JOHANNESBURG – Parastatal Telkom intends to axe 3 000 of its workers as it grapples with increasing debt and a decline in the fixed-voice market in a tight economy. In a formal notice issued to organised labour on Wednesday,
Alfie Ngubo, Telkom’s group executive for employee relations, said in the letter the retrenchments would impact its support employees, specialists, supervisors and managers in the Openserve, consumer business, small and medium business, and the Telkom corporate centre divisions. “For Telkom to survive the current and anticipated tough trading conditions - forecast to deteriorate in the short to medium term - it is imperative to seek and implement measures to drastically reduce costs, eliminate efficiencies and improve operational and financial performance to secure its continued commercial viability and, therefore, security for the majority of employees,” Ngubo said in the letter.
He said the deteriorating economic climate, increased operational regulatory and competitive constraints, and the rapid migration from fixed voice to data had hurt the business.
