Bharti Airtel rings in Africa


Bharti Airtel on Tuesday completed the $10.7 billion acquisition of Zain Africa to become the world's fifth largest telecom company. The company has now set its eyes to become third largest telecom company globally.

"You are all aware about the journey, we started in early February to acquire Zain's African assets and today at 12.30 this afternoon we exchanged the papers, paid the money and took over the company. This is a culmination of a long dream," said Bharti chairman and managing director, Mr Sunil Bharti Mittal.

The combined entity will have operations in 18 countries with 180 million customers and revenues of $12.4 billion.

In two earlier attempts, Bharti had failed to acquire South Africa based teleco MTN. Mr Mittal felt that the deal with Zain was better than MTN. "If you look, there were compromises to be made in the deal with MTN. It was a partnership where we had board control but no management control. Also there would not have been any brand change. We were fortunate to get a second chance and a much better chance," he added.

Mr Mittal said that the Zain acquisition will help the company to roll out its low-cost model in Africa.
Bharti will launch its brand in Africa by October. "We have set a goal to acquire 100 million revenue earning customers and $5 billion revenues by 2012-13," said Mr Manoj Kohli, the chief executive of Bharti's international unit.
Mr Kohli, who earlier headed Bharti's operations in Indian and South Asia, will be relocated to Nairobi, which will be the headquarters of Bharti operations in Africa.

He said that with growth in Africa and India, it will be possible for the company to narrow the subscriber gap with Telefonica and American Movil to emerge as the world's third largest telecom company.

Telefonica which is the third largest telecom company has 206 million subscribers and American Movil which is the fourth largest has 201 million subscribers. Bharti has been adding upto three million subscribers in a month in India only.
Bharti has paid around $7.9 billion to Zain and will pay $400 million after completion of certain "milestones."
The company has to pay another $ 700 million within a year. Bharti will take the debt on the books of the acquired assets which are estimated at $1.7 billion.

The Bharti Airtel group deputy chief executive officer and managing director, Mr Akhil Gupta, said that company's debt position is comfortable. "With 3G auction and this transaction, our net debt ratio to EBITDA is around 2.75," the deputy CEO added.

Mr Gupta was confident that this debt would be brought down to below two per cent in two years.
 
Angalia deal la MTN lilivyokuwa na maana:

Tanzania through TTCL/Celtel/Zain tumeuza mpaka uongozi wa kampuni - halafu tunasema tunatengeneza ajira - trust me by October: Zain itakuwa imejaa Wa-Asia wa kutosha! Funny!

Huyu Sunil Bharti Mittal ana uhusiano wowote na Lakshmi Mittal?

Sidhani kama wana uhusiano wowote........Kwa mujibu wa Wikipedia Sunil Mittal anatokea jimbo la Punjab wakati Lakshmi Mittal anatokea jimbo la Rajasthan.......
 
.... Is that so? as Tanzanians, where are we in all this, pray?? :frown:


Hawa Mittal wawili si ndugu majina tu kama kina Massawe wote ni wachagga lakini sio lazima wawe ndugu...Kuhusu hii deal na Tz tupo wapi?

Kwa mujibu wa sheria za Tz na hizi international M&A ni lazima authorities ya nchi zote husika ziibariki hiyo deal. Navyojua mimi serikali yetu kwa kupitia TTCL ilikuwa na 40% share kwenye Zain Tz hivyo basi hizo bado zipo unless serikali ilishaziuza. Navyofahamu Serikali ina mpango wakuzi offload hizo share DSE.

Kwenye hili deal yetu macho, sababu hawa Airtel watajaribu kupata faida ili warudishe hela zao walizowekeza ingawa hio itakuwa ngumu maana soko la mobile Tz lina ushindani mkubwa sana. Ni win-win kwao (ingawa hao Airtel hawana uhakika kama watapata faida kubwa kurudishia mikopo) lakini sisi kama raia na wateja sidhani kama we have anything to loose after all kama wakichemsha basi Voda na Tigo watashangilia...yetu macho

vilevile ni kweli hizi M&A ni vitu vya kawaida na hata hapa kwetu vinaendelea kuwepo Mwadui imeuzwa na deBeers kwa Petra diamond...Absa wamiliki wa NBC walinunuliwa na Barclays ya UK. Vilevile nimesikia sasa Standard Chartered watachukua matawi mengi ya Barclays hapa Afrika na kadha wa kadha....
 
Govt: No Zain deal

By The Sunday Citizen Team

The takeover of Zain Tanzania by Bharti Airtel has not yet been concluded despite the Indian company’s announcement early this week that it has completed its $10.7 billion acquisition of the Zain Group in Africa.


Two Cabinet ministers confirmed to the Sunday Citizen that the deal had not been finalised, as there were still issues that needed to be sorted out. However, none of them could reveal what is holding up the transaction, whose conclusion is eagerly awaited.


Communications, Science and Technology minister Peter Msolla said Zain and Bharti Airtel could not have sealed the deal without involving the government, which has a 40 per cent stake in the business. He said the two companies could not claim to have completed the multi-billion dollar deal, when its talks with Zain had not been concluded.


“A big mistake has been made. We are shareholders and our involvement is a must. As far as I am concerned, we are not done yet. They cannot say they have sealed a deal when we are still on it,” Prof Msolla told the Sunday Citizen in Dodoma on Tuesday.


Finance minister Mustafa Mkulo also said negotiations were still going on between Zain and the government, but he would not reveal the pending issues.


“This matter has not been finalised. We are still in touch with them (Zain) and have not concluded any issues. Let’s just leave it for now. I’m still in touch with the company,” Mr Mkulo said, when told that Bharti Airtel has announced the conclusion of the transaction.


Efforts to contact the managing director of Zain Tanzania, Mr Khaleed Muhtadi, for comment on the government’s position failed yesterday. However, he had told the Sunday Citizen on Wednesday that the company’s takeover would not affect the shareholding or involve the retrenchment of staff.


Mr Muhtadi said the rebranding of Zain to Airtel would be decided in the next few months.


Early this week, the Indian company announced that the governments in the 15 African countries, including Tanzania, where the company operates, had blessed its takeover of the Zain business in the continent.


“We are delighted at the closure of this transformational deal for India and Bharti. We would like to express our deep gratitude and thank the governments of all the 15 countries…for their overwhelming support to this landmark event,” the chairman and managing director of Bharti, Mr Sunil Bharti Mittal, said in a statement on Tuesday.

From the $10.7 billion transaction, Zain is expected to earn as much as $3 billion, which will be shared out among its shareholders. Besides being consulted as a shareholder in the business in Tanzania, the government would under normal circumstances also have been entitled to a dividend like the other shareholders.


However, some analysts said that would still have been a raw deal since the government’s privilege of right of first refusal (ROFR) before the other shares of Zain Tanzania were sold had been disregarded. Generally, ROFR is the right of a person or company or business partner to purchase something before the offering is made available to others as the Zain Group did to its shares in Zain Tanzania.


“How can it be over, when a task force in Kenya, which was formed to look into the deal in that country, hasn’t finished its work?,” an industry insider in Dar es Salaam said, when informed about the Bharti announcement.


“From what has happened, it is clear the Zain-government partnership in Tanzania disfavours us. Can you imagine the government as a shareholder who has even no right to be consulted when the business is sold and who is not accorded the right of first refusal before the shares are sold?”


An industry player, who sought anonymity, said the government should have used the ROFR to acquire Zain Tanzania or become a majority shareholder and use the lucrative business to boost Tanzania Telecommunications Company Ltd.

He said it was wrong to deny the government the ROFR privilege.
Tanzania, like several other African governments, formed taskforces to investigate the Zain-Bharti Airtel deal.

Last month, the Tanzanian team presented to Mr Mkulo a report on what the government should take into account before letting the Indian firm take over Zain Tanzania.


Details of the team’s proposals have yet to be disclosed, though analysts are saying making the information public would be in the national interest.
The chairman of a mobile phone operator, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, said although the government had not approved the deal, Bharti’s announcement meant it could do so soon or had conditionally approved the transaction.


Like Tanzania, others have cried foul play over the sale, with analysts saying Zain may be "flipping" its African assets to the Indian group, without any gains to the countries in which it is operating, and making a huge profit in the process.

According to them, capital gains taxes should be paid, jobs protected and privacy concerns addressed, as it has emerged that all Bharti Airtel’s operations will be centralised.


In Kenya, the government fears it might lose up to $100 million in taxes.
