Did Telkom buy Mweb?

Some guy at Telkom, told me that today.
Is this true?
I told him he is smoking crack.

False.

They bought MWEB-Africa and Africa Online and are busy merging the 2 into a single Afro-ISP.

MWEB was up for grabs, but was later taken off the market by Naspers.

I doubt they'd be allowed to buy MWEB as would that not be increasing their monopoly?

Telkom bought MWEB Africa - Telkom wants to expand into Africa.

No Offence to the Technician that mentioned this but is clearly shows the lack of Staff Training and Education of basic customer relations from Telkom.

Man, I sound like a Professor here. True though. What happened to their policies on educating their staff? Government promised them Millions for this. Go Figure.

Just wondering why Telkom technicians were talking about it now in May 2010 as per the OP as though it were something new.
