Kenya's Safaricom ranking in list of top Africa brands

[MK254]

Safaricom has been named as one of the most admired listed brands In the continent by Brand Africa, an independent non-profit organisation registered in South Africa.
The Kenyan telco was lauded alongside other African and international brands such as Nike and MTN during the 7th annual Brand Africa 100: Africa’s Best Brands.
The company jumped 11 slots to an overall position 17 from 28 the previous year.
“MTN (South Africa), Dangote (Nigeria) and Safaricom (Kenya) are the most admired highest listed brands on sub-Saharan Africa’s leading bourses, the JSE (Johannesburg Stock Exchange), Nigeria Stock Exchange and Nairobi Securities Exchange respectively,” reads part of the report.
Since 2011, the Brand Africa 100 has been surveying and ranking the most admired brands spontaneously recalled by African consumers.

Brand Africa announced the latest rankings at the JSE in partnership with Geopoll, Kantar and Brand Leadership.
Safaricom’s M-Pesa retained its lead among mobile money brands.
Nike retains the overall number one brand in Africa spontaneously recalled by consumers.
“The presence of multiple mobile money brands on the list, including Safaricom M-Pesa (ranked 13), Orange Money (18), MTN Mobile Money (19) and Tigo (23), underscores the impact of not only M-Pesa as the catalyst but mobile as a key enabler for financial access,” said the report.
The Top 25 Most Admired Financial Services Brands list is dominated by South Africa (6), Nigeria (5) and Kenya (2).
Overall, African brands faltered to an all-time low of 14 percent share of the Top 100 most admired brands in Africa.
“These rankings are an important metric of and challenge for creating home-grown competitive African brands that will transform the African promise and change its narrative and image as a competitive continent,” said Thebe Ikalafeng, founder and chairman of Brand Africa.

Mkikaririshwa huwa mnakua kama mazombi fulani hivi, humu tumeshawapa taarifa za umiliki wa Safaricom, na kingine, rates za data za Safaricom ni nafuu na vifurushi vyenye ubora kuliko mitandao yote ya kwenu. Mimi nafanya kazi ya kutegemea internet 24/7 na nimetumia vifurushi vya kila aina kwenye haya mataifa ya Afrika Mashariki, hivyo nina uzoefu wa ninachokisema.
Nyie mpo bado sana tena mbali sana kushindana na Kenya kwenye chochote, sio kiuchumi, kielimu, kijeshi, miundo mbinu wala nini.
Uchumi wenu wa jamhuri yenu yote hiyo ya muungano wa mataifa mawili ni sawia na uchumi wa Nairobi pekee.....

Endeleeni kujitekenya hivyo hivyo, lakini Safaricom wenyewe ni hawa hapa wanaelezea uhalisia:-\

Yaani hata zile 25% zilizo sokoni, majority zinanunuliwa na foreigners.

Nenda kawabishie Safaricom wenyewe ambao wanatuambia:-

Very sorry for you guys! Manake hata zile 25% zilizopo sokoni na zenyewe zinaporwa na wageni!! Halafu majuzi ndo nikaja kupigwa na butwaa nilipokuja kugundua kumbe hata M-Pesa, ni product ya Vodafone na Safaricom na wengine wanalipia percent fulani ya total revenue!

Who is the owner of Safaricom tuanzie hapa

Here is the owner:-

Percentage ya uhakika iliyomo mikononi mwa Kenyans ni hiyo 35% ya Treasury Department! Na Wakenya walivyo mafisadi, unaweza kukuta angalau 5% ya Treasury, inaliwa tu na manyang'au waliopo serikalini!

Who is the owner of Safaricom tuanzie hapa

Kama mlivyoambiwa hapo juu, share za Safaricom ambazo zinamilikiwa na Wakenya (65%), zina faida kubwa kuliko kampuni zote ambazo kiko listed DSE combined.

Safaricom is a kenyan super brand!

Iyo 25% ni majority Kenyans.
Kwetu tuko na shares my parents,mimi na siz yangu.
Usidhani wakenya wamezuba kama nyinyi.

Man, soma vizuri! Hapo nilipoweka Blue Box panasema:-

As the table below illustrates, foreign corporates hold the highest proportion of the free float, approximately 52%. While the number of local companies holding shares in Safaricom has been on a decline, the proportion of shares they hold has also been decreasing and, currently, these companies hold 31.4% of the free float. Holdings by both retail and corporate local investors have been on a decline.

Sasa how come tena unasema majority shareholders wa hiyo 25% ni Kenyans?! Na hiyo ni taarifa kutoka Safaricom wenyewe, and not from an external source! Sasa ikiwa hata number of local companies holding the shares imepungua na inaendelea kupungua let alone proportion of shares they hold, what about individual shareholders?

Sasa endeleeni tu na kiburi chenu cha kujifanya mnajua sana wakati ukweli wenyewe ndo huo hapo juu! And am telling you, ikija serikali ya kifisadi, hata sehemu ya hiyo 35% zilizopo treasury na yenyewe itaingizwa sokoni! Na kwa jinsi Safaricom ilivyo kwa sasa, majority of Kenyans hawataweza ku-afford kununua hata kama serikali itaamua kuuza sehemu ya hisa zao!
