Vodacom Tanzania discloses their customer private data

There are unquestionable scenarios that a leading Tanzania’s cellular network company, Vodacom (T) can easily hack and share customers' conversations without their consent. Voicemail, massaging and maybe video hacking is easily tracked by Vodacom and shared to third parties, contrary to Tanzania’s Constitution through the right to not have one’s communication encroached on. More evident of this could be traced recently during Lengai ole Sabaya, former Hai District Commissioner criminal court case, where Defense and Security Liaison Manager of Vodacom, James Wawenje admitted in court – where public and media people are allowed, that his company were recording back and forth voice conversations and massaging of Sabaya and his two co accused. He said he did as after being ordered by Arusha Regional Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) while investigating their cellphones. Other accused whose cell phones were hacked were Enock Mnkeni and Nathan Msuya. Numbers that Vodacom hacked are +255 758 707171 registered in the name of Lengai Ole Sabaya, +255 757 978686 registered in the name of Enock Mnkeni and number +255 746 935569 registered in the name of Ramweli Jackson Macha. Apart from this, Vodacom has been accused, several times by customers, of sharing their communications to security organs. This means, Vodacom, through dishonest employees could collaborate with any other third party, not only state, to share one’s conversations.
