    methinks Masiyiwa, Nyambirai & Partners would make for a splendid legal firm. Can’t say much about the mobile side of things though…

    After reading the issues surrounding this case I can only say I’m impressed by Masiyiwa and his team at Econet for fighting this out. This is an important development for African business as a whole.  The rights of shareholders indeed are sacrosant and contracts should be enforceable. Very inspiring and excellent work by Econet
