    Safaricom is celebrating its 20th birthday this year with a 20 year challenge using the #TumetokaMbali hashtag. Netizens have been reminiscing about how Safaricom has evolved since inception with adverts and photos of the company then and now. The telecom was there from the advent of the mobile phone eruption in the country and has undergone meticulous advancement towards the creation of a digitized nation.

    Some of the photos and videos shared online have stirred nostalgia and interest in social media. Safaricom’s old adverts, phones and gadgets have been dug out of the archives and shared online as people compare them with some of their latest inventions.
