Telkom's first partnership with a theatre company brought a major South African story "The Lion King" home, demonstrating its engagement with South Africans' across all communities.

The Business Day / Business and Arts Sponsorship Awards (BASA) recognize businesses that make the most effective and innovative use of arts sponsorships. Last night, at the 2007 BASA Award ceremony, Telkom won it's their first BASA Award in the category "International Sponsorship: For a company bringing an international arts project to South Africa." Telkom's first partnership with a theatre company brought a major South African story "The Lion King" home, demonstrating its engagement with South Africans' across all communities.

The Lion King Production changed the face of local theatre and has attracted bigger audiences than any production previously staged in South Africa. The show succeeded in crossing age, race and cultural divides. South African's from all walks of life flocked to see it, embodying the spirit of the Rainbow Nation. Yet another barrier through which the Lion King has broken is the poverty line. The show was not only accessible to theatre-goers who could afford to pay the tickets. It also reached 38 000 disadvantages children, few of whom had ever set foot in a theatre before.

Financial Mail

Telkom SA Limited takes the lead in the procurement ranking in the 2008 Top Empowerment Companies (TEC) by survey of 2008 by Financial Mail

In all this Top Empowerment Companies becomes a voice of reason. Numbers do not lie. At least not to the extent reflected in emotionally charged debates on empowerment. A joint project between the FM and BEE rating agency Empowerdex, TEC is compiled by applying the broad-based BEE scorecard on companies listed on the main board of the JSE. Then a TEC list is produced in this publication. The data, collected and collated by Empowerdex, is complemented by in-depth editorial coverage provided by FM journalists. What emerges is a mix of quantitative and qualitative analysis of BEE trends within a given year.

The bulk of TEC data is based on information voluntarily supplied by listed enterprises. Where enterprises did not respond to our call for data, TEC relies on publicly available sources of information such as annual reports.
