Im pretty sure Vodacom and MTN will have it.
Any news of Cell C deploying LTE?

The handset manufacturers are already releasing LTE handsets, I suspect the iPhone 5 will have LTE, I want an LTE handset.

I remember Cell C's decision to drop 3G altogether a couple of years ago... Will they leave us in the gutters again?

I dont think Cell C can afford to buy the spectrum anytime soon. VC and MTN will very easily out bid them and from what I have read it seems that these 3 will compete for the same spectrum.

So unless Cell C refarms some spectrum their LTE hopes are pretty dismal

Ja, if VC and MTN gets this before Cellc, I can see how they will bleed this thing dry. Milking every penny out of it, till CellC joins in.
LTE is actually "aimed" at the cheaper market. 1 tower covering bigger areas and better broadband. This would've been great with CellC. Hope they make a plan.
