Vodacom: No lack of supporters

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 31 May 2009

Loftus Versfeld has come alive on Saturday night as a crowd in excess of 50 000 cheered for their respective teams. The Vodacom Bulls and the Chiefs clashed in the Super 14 final which ended 61 to 17 in favor of the Vodacom Bulls.

A valuable lesson…

Saturday evening’s clash between the Vodacom Bulls and Chiefs was highly entertaining but what struck ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) the most was the sheer scale of the support the Vodacom Bulls enjoy.

This directed our thoughts to Cosatu’s (The Congress of South African Trade Unions) attempt to boycott Vodacom’s products and services earlier this month. The attempted boycott was in retribution to the  North Gauteng High Court’s decision to rule in favour of Vodacom’s listing on the JSE (Johannesburg Stock Exchange), which cleared the way for Telkom’s sale of 15% of its stake in Vodacom to the UK’s Vodafone. Needless to say, a boycott that failed horribly, one that never got off the ground to say the least.
