Dot Field leaves Vodacom

The company's CEO Pieter Uys said Field had been with the company for over 15 years and had made an enormous contribution to the success of Vodacom. "Dot is well known for her excellent relationships with the media, is widely respected as a consummate communications professional and known as the voice and face of Vodacom. We have accepted her resignation in recognition of her need to pursue her own business interests," he said.

Field said she felt it was time for a break and new career challenges. "I joined Vodacom a few months before we started commercial operations in 1994 and it has been an exhilarating ride, but also very demanding. I have decided to take some time out to consider a number of different options and wish Vodacom every success in the future," she said.
