Confirmed fact · as of 31 Oct 2026

Yes. In a 2026 submission to ICASA, Vodacom (Pty) Ltd states it obtained its Individual ECNS licence and Individual ECS licence directly from the Authority; the specific licence numbers were not stated in the document.

Reasoning

A document filed with the regulator confirms Vodacom holds I-ECNS and I-ECS licences, but it cites no licence number, and the ICASA list-of-licensees registers were not read to the entry level in this review.

A claim review answers one narrow factual question from the cited sources. It is not a verdict on the company.
