Read < 1 minute

 

In this episode of #CGTNBiztalk, we explore the telecommunications company that’s fast becoming a market leader in Africa, and the man who has become somewhat of a legend on the continent: Michael Joseph, whose name is synonymous with the success of telco giant Safaricom.

The company that started out with a team of 5 people now employs about 6,500 staff, more than 34 million subscribers and over 63 percent market share in Kenya alone.

Valued at over $11 billion and arguably the most profitable company in East Africa, what lies ahead for Michael Joseph and the company he started?
