September must fall on his sword

ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa), 22 February 2009 

The Telkom CEO, Reuben September, must do the honorable thing and fall on his proverbial sword. This comes after a flood of allegations relating to corruption has surfaced with a choir of voices callingfor his removal from office.

Smelling a dead rat…

It is no secret that ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) has a strong suspicion that September & Kie is hiding something, especially after Telkom recently went the extra mile to remove Motlatsi Nzeku, the company’s Chief of Operations, from office.

The above came after Telkom accused Nzeku of ‘…underperformance and for behaviour damaging to Telkom’s reputation’ (Telkom fires operations chief amid talk of corruption, Business Day, Lesley Stones, 7 February 2009). It is however known that Nzeku had been opposed to September’s restructuring plans, which include plans to outsource between 80% and 90% of Telkom’s operations. One can understand why September & Kie decided to get rid of him because Nzeku presented a real danger to their plans. The irony is that Nzeku now probably presents a greater danger to their plans, especially if one considers the risk for September & Kie contained in what ADSL South Africa (Broadband South Africa) has coined The Nzeku Dossier. The dossier contains allegations against September relating to corporate governance, mismanagement, breach of procurements, et cetera.
