Economic liberation or the lack thereof is the most divisive issue in the country, according to a survey.
Johannesburg - The Communication Workers' Union (CWU) asked Minister of Communication General Siphiwe Nyanda to appoint a commission to investigate allegations of irregularities and nepotism at Vodacom.
This call follows a report in the Sunday Times that Vodacom is trying to bottle up a KPMG forensic report.
The report apparently contains, among other issues, claims that former group chief executive Alan Knott-Craig used Vodacom's resources to his family's advantage.
These accusations include the charge that Knott-Craig's son, Alan Knott-Craig Junior, received millions of rands and office space to build and promote his business, and that a company belonging to family members received an exclusive marketing contract in an irregular manner.
But Knott-Craig has issued his own statement to say that he did nothing wrong and had at all times conducted himself with propriety.
In its own statement Vodacom confirmed that its shareholders (then Telkom and Vodafone) had requested an independent report in response to allegations by several former employees in 2008.
Eighteen allegations have apparently been investigated and two are considered worthy of further investigation.
