Cell C Sold Down the River: The Truth Behind Blue Label’s Greedy Grab
As the communications regulator Icasa and the Competition Tribunal prepare to rubber-stamp Blue Label Telecoms’ proposed acquisition of control in Cell C, the future of South Africa’s third-largest mobile operator hangs in the balance. And it’s all thanks to the avaricious ambitions of Blue Label’s co-CEO, Brett Levy.
With a staggering R7.5-billion invested in Cell C, Levy is now poised to take control of the company, giving him a stranglehold over the entire telecommunications industry. And to make matters worse, Icasa and the Competition Tribunal are more than happy to turn a blind eye to the potential anticompetitive consequences of this deal.
A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing
But what exactly is Blue Label’s endgame? Levy has already promised to acquire a further 4% stake in Cell C, giving him a whopping 53.5% equity holding. And once he has that control, he’ll be able to dictate the terms of the entire industry, squeezing out smaller competitors and stifling innovation.
The Prepaid Company: A Vehicle for Dominance
But that’s not all. Blue Label’s application to transfer Cell C’s spectrum licences to its own company, The Prepaid Company, is just the tip of the iceberg. This is a blatant attempt to create a monopoly, giving Blue Label a stranglehold over the entire telecommunications market.
The Levy Brothers’ Secret Plan
And don’t even get us started on the Levy brothers’ plan to bring in a new strategic investor into Cell C. What exactly does that mean? Are they planning to sell out to a foreign entity, further compromising South Africa’s telecommunications industry? The answer, much like the true extent of Blue Label’s plans, remains shrouded in secrecy.
