Johannesburg - Telecommunications group Telkom (TKG) on Friday confirmed the exit of its group CEO Reuben September but it provided no details as to why September would be stepping down.
The company said September would retire from his position and resign his directorship at the expiry of his contract in November 2010.
Business Day reported on Friday that September's departure was prompted by "ongoing interference" from board chairman Jeff Molobela, as representative of the
government, Telkom's largest shareholder.
September served Telkom for more than 33 years and was group CEO of Telkom from November 2007.
During his tenure September led the disposal of the 50% interest in Vodacom, the restructure of the group, launch of its Data Centre Operations branded as Cybernest
and the decision to take the company into the mobile sector later this year.
Telkom said a successor would be announced in due course.
