A Media Marriage Made In Heaven


Is Telkom unbunbling itself in a move to ultimately transform itself in a Media company. Is a giant rival on the cards to rival the Naspers Multichoice Juggernaut? Maybe!

Imagine this: a streamlined shell of Telkom with pockets bulging with R100 billion in cash. That's how much they would get having shed their fixed line and 50% stake in Vodacom.

And then?

Well, perhaps Johncom - who are already streamlining their own portfolio - and Caxtons and why not throw in eTV (with their Warner Alliance) for a 'deal of the century'. And voila: TJC Communications (Telkom, Johnnic + Caxton).

Stranger things have happened, and the ball is in play.
