	UNI Telecom : More Telkom workers may lose their jobs
		Telkom said yesterday it was offering "voluntary severance packages" to about 1 700 employees countrywide who are in positions identified as duplicated or redundant.
		He said though the union was aware of the Telkom move, it believed the "voluntary process" would culminate in forced retrenchments.
		Telkom said the process was "purely voluntary, and is underpinned by an extensive social plan designed to assist staff to start their own small businesses, retire in financial security or prepare for alternative employment".

	IOL: Telkom accused of 'creating poverty'
		Three Telkom unions accused the telephone monopoly on Tuesday of undermining the government's mandate to create jobs and fight poverty by threatening to retrench workers and charging excessive call rates.
		Roodt postulated that if Telkom increased its rates by the world average, instead of much more than that, interest rates as well as inflation would have been one percent lower than they were today.
		Telkom said it noted "with interest the suggestion in the report that the company should further reduce its labour expenses by about R1,2-billion".

		However, Telkom responded by saying it was acting in a sufficiently consultative manner through continuing talks facilitated by the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA).
		Telkom said in a statement on Monday that it would honour the court judgment, but the moment the consultation process was over on September 14, it would start implementing the packages.
		Telkom insisted the severance packages were voluntary, but this was "a complete joke" said Dirk Hermann of Solidarity.

	IOL: Telkom warns businesses of bank scam
		Telkom has warned businesses to be on the alert after uncovering a potentially devastating multi-million-rand scam aimed at ripping off South African banks and government organisations.
		The scam, in which letters on Telkom letterheads were sent to a number of large private and public organisations advising them of a "new account" in which to deposit their payments to Telkom, could have seen millions end up in the hands of the syndicate behind the plot.
		Telkom spokesperson Xolisa Vapi said the fraudulent letters claimed the business's banking details would be changed as of November 11, 2002.

		He said Telkom was instead adopting a phased approach to the integration of new software and it was sourcing suppliers and solutions as and when required, as opposed to going the route of a single contract.
		The source said the problem was that, although Telkom's own IT staff had initially warned Telkom against the award of the contract to a single supplier, the board had simply gone ahead and awarded the contract to Telcordia anyway.
		Telkom and Telcordia were bound by a confidentiality agreement in terms of which the details of the arbitration hearing could be divulged.

	TELKOM: the new pyramid scheme?
		However, Telkom was given a "grace period", a fixed-line monopoly to prepare for liberalisation and, more importantly, to ensure that the developmental objective of rolling out phone connections to under-serviced areas could be achieved.
		But, sadly, as Telkom's own 2001-2 financial statement was forced to concede, only 667,039 of the 2.67 million lines delivered were still in service.
		According to Business Day: "In the wake of the recent carnage of telecommunications and technology stocks across the globe, analysts now put Telkom's valuation at about a third of the R100bn to R120bn estimate of two years ago." The proposed Telkom IPO before March 2003 will, therefore, be a knock-down bargain-basement fire-sale.

	Business Report - Transtel backs out of dispute with Telkom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		The dispute arose after Telkom cut off Transtel lines, leading Transtel to file a complaint against the former state telephone utility at the Independent Communications Authority of SA (Icasa) in terms of section 100 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
		Telkom's labour law executive, Anton Klopper, said Telkom considered the manner in which the complaint had been settled as "a capitulation by Transnet and vindicates Telkom's actions in discontinuing the services rendered to Transnet on the basis that the international telecommunication services provided by Transnet were illegal."
		Telkom, however, insisted that the activities cease with immediate effect, based on its views that the traffic was illegal.
