The feat cements Vodafone Ghana�s place as the leader in innovation and a company that provides a platform for technological empowerment in Ghana�s Telecoms industry.
Leti Arts, developers of the app, �Africa�s Legends�, swept the global award in the �Best Established Developer� category, beating Kenya, India, Tanzania and South Africa in the final.
The app developer participated in the competition having won in the same category at the Ghana event, which was held last year.

For their prize, Leti Arts will receive an all-expense paid trip to the 2015 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona as well as an opportunity to meet and interact with Vodafone Group�s Senior Management team. Additionally, their app will be featured in Vodafone�s retail stores all over the world.
