The net worth of <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Strive_Masiyiwa/">Strive Masiyiwa</a>, Zimbabwe’s richest man, has grown by $600 million since the beginning of 2023 at a time when some African billionaires have experienced significant declines in their fortunes this year.
According to Forbes, Masiyiwa’s net worth has surged by $600 million, largely due to the impressive performance of his diversified investment portfolio spanning various industries, such as telecommunications and technology. At the start of the year, his fortune was valued at $1.2 billion, but due to the strong performance of his broad assets, managed through his technology group, Econet Global, his net worth has now soared to $1.8 billion.
This recent increase has solidified Masiyiwa’s position as one of Africa’s richest businessmen and one of the world’s Black Billionaires, alongside prominent figures such as Jay-Z, Oprah Winfrey, Robert F. Smith, Patrice Motsepe, and Abdul Samad Rabiu.
The surge in Masiyiwa’s net worth can be attributed in large part to the outstanding growth of his publicly traded businesses on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange, particularly Econet Zimbabwe and EcoCash Holdings. He holds a majority 52.85 percent stake in Econet Zimbabwe, the country’s largest telecom services provider, and another 30 percent stake in EcoCash Holdings, a diversified intelligent technology company focused on digital and financial solutions.

Strive Masiyiwa's Net Worth Up $600M While Other African Billionaires Decline

Econet Wireless Zimbabwe, the country’s largest mobile network operator by subscriber base, has with effect from Tuesday, 20 June, hiked data bundles.
In a brief notice sent via SMS to its millions of subscribers, Econet said:
<blockquote>
We are reviewing our ZWL data and SMEs bundle prices effective Tuesday, 20 June 2023.
</blockquote>
An 8 gig private WIFI data bundle now costs ZWL$111 342 up from ZWL$37 114 while a 15 gig bundle is now available for ZWL$201 033 up from ZWL$67 011.
Econent said a 25 gig will cost ZWL$294 675 from ZWL$98 225 and 50 gig users will have to pay ZWL$506 106 up from ZWL$168 702.
The latest tariff hike by Econet comes as the value of the Zimbabwe dollar has continued to plummet against other currencies at both official and parallel markets.
Some service providers are now devising ways to reject the Zimbabwe dollar such as engaging in forward rating and claiming that their point-of-sale machines are down, leaving customers with no option except to make payments in foreign currency.

Econet In Massive Data Bundle Tariff Hike

Econet Wireless Zimbabwe deputy CEO Roy Chimanikire is confident the company’s <a href="https://www.ericsson.com/en/press-releases/1/2023/econet-partners-ericsson-to-modernize-network-infrastructure-in-zimbabwe">partnership with Ericsson</a> for 5G expansion across Harare will deliver high connectivity for Zimbabweans.
Ericsson will help Econet upgrade its Radio Access Network (RAN) and mobile Core network. Said Chimanikire:
<blockquote>
Econet Wireless Zimbabwe is on a mission to realize an advanced 5G ecosystem in the country.
Our latest partnership with Ericsson brings us closer to realizing this ambition with 5G expansions in more locations.

Working alongside Ericsson, we aspire to build a high-performing 5G network that will not only deliver high connectivity but also support industrial and societal advancements in Zimbabwe.
</blockquote>
Todd Ashton, Vice President and Head of Ericsson South and East Africa at Ericsson Middle East and Africa, said:
<blockquote>
We have enjoyed a close and productive partnership with Econet for more than two decades, and we remain committed to supporting them in strengthening their network infrastructure as Zimbabwe lays out ambitious digital plans.
Our solutions will provide Econet with incredible speeds and mobility and introduce next-generation connectivity services seamlessly.
It will also accelerate the introduction of new 5G use cases that will support the nation’s digitalization momentum and assert its position in the growing digital economy.
</blockquote>

High Court Stops Police From Executing A Search & Seizure Warrant At Econet

<blockquote>The public is advised to ignore a false message circulating on some social media platforms purportedly written on the Econet Wireless website.
The message claims that Econet’s internet services will be down on Friday, August 16, from 6 am to 3 pm due to a system upgrade.
Econet has no internet system upgrade scheduled for Friday, August 16, 2019, and accordingly advises the public to ignore the false message. It is fake and not originating from the company.</blockquote>

Econet Wireless says that it empathises with its customers who are complaining of excessively high data tariffs. The giant mobile network operator said in a statement:
<blockquote>1. The cost of fuel has gone up by 500% and the local currency has lost over 900% in value to date. At the same time, our voice tariffs have only increased by 33%.
2. 1 300 of our base stations run on generators for over 18 hours a day and consume 2 million Litres of fuel every month. We only receive 25% of this fuel due to the current shortages.
3. We require over US$60 Million to upgrade equipment and convert our sites to solar.
As we face these adversities together, we ask that you stand with us as you have over 20 years. Connected we are stronger.</blockquote>

<blockquote>Econet would want to once again sincerely apologise to our customers following the network challenges faced on Saturday, July 20, 2019, triggered by ZESA power outages at our Network Operations Centre in Harare. We wish to take this opportunity to update our valued customers and the general public on the impact of the current power crisis.
Our network was designed to withstand a set level of power outages and the highest such level has now been exceeded as a result of the ongoing rolling power outages being experienced across the country.
In order to mitigate the impact on service quality and network performance, Econet has made attempts in the reality of serious fuel shortages to increase diesel fuel allocated to our base station sites. Even with these contingency measures, the increased fuel allocation is still inadequate to ensure the required optimum network performance and at current regulated pricing levels, the related costs are not sustainable.
The severe shortage of both electrical power and diesel fuel means that some of our base stations will not be operational when there is no ZESA power or when fuel runs out on a site. This inevitably results in the degradation of all services supported by the network in terms of service availability, call setup, call success rates, dropped call rates and speech quality.
It is increasingly becoming untenable and uneconomical for Econet to guarantee a reasonable grade of service and optimal network uptime under the current conditions. With the ongoing aggressive ZESA load shedding, our requirements are at more than six times the diesel we are currently using in order to provide uninterrupted service.
Econet would like to point out that the company cannot sustain the current operating conditions of running back-up generators for 14 to 18 hours daily, based on the current heavily eroded tariffs. We are also now incurring higher costs because of the heavy reliance on generators as we now have to service the generators every fortnight, as opposed to the scheduled quarterly service intervals.
Our voice tariffs have remained static in a business operating environment where the local currency has lost nearly 900 per cent value to the US dollar since the beginning of the year, and where the price of the fuel has risen by more than 500 per cent since the beginning of the year.
Given the foregoing, we have stepped up our engagement with the relevant stakeholders with a view to finding an urgent solution to the problem that Econet and the mobile telecommunications industry faces due to the national power crisis. If the authorities that oversee the industry do not offer quick viable solutions as required in the current crisis, the business will have no choice but to take drastic measures to ensure sustainable service.

JUST IN: ECONET Reviews Data Bouquets Prices Upwards

Econet Wireless said the challenges experienced across its network on Monday are to a fault in Masvingo.
In a statement released last night, mobile said the fault initially resulted in call failures in Masvingo region only, but later escalated to a nation-wide problem following an abnormal surge in traffic, which led to instability on its key network systems. Econet said
<blockquote>The instability on our key network systems resulted in intermittent failure by customers to make calls, send SMSes (messages), browse mobile data or to use USSD for services such as EcoCash and to purchase product bundles across the network.</blockquote>
