Going through hellkom i came across a fact i must have previously missed .
Who is "SBC" described below ?

Telkom is a founding member of Proudly South African, even though:
- They were managed until end 2004 by Americans from SBC who dictated pricing

- They are contributing to our rampant unemployment by firing 10% of their staff every year - in fact they have almost HALVED their workforce since '99!

- They are the most expensive Telecoms provider in the world [Telecoms Report]

- Over 80% of the population cannot afford their basic telephone service.
 
So those yanks are to blame for the years of exploitation of south african citizens ?
 
Nope our government is to blame for letting them manage Telkom. SBC did what ANY company would do given a monopoly to play with. Now that SBC are no longer invested in Telkom things have not improved at all and in fact we're being exploited more than ever!
 
No please keep them the **** away.. thanks.
