Liquid Telecom, the fast-growing pan-African telecommunications company, is getting ready to file for an initial public offering next year as it steps up expansion of its network across the continent, including South Africa.
The company is majority-owned by Strive Masiyiwa's Econet Group. Masiyiwa, Zimbabwe's wealthiest businessman (he founded Zimbabwe's leading mobile operator, Econet Wireless), said last week that he intended to list Liquid Telecom, which was founded 11 years ago.
