One Spirit, one goal: the connections that unite us

In this edition, we highlight our unique connection with football throughout Africa, a reflection of unity, passion and possibility.

Like Vodacom, football is a great connector across the continent – it’s played everywhere, even if it’s just a casual kickabout. Football is more than just a game; it’s about the possibility of growing to the next level, from neighbourhood games and local rivalries to producing some of the world’s biggest stars playing in top international leagues.

Vodacom supports football at every level, from grassroots initiatives to major sponsorships across different countries. Our backing also extends to iconic global players, like Egypt’s Mohamed Salah. He’s reached the highest levels of the sport, and Vodacom’s strong association with him highlights this connection.

There are many stories to share about football’s impact. It brings joy to countless people. At Vodacom, we’re committed to keeping that spirit of football alive.

Another powerful connection we share is with our people, who we encourage to learn, grow and lead with curiosity and purpose. This is reflected in our employer value proposition, or EVP, which calls on all of us to reach our potential by building new skills that shape our career. In this spirit, we cast the spotlight on five employees whose journeys reflect our commitment to unlocking potential and shaping a future where everyone can thrive.

As we journey towards this future, guided by Vision 2030, every connection we create aims to enrich society. Read on to see our 10 predictions of how tech could shape Africa, and how you, as part of Vodacom, are helping to build the world of 2030.

All of this and much more awaits in this edition of One Spirit.

Happy reading!
