The High Court ordered that Makate is entitled to five percent of the revenue generated by the return of calls, sent through the ‘Please Call Me’ platform. Vodacom wants this decision reversed. In responding to court papers before the Supreme Court of Appeal in Bloemfontein,He wants the SCA to dismiss Vodacom’s case with costs, including the costs of the two counsels.
