Telkom, a state-owned company headquartered in South Africa, was founded in 1991 and employs approximately 15,130 individuals. The company provides broadband IT solutions over both fixed and mobile networks, offering managed data solutions used by large, corporate, and global companies in Southern Africa, alongside broadband internet and voice services for fixed residential and small/medium business customers within the country.
Telkom is investing in robust infrastructure, innovative technologies, and proactive network management to enhance network resilience and ensure reliable connectivity for customers, according to Lebo Masalesa, Managing Executive: Mobile Networks, on February 19, 2026. Previously, on February 18, a report highlighted the continued struggle of Telkom's BCX acquisition, purchased for R2.7 billion in 2015, which has yet to fulfill its expected future nearly 11 years later. Earlier, on February 17, Telkom intensified its cybersecurity strategy, led by Chief Digital and Information Officer Dr. Noxolo Kubheka-Dlamini, to protect South African businesses and consumers against escalating digital threats. This follows the company's February 16 report of an 8.4% increase in third-quarter core profit, driven by ongoing cost-cutting measures and a 7.2% rise in mobile service revenue as consumers purchased more data bundles.
