Following the public announcement in March this year of acquisition of some of Vodacom operations in Africa, including Zambia, by Synergy Communications Limited, we are pleased to inform you that the transaction has since been completed.
Consequently, AfriConnect Zambia has been renamed to inq. Digital Zambia, effective 7th August 2020 and will soon be rebranding to this new identity in line with all other OPCOs under the Group.
Under the new brand, inq. Digital Zambia will be launching a range of new solutions as part of its strategy of becoming the leading Pan-African cloud and digital service provider.
Mr. Raphael Maseko, inq. Digital Zambia Managing Director explained that: “While maintaining our trusted and reliable enterprise communication solutions, we are rolling out our new digital solutions such as Video Analytics using Edge Artificial Intelligence (Edge AI) to address some of the practical challenges in Security, Public Health adherence, Health and Safety, Compliance, Retail analytics, etc. We are also introducing Software Defined Networks (SDN) and Network Function Virtualization (NFV) based solutions to help businesses achieve efficient management of their security, branch orchestration and simplification of network functions. We are also positioning ourselves to handhold our customers to confidently execute their cloud strategies”
Despite the change of name, all other existing contact and identification information (i.e. Company registration number, address of registered office, VAT Number, bank account numbers, telephone numbers, etc.) remain unchanged. The change of AfriConnect’s company name does not affect our rights and obligations with regard to pre-existing contracts with, our business partners or customers.
