KUWAIT (Reuters) - Mobile operator Zain is in talks with potential buyers for a stake in its African operations, but denied it had reached a deal to sell the unit to Vivendi, the firm's chief executive said. "We are discussing... It is a number of companies who are interested in this partnership in Africa... There is nothing specific," Saad al-Barrak told Reuters in an interview on Wednesday. "Partnership means bringing in another partner from 25 percent to whatever in Africa," he said. Barrak denied a newspaper report that Zain had reached a deal to sell its African operations to Europe's largest entertainment group, Vivendi for $12 billion. |
