    I really, really love this a corporate giant investing in improving the lives of our youngsters and nogal coming to the Vaal, a really, really neglected place by big corporates. I am leaving Vodacom for MTN. Will be buying the simcard tomorrow. Bye Vodacom you havent done nothing for my community
