A question for the subs: Does this headline mean “Telkom let us German consulate down”, “The German consulate that belongs to ‘Telkom let’” or perhaps “Telkom lets German consulate down”?

I could do with a sub. Thanks.

Telkom lets German consulate down.

gut one, time someone takes action, services sucks here, people dont know how to deliver, we must always pay for ****** service…..

That is a lame excuse – why rely on Telkom for a phone line these days when there are alternative service providers (Neotel, Vox, Vodacom, MTN….). I think the Germans are being their narrow minded, inflexible selves…..

Hellkom, just being true to form.

Oh for Pete’s sake, don’t the Gerries know how to use a cell phone?

Pathetic excuss. Maybe they have been in SA too long cause now they are pulling the same trick as SA Home Afairs!

I am sorry but they are within their right to do this.

Telkom is pathetic to say the least

No wonder i am leaving South Africa on Friday – My skills and expertise in the USA are not based on colour but rather on the ability of me to deliver on my competencies – Failure to deliver will result in me having no job – hence an empty stomach – When will the politician in ZAR wake up?

It is very negative but sadly true, service in SA is to put it mildly poor, to call the germans names is also sad, it is their right to complain about a service that they don’t get but pay for. The guy jumping the boat, I am also a qualified person but who have learned from others experiences that SA is today one of the loveliest places to be in the world. The US has seen there behinds, and it is sad that you think it is a better future prospect, the best of luck for you. I hope more institutions will start putting the blame where it belongs, it will maybe pull the SA worker out of their misconception that the client is their solely because of dependency for their poor services that they deliver.

I live in an established up-market part of pretoria and telkom swear they can’t assist with a line, because my area is too new?!? My neighbours have telkom lines? It’s pathetic.
