Liquid Telecom Group said it will enter West Africa after securing land to build the largest data centres in Ghana and Nigeria, ITWeb reported. This was announced when executive chairman Strive Masiyiwa declared that Africa Data Centres' deal to acquire a Tier IV data centre in South Africa from Standard Bank has been unconditionally approved by the South African Competition Commission.
Africa Data Centres is part of the Liquid Telecom Group and believes the acquisition will prove highly disruptive to the South African data centre and co-location market. The facility is available on an open access basis.
