Sizwe Nxasana's intention not to renew his service contract which expires on 31 December 2005.
In accordance with Telkom's succession plan, the service contract requires a minimum notice

South Africa and NYSE.
Nomazizi has extended her sincere thanks to Sizwe for his significant contribution to the
success of the company and supports his decision to explore new challenges.
