Safaricom, Kenya's biggest telecoms firm, is a model of how technology can be used to financially include millions of people with mobile telephones but without access to traditional infrastructure such as the banks that are available to the wealthy or those living in cities. Safaricom in 2007 pioneered its M-Pesa mobile money transfer technology, now used across Africa, Asia and Europe. It proved that money can be made from people who earn a few dollars a day.

The shares are up about 30 percent so far this year. Curro's stock shed 0.83 percent to close on 11.70 rand. REUTERS/Siphiwe Sibeko - GF10000166735
