The protracted court battle over the Please Call Me service looks to be getting more complicated as multinationals look to get involved.

International mobile giant Vodafone is reportedly trying to get involved in the local ‘Please Call Me’ saga, which could see Vodacom on the hook for up to R63 billion.that Vodafone, the majority shareholder in Vodacom, has applied to be a friend of the court in the ongoing legal battle between Makate and Vodacom over the Please Call Me service.

The protracted 20-year legal battle has been going back-and-forth between various courts, with the Constitutional Court now again expected to bring finality to the case. Vodacom did not share Makate’s views on how much revenue the service generated or how much he deserved. The courts, however, sided with Makate on the matter.

After averaging the two models with the highest values, he came up with an offer of R47 million. However, Makate rejected this as well, and the matter again ended up in court again.
