Telkom sues Ramaphosa to stop investigation into shady deals

Telkom has launched a multi-part application in the Pretoria High Court asking for President Cyril Ramaphosa’s order that the SIU investigate suspicious deals at the company be declared unconstitutional and invalid.

The court papers seek an interdict blocking the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) from proceeding with its investigation, and an order setting aside Ramaphosa’s proclamation, Business Times reported.

Sjoe, someone really wants to protect their nest egg. Must be an ostrich egg by now.

Well either that, or someone will be proven to be a monumental tool.

Another state owned asset, employing thousands of people, pulled through the ANC's collective backside. So the running score is:

SARS: Check
Eskom: Check
SAA: Check
Denel: Check
Telkom: Check
Transnet: Check
PRASA: Check
84% of all municipalities: Check

Who is next?

/unsure who's side to be on here?

Cyril is a crook, but so is Telkom.

Cyril is a crook, but so is Telkom.

The link here is that everything the rodent infested cANCer touches turns to a pile of steaming shyt while getting looted in the process. These fat pig cadres don't know any other way.

When you have nothing to hide but still feels it's necessary to go to these lengths to stonewall the process, reminds me a little of Zuma's tactics.

Did this all happen on Sipho's watch? Never...

Telkom... the devil we don't need anymore thank the Pope!

 

[Grubscrew]

Telex?

No wonder Telkom quietly attempted a sale to MTN....

Transnet: Check

And Prasa. Will update it.

Would like to see the acquisition of BCX also investigated.

Telkom first needs to legally change its name to remove the SOC, but clearly someone at Telkom (past and/or present) is very worried about what the SIU will uncover, otherwise they would've just waited for the SIU to tell Ramaphosa that they don't have jurisdiction (which I suspect they arguably do).

Did this all happen on Sipho's watch? Never...

Speaking of Sipho, it's time for his fake number plate crimes to be punished.

Nah, just the cloned number plates, the rest is clean..

Can you imagine how shady those deals must be that you actually sue someone to not get it investigated.

I would bet there's some pretty creative accounting going on too.

Maseko joined Telkom in mid 2013. Multilinks was 2011 and iWayAfrica in 2013, so I don't believe you can lay either of these at his door.

Telex and telegram services - in the 21st century ?

Where there's smoke, there's fire. If there was nothing to worry about, Telkom would be pushing for this to go through the courts faster.
