Public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane ruled in favour of ‘Please Call Me’ inventor Nkosana Makate, above.Public protector Busisiwe Mkhwebane has found the auditors regulatory body guilty of maladministration in a complaint brought by the “Please Call Me” inventor.

Nkosana Makate, who is embroiled in a legal battle with Vodacom over the cellphone feature, asked Mkhwebane to investigate the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors . Makate accused the regulator of delay in finalising a complaint he had lodged with it in 2018, relating to the Vodacom matter. Makate reported the regulator to the public protector in January 2020.

He said he had asked the regulator to investigate the “liability disclosure of Vodacom Ltd with regard to the ‘Please Call Me’ matter”. Makate, among others, asked Irba to investigate “possible misstatement in the audited annual financial statements of Vodacom … relating to the extent of liabilities disclosed”. He also asked the regulator to investigate “concealment of possible criminality to the detriment of shareholders, such as investors, pension funds” ... and “misleading statements contained in Vodacom’s pre-listing statement [prospectus]”.

𝐈 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐈 𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐭𝐫ial with Renee_tasker 𝐚𝐧𝐝 ever since then I have not had any issues of scam all thanks to Renee_tasker 𝐬𝐮𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐝𝐫𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐥.

I think the next body that must be taken to the PublicProtector is the CSOS_SA . Bad decisions that come very late.

Mr Makate is officially my new role model. This man fought Vodacom for over 2 decades and still the fight is on for the 10b He deserves. Talk about never giving up ey. He shares a similar story to Robert Kearns, who had his invention stolen by Ford & Chrysler, but won at the end.

Our Public Protector runs a parallel court elevating herself to a Chief Justice.we will soon have Mkhwebane Commission of inquiry with findings that are different from the one led by DCJ Zondo
