Telkom wishes to respond to a financial press interview published on Thursday 9th February, 2006.
Telkom does not provide guidance on Headline Earnings Per Share (HEPS) and no guidance was given.
The 35% growth in HEPS refers to the results published for the period 1 April 2005 to 30 September,
2005.
As previously disclosed there is a moratorium on forced retrenchments in place to 31 March 2006.
Any extension of the moratorium is subject to current negotiations between Telkom and Telkom's
recognized labour Unions.
