According to the unit, the court’s Gauteng Division in Pretoria found Telkom is not a state institution and therefore, the SIU could not probe its affairs. “Considering the judgement, the SIU is of the view that a clarification on what constitutes a state institution is important and will further strengthen the work of the SIU in rooting out corruption and maladministration in the administration of all state institutions.
