MAZIV’s Dietlof Mare on the Vodacom transaction and South Africa’s fiber future

In this episode, we welcome Dietlof Mare, CEO of MAZIV, the company behind South Africa’s largest open-access fiber networks, including Vumatel and Dark Fibre Africa. With the Competition Appeal Court’s approval of MAZIV’s landmark merger with Vodacom, the company is entering a defining chapter in its mission to connect more South Africans. Dietlof shares insights on the challenges of fiber rollout, the scale of investment required, and the impact that expanded connectivity can have on communities and the broader economy. The discussion also explores how the transaction unlocks capital and infrastructure needed to accelerate fiber expansion, particularly into underserved areas. Dietlof highlights the importance of balancing competition with public interest, while ensuring open access remains at the core of MAZIV’s model. With plans to reach millions more homes and businesses, he unpacks how enterprise fiber, 5G backhaul, and community connectivity will play a critical role in South Africa’s digital future.
