Telkom wins legal battle as court halts Ramaphosa's bid for SIU probe | Business

The high court has declared President Cyril Ramaphosa's 2022 proclamation for a SIU probe into alleged unlawful conduct by Telkom and some of its employees and agents"unconstitutional, invalid and of no force".

The investigation was into alleged maladministration, irregular and unapproved procurement and misappropriation of public funds. Among the complaints to be investigated was an alleged irregular relationship between Telkom and some of its suppliers, including Network Telex and a contract with British Telekom.

It contended that the president had also neglected to give Telkom an opportunity to make representations ahead of the proclamation. The wide powers vested with no limits in the president by the SIU Act made it possible for abuse to occur.
