Under the terms of the transaction, the group's subsidiary Airtel Tanzania would continue to develop, maintain and operate its equipment on the towers under a separate lease arrangement with the SBA Communications.
Around $60m million of the proceeds would be used to 'invest in network and sales infrastructure in Tanzania and for distribution to the Government of Tanzania,' the company said.
'The balance of the proceeds will be used to reduce debt at group level.'
