Is Telkom noy a Government company? if it is, this tells you how ignorant the Directors are and dont care what is going on, just enjoy drwing salaries, who is incharge of Telkom? Who appointed him/her?
R449milion who is going to pay that? and who is profiting here? or is State paying back to State? what a circus.
