Vodacom Group appeals to South Africa's Constitutional Court against a ruling to pay ex-employee Kenneth Makate billions for his 'Please Call Me' service idea.

Vodacom Group has appealed to South Africa's Constitutional Court to challenge a Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) ruling that it must pay former employee Kenneth Makate billions of rand in compensation for a calling service idea he proposed over two decades ago. The company claims the ruling is flawed and would have a severe impact on its operations in South Africa and the attractiveness of the country as an investment destination. The case involves compensation for Makate's 'Please Call Me' calling service idea he proposed to the company's product-development team in the 2000s while a member of the finance division.
