    Vodacom becoming complacent

    During AKC's time there was this relentless drive to be the best. It sure wasn't an ideal environment for everybody. And then Vodafone comes in, becomes the main shareholder and the priority becomes "how are we going to make money to keep on paying dividends to our (VF) share holders?, How are...
