Vodacom Lesotho Advocates for Stronger Data Management Practices

Last week, Vodacom Lesotho organized a comprehensive workshop dedicated to data protection and management. The event aimed to stimulate discussions on industry best practices, regulatory compliance, and effective strategies for safeguarding consumer rights. The workshop saw participation from representatives of the Lesotho Communications Authority, the Central Bank of Lesotho, and various industry players, including financial services providers.

Vodacom Group serves over 200 million customers in Africa, and in the last financial year, we had zero privacy fines and no critical cybersecurity incidents. This is a testament to our commitment to customer privacy beyond legal compliance. Workshops like the one we hosted today are crucial in ensuring that while we advance from an innovation perspective, including through the deployment of data-driven AI tools, the industry at large keeps pace with AI regulatory developments and trends, always putting consumers first.
