@BoardLotSultan Karibu sana, ndugu. Na kwa hayo mafupi, nakualika Kilifi ule muhogo wa kukaanga ulotiwa pilipili na kunyunyiziwa ndimu halafu uteremshie na madafu! 😆

[Ali Hussein Kassim @AliHKassim]

@BoardLotSultan Kilifi tunapanda muhogo na minazi, sio yams! Hata kilimo kinakushinda? 🥥😂 But look at you shifting goalposts to "Ultimate Beneficial Owner." That corporate nuance is what your followers deserved from the start instead of the misleading confusion. Let me go enjoy my muhogo!

@BoardLotSultan Wacha sarakasi, @BoardLotSultan! 😆 Umeji-own na ChatGPT. You called Vodacom a British company, but your AI quote explicitly corrects you: it's South African, partly -owned by Vodafone UK. THAT actual corporate structure is what you should've posted first.

Less data shared per transaction.
37.4 million times a day.

That's not a small update. That's meaningful privacy at scale.

RT if you think more African fintechs should follow this lead. 👇

Unpopular opinion: Safaricom masking your number in M-PESA SMS is one of the most underrated privacy moves in African fintech this year.

A thread. Let's go! 🧵

And for those worried about something having "gone wrong" with their M-PESA:
Nothing is broken. Your transactions are safe.

Amounts, dates, TXN IDs — all unchanged.

The only thing that changed is how much of your information is visible to others. That's a good thing. ✅

@TomolaGroup 🤣🤣 In Kenya, the only comment to this is - Weuh!!
