Brain drain at Telkom

Telkom recently released its financial results for the year ended 31 March 2018, which showed a big decline in headline earnings per share.

As a result of lower earnings and it struggling to hold on to its fixed-line customers, Telkom cut its annual dividend by 16% to R3.55 per share.

Telkom isn't a parastatal.

Title is an oxymoron.

And Zoltan....for sure a loss for Telkom and a gain for MTN.

Agree with this

What a BS article. Telkom actually had good results. Their mobile side is up almost 50% and fibre to home not doing badly also up. They are doing a good job to position away from traditional land lines that is going the way of the dinosaurs.

This seems like someone who doesn't know anything about the business wrote this article. At least consult with someone that knows a bit about economics or business/accounting.

And the executives jumping ship because they didn't want the business to change is a good thing.

Agree 100%. Just look at previous and current results. This change is more like the Swamp Drain trump promised DC.

A lot is changing at the organization and this is just the start.

I wasn't aware that Telkom had any executives... Effective ones that is. Those that they lost is inconsequential, they were just cheque collectors anyway.
