In August, Makate launched a review application of the R47m compensation final offer made by Vocadom following protracted negotiations with the company.

He is now asking the court to compel Joosub and Vodacom, first and second respondents respectively, to provide him with documents they used to conclude on his compensation. The documents Makate is seeking include extracts of a report by audit firm KPMG, which was compiled after Vodacom shareholders had requested an investigation"due to two whistle-blowers disclosing various serious poor governance and intellectual property issues at Vodacom".

Makate also listed a summary of revenue and customer numbers from Vodacom's annual reports of between 1997 and 2006, as one of the documents he wanted access to. He said his lawyers had requested all these documents to no avail.

Take 1Billion and call it a day...Vodcacom has enuf money to keep this in court for years...this man needs to focus on living his life, not living in courtrooms for the rest of his life

It is his IP and Vodacom must give him what he deserve. If they profited billions then he must be compensated in billions.

He will end up getting nothing

Jaa he's must just take the offer otherwise he will up getting nothing

Amasimba la ka Vodacom

Better take it and move on bro

I want to do business with Vodacom but even I think the offer is too low... Shouldn't they give him portion of the call made from please call me. Double that for each time it's used by other networks.

He must just take it cause he might die with nothing.

Just take the money. You’re lucky to get anything. When you are employed by a company your IP becomes theirs. It’s why they pay you.

Money is evil

Please call me is or was a good thing but times have changed the guy must just take the offer and start a business. Come to think of it, it's free to send please call me... Makate we appreciate you man but the attention is going to kill you

With greed you will land up with nothing..Maybe it’s better!

It should atleast be R1 billion
