Ex-Vodacom colleagues reunited

MTN has appointed Enzo Scarcella as chief operating officer of its South Africa unit, reuniting him with incoming chief executive Rob Shuter, according to sources. Scarcella, 46, was moving to MTN from his position as chief marketing officer of Telkom, the sources said. He will be a familiar face for Shuter, who is scheduled to arrive at MTN next year, as the two worked together until 2014 at Vodacom. Scarcella declined to comment when contacted by phone. “Enzo Scarcella has resigned to pursue a new career opportunity,” Telkom spokeswoman Jacqui O’Sullivan said by e-mail. His departure was announced to employees of Pretoria- based Telkom by chief executive Sipho Maseko, she said. Scarcella is one of several high-level managers brought in by MTN ahead of Shuter’s arrival. MTN shares fell 0.51 percent yesterday to close at R120.63. – Bloomberg
