Abstract

This is the second of a three-case series (E-0062-E, E-0063-E and E-0066-E). The case documents the events after the Zimbabwean government is ordered by the High Court to issue a license to Econet to set up a mobile telecommunications network. Econet achieves market leadership based largely on: (1) the goodwill accumulated with stakeholders over the previous five years during which it has fought a bitter battle with the government for a license; and (2) a series of innovations it introduces.
