FEDICS TO FEED TELKOM

BLACK-owned corporate catering firm Fedics has been awarded a five-year contract to run over 21 catering sites that collectively serve more than 11000 Telkom staff in Gauteng, Telkom announced on Tuesday. Telkom spokeswoman Amanda Singleton said the contract is expected to generate a turnover of about R20-million a year. The remaining 36 Telkom catering sites, most of which are in outlying parts of the country and serve 19000 employees, will also be offered to Fedics on a first right of refusal basis which will expire on April 30.
