Lawyers for Vodacom have served Gauteng education MEC Panyaza Lesufi with a cease-and-desist document, warning him to stop commenting on its ongoing battle with “Please Call Me” inventor Nkosana Makate.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.

Vodacom they are waisting money they should be paying an inventor on legal fees

Now we must start a HandsOffLesufi Movement. You cant stop this...

Freedom of expression

If Vodacom owes the money the whole country thinks it should pay the inventor.

JeleJele89 Wrong move...

im not quiting any network mina, but i am going to crash up at vodacom store

Lol😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lusufa is just another ANC MP who believes his above the law because they've got the justice department in their pockets, not condoning Vodacoms actions as we all don't really know the details, but it's not governments/ministers place to intervene!

The MEC needs to know his place. He has disrupted Eldo's schools, now he wants to call his thugs against Vodacom regardless of a Court order. A repeat of his actions against schools against whom the Courts have ruled against him. What a digital joke!

Vodacom is so lame!

Vodacom just pay Nkosana.....simple

Those lawyers should serve me too. Why panyaza alone. They are insane in the membrane.

Corporations always use 'our Lawyers' to intimidate everyone. Same reason Why they have dragged this issues for this Long, thought Lawyers could make it go away.

Another Agrizzi with a huge chip on his shoulder.

Can i also be served because at 10:01 i will be sending smses showing people how to port from Vodacom Vodacom ... Lesufi we are with you, they must serve all of us.. paymakate NkosanaMakate pay

We will not be deterred Viva!

And then where is freedom of speech

Lesufi you must just shut up!

Who is going to pay your legal costs on this matter Mec?

R35 billion for Nkosana. Ningacali.

Vodacom Why not pay up and just close this matter?

What.The.Fuck?

Vodacom rather go to Hell!.interesting to see movement behind Makate gaining momentum,Vodacom vs SA. ne

To Hell with Vodacom! Bring it on, we will shutdown the bloody network!

They must pay

Vodabom forget it. Intimidation or lawyers you’ll feel the wrath

He acts as if he's the overseer of whatever needs overseeing in this country. Meanwhile he doesn't react upon calls of possible corruption by a governing body of a school in Pretoria. I suppose the teachers would have to call on Corruption watch and the media to solve it!

Dogg_Dbn ShutDownVodacom that's the only language they understand ....

Abramjee 'Bring it in'. Was that not the same words the racist Lucifer sequeled just before they got their asses kicked in the Schweizer-Reneke case?

The is no ongoing battle Vodacom must pay the court ordered them to pay him....nine bomsunu kanyoko with twisting the headlines

Not to worry Lesufi is just trying to catch shine with ANC voters and his political handlers .

Pay the money do the right thing VodacomPayMakate Vodacom

He’s not the inventor, doesn’t deserve a cent

For how long this engagement should continue? Vodacom jst need a push of a different king. You cant negotiate forever

I hope Lesufi knows that someone else (Khan/MTN) actually invented this service before Vodacom started using it. Where is the popcorn

Nxa. What happened to freedom of speech. They are useless

The blatant racism disputed by these comments are disgusting. Govt has no part in private / civil litigation. Those commenting here have ZERO facts of the case , yet think they can make judgement ? - this equals anarchy - let the courts decide. That's what they there for

GustavKlopper Is Lesufi trying to suspend him? Idiot!

They must serve the whole South Africa. Well all making the same noise. I will be glad to give them my address

Ha ha ha typical Lesufi defiant CRAP WHAT A DOOS

Vodacom you will regret this.

Black Lawyers are being abused for money

My advice to the MEC would be to “cease and desist’ from his conduct on this matter

Vodacom, just pay mr makate...😉

vodacomustfall finish and Klaar

Lesufi the fight against Vodacom is not just your fight or that of the movement. It's one for all of us all for the injustices we still experience on a daily basis by this bully companies. PayMakate VodacomPayMakate VodaPayHim

Okare vodacom etla ka dichila.

Let's Shut it down people✊🏾

WaSwele Vodacom should do the right thing payback PleaseCallMe

Ft q

KhandaniM Vodacom may end up serving legal papers to tens of thousand of disgusted SAns who're in support of Makate!

Banxilile lamasela

Vodacom pay back the money

pietmeis1234 The nerve and the liver of Vodacom bathong!

I have never seen ' a cease-and-desist-document'. I want to see it delivered to my doorstep. Hahahaha

Dear Vodacom foetsek! Panyaza is supporting the sun of the soil. Why u don't pay the African child?

They crazy lol

Comrade Panyasa, I am behind you. For your information Vodacom, I have already ported to another network, and busy influencing other users to follow suite. I am just awaiting the deadline then start the campaign

VodaPayHim! HandsOffLesufi!

Here's the reality for Vodacom all Lesufi can do is be quite but the ball is already rolling

snowy_burger01 Vat hom!

This makes no sense... they will have to serve the same to the hundreds of SAns that are commenting and adding their voice to the issue.

Lesufi has the right to fight for injustice that's why he's a leader. You can't silence freedom of speech and association as enshrined in the constitution. This a just cause

Vodacom is undermining this guy because of skin colour. Let be realistic if it was another colour we wouldn't be discussing this matter. That's why we need to work hard to bring back the dignity of the African people!

One would think Lesufi has enough to fix in the education field but hey.....his nose is so big he may as well stick it into other business. He is such a fool.

If we share those billions I 'll join.

Vodacom serve all of us with the cease and desist documents please.Why are you specifically have targeting Lesufi

Kwa kwa....

He claims he was detained by the old regime proof it !Lesufi

Even the choice of words 'cease and desist'...reminds me of apartheid days of threats and intimidation style towards vulnerable black people and those who were in solidarity with them......can't fathom Vodacom stoops so low...are they showing their true colours perhaps...

Acting on personal capacity!

I join the chorus. Can Vodacom 'please call me'?

Vodacom must only pay Nkosana finish n klaar,I will also do Sim swap I tell u.

Seemingly Vodacom and it's lawyers are involved in scare tactics against the MEC and their malevolent tactics should not be left unchallenged. This issue is on the public domain and every SAn can comment on it. Most importantly Mr Makate deserves justice.

PleaseCallMe PleasecallMeMovement VodacomPayMakate VodaPayHim PayMakate

Hhay suka pay back the money

He will have to serve the papers to ALL the Black people in South Africa. Makate is one of our own, we're going to fight them tooth and nail shem

Abramjee Lesufi let them come we are ready fo them vodacom ya tella

danielcoetzee12 Give him the presidential trearment. Sharrup

Your arrogancy would not do justice but a failure in this fight that is not yours.

Looks like Lesufi like poking his nose in everyones business EXCEPT his own.

Rightly so. He should keep himself busy with his portfolio, or is there money involved?

Haibo

He’s a comrade ,you can’t silence a comrade.

Lesufi ai Sir ill have to find my MTN sim-all hands on deck

It's time to port our numbers and they will catch a wake up. They are very arrogant

Lesufi Vodacom CEO..his name is Mohamed Shameel Joosub. As-Salaam Alaykum. 🙃

EFFSouthAfrica Julius_S_Malema guys a son of the soil is being exploited! Please act on this matter with immediate urgency

Where are the Minsters of communication and Minster of justice.

Lesufi We support you Lesufi, let them come. I have already cancelled my contract with them, greedy bleksems

Its fine cde Panyaza you have paved the way for us. lets see if they'll serve all of us with court orders even us their clients PleaseCallMe

So they'd rather spend millions on Lawyers than paying the poor Guy... yah neh

Vodacom has more than a hundred thousand people they employ with families and dependants. But ooohhh no lets ruin another business for one mans greed.. but hey thats how this country operate.. as long has he gets is money hey... greed greed greed..

Baseless litigation

they must serve the whole country with that document ...

We stand with Lesufi

Really Vodacom really? I support the MEC 100% here. Lesufi. I think Vodacom you must just deal with this matter the correct way, finish en klaar. Ag nee SIES Vodacom. Kry julle nie skaam NIE?

Panyaza is too fast

Futsek vodacom kago mura

Goed soo

We know that Vodacom is in the business of getting people talking but they will regret it if they don't pay him by tomorrow.

Shem hand him a mirror

Lesufi Where are other leaders? Ume njalo Lesufi

Vodacom is just full greedy racists agrizzi's nje same WhatsApp group

About time someone tells these politicians to focus on what they do/ruin. Keep your nose out of business.

The public must put pressure on Vodacom like we did with Momentum VodacomPayMakate

Vodacom must trend until Mr Nkosana Makate is paid.

If Lesufi was an EFF member they wouldn't intimidate him..their stores would be closed by now😒😒

Bring it on, with Ur bullying tactics we c u..and watch the space as u are indirectly mobilising us to stop doing business with u.KaizerChiefs UP_THE_BUCS

😳 un-be-lie-va-ble! Vodacom thinks this is a damn banana republic. They've been robbing us now they want to tell us what to do too! I think the ANC must not act decisively

Warning him? Wow, the nerve of Vodacom, hence why I've left it along with my gf as of today. Ya'll been undermining black excellence for far too long now, this shit is where it ends. Pay Makate whats due to him

We are commenting so wat oksalayo vodacom must be shut down finish n clarrr

ThobsSim The arrogance. Sheer arrogance!

Lesufi It is not about Lesufi and makate_nkosana Vodacom must serve all of us

Serves him right SA politicians are such populists.They should stick to the mandate of their office!!

ConCourt le yona e tshaba WMC man! Why didn't they make a ruling on quantum due to Nkosana Makate instead of deferring the matter back to snakes and bullies called Vodacom, to work out reasonable compensation? ConCourt let Makate down. They must correct this injustice

Really Vodacom ya makatsa instead of paying this deserving guy what is due to him, you create unnecessary issues.. What happened to freedom of speech and supporting one another on a public platform nogaal.. Vodacom is just a mess nje..

i agree

They must stop wasting Nkosanas money on cease and desist's... They must pay the man then there will be no more comments

Lesufi Asinavalo, Lesufi is not captured

They Must Also Warn Us And See What Will Happen .

Lesufi Makunyiwe once!!! VodaPayHim

Lesufi Vodacom don’t worry about Mr Lesufi u need to deal with us ur customers. I Am going to act with no fear tomorrow until u.

Lesufi The question is what has Makate offed you Lesufi I think the SAPoliceService need to look at this, a politician abusing his position for what can only be financial gain. You do know makate_nkosana has sold this claim all around town. This is why R50m is not enough.

Meaning am also gonna get those paper

Lesufi Ask them about this

Fokof vodacom must pay

CoruscaKhaya His Twitter was hacked

Hhe madoda! This can only mean Lesufi has struck the correct cords! The least we can do is to pile on the pressure on this pathetic Vodacom

CoruscaKhaya Hebanna the arrogance is on steroids,have no relationship with Vodacom in anyway but I will influence anyone that I know

Why can't Lesufi mind his own business, and stay out of matters that do not concern self or his employer? Vodacom

CoruscaKhaya Vodacom a s tlo re nyela.

What happened to freedom of speech? Or is it limited to certain issues... We can talk about state capture or all other current affairs but can't talk about 'Vodacom vs Please call me'?

Lesufi Good luck with that to Vodacom. There’s something called “free speech”

Lesufi Defiance is a perfect tool to remedy injustice. ⚖️

Helang!

Vodacom needs to honestly just own up, pay and move on. It's 2019 ao

We are also commenting if Vodacom is serious about serving notices it must serve the rest of us

Lesufi 😂😂😂😂really Vodacom,so we must not support a fellow citizen who deserves.

'Vigilantism - law enforcement undertaken without legal authority by a self-appointed group of people.' Better known as mob justice or kangaroo courts. They decide, based on their prejudicial emotions, how much is payable, and then want to blackmail Vodacom under threat to pay.

When you young and black you always the target of the system... Vodacom is now splashing millions if not billions on lawyers just not to pay the few millions or billions owed to our fellow creative African brother... Nie man..

Lesufi Since when do govt officials get invloved in private litigations? MYANC CyrilRamaphosa tito_mboweni . I dont agree with Vodacom but Lesufi is out of line.

The arrogance of Vodacom is shocking

Lesufi Mxm Vodacom thinks they own this country

Julius_S_Malema silence is too loud in this matter.

Why can't they just pay...

We stand by our leader in-fact we call all our credible leaders of society Lesufi Julius_S_Malema LebogangMaile1 FloydShivambu MbalulaFikile mzwandileMasina AdvBarryRoux Vodacom to intensify the support for Makate. MmusiMaimane we know your baas won’t allow you Actor 😅

Vodacom very disrespectful and undermining. We'll see as time goes but intimidation & that arrogance from Vodacom not be accepted by masses

You know Vodacom you are so greedy cheeky and bold it baffles the mind. Its easy to spend millions on lawyers BUT not Makate! Vodacom please serve us all with the same document PayMakate

I thought vodacom matter was a private one...has he finished with education problems..

Panyaza Lesufi to visit school where schoolboy fight was caught on videoGauteng education MEC Panyaza Lesufi will on Friday visit a school in southern Johannesburg where one boy was filmed assaulting a fellow learner in a video that aired on social media on Thursday. Pupils fight every day in our township schools and he never visited.. What so special about this school or maybe its because it was an interracial fight thats why is so important to him.. Our young black boys should train hard and eating useless meals Why does Mr Lesufi never visit schools that have problems with lack of infrastructure, lack of books, over full classrooms, no furniture, or even maybe schools that are working their butt off to make things work against the odds?
