@'Bona-fide' Genghis, am not in the money handling profession but these are my 2 cents, so if am wrong, don't let Wazuans skin me!

i. Safaricom reaching IPO share price:
By October 2012! In the past 3-4 months, this guys have drastically reduced advertisement expense in our electronic media (saving billions of cash). Also, the calling charges have survived the airtel scare. Again, data is flourishing. On this, i would be worried if am NMG, SG, Scangroup or AK shareholder! SO A 0.35/- Divided will push the share price to 5-6/-.

ii. Increment in M-PESA charges:
This was clearly explained through the media. The purpose was to let the m-pesa kiosk have more revenue in their business. This has no immediate revenue implication on Safaricom books!

iii. Listing of suspended stocks!
I don't know how i can answer you, but NSE Sucks! Maybe the law doesn't allow them to be automatically delisted once listed! Its like been an MP, once elected by ODM/PNU etc, its you to write to the speaker to inform him, you are fed up with ODM/PNU etc.

Disclaimer: I hold well over 185,000 safcom shares. Bought them after IPO. Average price 3.43/-.

I thought someone here was claiming that some companies take a loan to pay dividends. If this guys were light, meibe Safcom can do the same in order to pay .35 shillings.

if a reverse ipo happens or when airtel smells the coffee and goes for the corporate/ elite niche and calling rates go back to 8 bob
