    Kenyans On Twitter Celebrate Safaricom Data Heist

    Kenya’s largest telco Safaricom suffered a major glitch in their systems yesternight that allowed customers to acquire data bundles with no expiry date and airtime for free.

    A similar glitch happened in June 2019 that saw Michael Joseph’s telco lose millions of shillings in data and bundles. This has started to raise a redflag on how the administration of the Safaricom is being driven since the death of late CEO Bob Collymore.

    Is Safaricom almost collapsing? Is the government part of the blanketed storm that is for sure brewing at Safaricom?

    Here is the reaction of those who benefited from the data Heist.
