Telkom recently announced that it would dispose of its stake in Vodacom with Vodafone buying 15%, giving the UK-based cellular giant a majority stake in Vodacom. This has raised questions about Vodacom’s branding and whether the company would replace its current name and brand with the Vodafone brand.<\/p>\n
Government has insisted that the Vodacom brand would remain visible throughout Africa, which means that a name change to Vodafone is highly unlikely. <\/p>\n
Rumours have, however, started spreading, suggesting that Vodacom will replace its current green and blue branding with red and white – similar to Vodafone’s colours. This was confirmed by a source close to the rebranding of Vodacom.<\/p>\n
It is speculated that the new logo will basically be the same as the current Vodacom logo, but in red and white.<\/p>\n
Vodacom, however, said that no decision had been taken at this stage and the company could not provide any details about the rebranding process.<\/p>\n
