2018 is done and dusted per Safaricom books. Financial years are not Gregorian. And I think there's another thread "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

Accounting period that can start on any day of a calendar year but has twelve consecutive months (52 consecutive weeks) at the end of which account books are closed, profit or loss is computed, and financial reports are prepared for filing. It may or may not match a calendar year. Called fiscal year in the US.
So a company with a fiscal year that begins April 1, 2017, and ends March 31, 2018 refers to that period as fiscal year 2018, even though it starts in 2017.
I know it doesnt matter but from a professional perspective it is not right. Fiscal Year or financial year 18 is gone. The Safaricom new year started in May "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

SMS is dying vs WhatsApp but for those "betting" uses. I wonder how non-betting SMS were sent! It will not be easy sailing for SafCom but I wish it the best given I bought some recently! Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

The growth in smartphones seems higher than Mulika Mwizi phones and the 50:50 could be reached by 2021 given the reduction in price (over time) of smartphones to less than $100 for a decent phone Some of the Mulika Mwizi users may use these as "Mpango ya kando"... Easier to delete the incriminating history! I hope SafCom can leverage their fiber network in Nairobi to push their services. It doesn't cost Safcom much more to hook up 100 users vs 10 users on a street once the fiber is already servicing a street or building. Greedy when others are fearful.

It doesn't cost Safcom much more to hook up 100 users vs 10 users on a street once the fiber is already servicing a street or building. $100 is alot of money to majority of kenyans. There is also the element of cost data. The recent tax measures will slow down growth Mulika mwizi are going for $20. Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation
