Vodacom could be liable to pay anything between R29 and R55 billion to Nkosana Makate.
The protracted legal tussle between Vodacom and"Please Call Me" inventor -- Nkosana Makate -- will finally be heard by the Supreme Court Appeal.. This is much higher than the previous assumptions that were based on Makate’s earlier demand of at least R20 billion and the High Court filings.
A local online publisher, MyBroadband revealed that the Supreme Court of Appeal, which handed down its decision on the 6th of February, in effect, suggested this range of compensation based on different revenue models it looked at.
