A bid to halt Telkom’s sale of its 15% stake in cellular operator Vodacom was dismissed with costs in the High Court in Pretoria on Thursday.
Telkom, Vodacom, Vodafone and the Department of Communications are being taken to court by the Communication Workers’ Union, it said on Friday.
Telkom has agreed to offer workers a salary increase of 11,5%, said the Communications Workers’ Union on Saturday.
Telkom will resume wage negotiations on Thursday with two trade unions, following a stayaway which lasted for three days.
Telkom said on Friday that only about 2 500 employees, or 16% of those represented in wage talks, had heeded union calls to down tools.
Telkom workers from two South African communication industry trade unions will go on strike from August 1 to 5 over wage demands.
