ECONET Wireless Zimbabwe Limited has signalled a potentially significant change in its corporate structure advising shareholders to exercise caution as it moves closer to a proposed voluntary delisting from the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE).
In a further cautionary announcement issued January 2026, Econet Group Secretary Tatenda Ngowe said it has begun engagements with the ZSE aimed at publishing a circular to shareholders detailing the proposed delisting of the company.
At the same time the telecommunications giant is planning the listing of Econet Infrastructure Company (InfraCo) on the Victoria Falls Stock Exchange (VFEX).
Ngowe said the proposed InfraCo listing would involve a new vehicle holding some of Econet’s key assets, including its real estate, telecommunications towers and renewable energy assets.
However, the company said full details of both the delisting and the simultaneous InfraCo listing will only be made available once regulatory engagements are concluded.
“For now, shareholders are advised to continue exercising caution when dealing in the Company’s securities until a circular is published,” Ngowe said.
The announcement follows earlier cautionary statements issued on December 3 and December 15, 2025 signalling that discussions around the company’s future listing status were already underway.
This latest update confirms that those discussions have now formally progressed to engagement with the stock exchange.
For thousands of ordinary shareholders, the notice underscores a period of uncertainty and anticipation. Many retail investors rely on Econet shares as a long term store of value, making clarity on the company’s next steps critical to personal financial decisions.
Econet said a detailed circular to shareholders will be released once regulatory processes are complete, setting out the full terms and implications of the proposed transactions.
