WATCH LIVE: Strive Masiyiwa's Companies Face Collapse

Liquid Intelligent Technologies: The $750M Debt Crisis The Strive Masiyiwa-led telecom giant is racing against a ticking clock to restructure its massive debt load. Here is the breakdown of the situation: The Financial Pressure Credit Downgrade: Moody’s recently slashed Liquid’s rating to Caa2, signaling "very high credit risk." The Debt Wall: Two major deadlines loom: $131 million due in February 2026 and a $620 million bond maturing in September 2026. Refinancing Risks: High interest rates mean new loans will be significantly more expensive, threatening future cash flow. The Rescue Strategy Asset Sales: The group is divesting non-core assets to raise a targeted $100 million. STANLIB Deal: In a major move (Jan 2026), STANLIB Infrastructure Fund II received a recommendation to acquire a minority stake in Africa Data Centres (ADC) to inject much-needed capital. Equity Injections: The parent company, Cassava Technologies, aims to raise a total of $185 million in equity to bolster Liquid's balance sheet. The Bigger Picture Connectivity Giant: Despite the debt, Liquid remains Africa's largest independent fiber operator with over 110,000km of network. Structural Split: The crisis is largely contained within the Cassava Technologies pillar, keeping the traditional Econet Wireless mobile operations (like in Zimbabwe) relatively insulated. Going Concern Risk: Directors have officially flagged "material uncertainty" regarding the company's ability to continue if the refinancing plan fails.
