Vodacom Lesotho started operating locally in 1996 with the Government of Lesotho as a shareholder through its stake in Lesotho Telecommunications Corporation. When the Government of Lesotho began its privatisation process in 1999, it invited bids for this share in Vodacom Lesotho. In July 2000, Sekha-Metsi Consortium, a grouping of local business people and public figures, was announced as the successful bidder.

Sekha-Metsi holds a 12% share in Vodacom Lesotho and the remaining share is held by Vodacom Group.
