Item 1.
Security and Issuer

The following constitutes Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule 13D filed with respect to the common stock (“Shares”) of Lesaka Technologies, Inc. (formerly known as Net1 UEPS Technologies Inc.) (the “Issuer”) as previously filed on December 16, 2021, as amended by Amendment No. l filed on May 20, 2020, Amendment No.2 filed on October 9, 2020, Amendment No.3 filed on November 23, 2020, Amendment No. 4 filed on December 22, 2020. Amendment No. 5 filed on December 22, 2022, and Amendment No. 6 filed on November 18, 2022 (the “Schedule 13D”). Each Item below amends and supplements the information disclosed under the corresponding Item of the Schedule 13D. Unless otherwise indicated herein, capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the same meaning herein as are ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5(a)-(c) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

The information contained on the cover page of this Schedule 13D and the information set forth in Item 4 of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference.

The VCP Managed Funds hold an aggregate of 15,642,598 Shares, constituting 19.4% of the Issuer’s outstanding Shares. VCP, as investment manager of the VCP Managed Funds, holds sole dispositive and voting power over the Shares and, accordingly, may be deemed the beneficial owner of the reported securities.

The aggregate percentage of Shares beneficially owned by VCP is based upon 63,243,350 Shares outstanding as of September 11, 2024, as reported in the Issuer’s Form 10-K filed on September 11, 2024, as increased by 17,279,803 Shares issued on October 2, 2024, as reported in the Form 8-K filed by the Issuer on October 2, 2024. This Amendment No. 7 is being filed to reflect a change in the percentage previously reported solely as a result of the change in the outstanding Shares as reported by the Issuer. The Reporting Person has no other material changes in the information previously reported or transactions within the prior 60 days to disclose. Neither the filing of this Amendment No. 7 nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission by VCP that it is the beneficial owner of any of the Common Stock referred to herein for the purposes of Section 13(d) of the Act, or for any other purpose.
