Unclassified AFRINIC
Summary
Vodacom Business Africa Group
business enterprise connectivity africa
The AS handle vodacom-business is held by Vodacom Business Africa Group (PTY) Ltd.
What it's used for
- The space carries enterprise connectivity services, as indicated by the holder's role as an ICT subsidiary providing managed fixed and mobile connectivity.
- The inventory consists of 4 IPv4 prefixes totaling 1024 addresses, with 7 observed neighbours, suggesting a role focused on enterprise access and service delivery rather than bulk residential traffic.
Notable
- All RDAP registrants for the announced prefixes are listed as unknown, which does not contradict the registry holder identity.
- The operator was formerly known as Gateway Business Africa, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Vodacom Group, which was rebranded and fully integrated in 2011.
- The address inventory is small and fragmented into four /24 blocks, consistent with a specialized enterprise service provider rather than a large-scale access network.

Classification and threat
Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.
Spamhaus DROP
Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.
No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.
Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 442 networks and 1,773 prefixes, as published 2026-10-13. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.
FBI IC3
No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.
IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
