Telkom network overhaul halted by court MyZA

JOHANNESBURG, April 2 (Reuters) – South Africa’s Telkom
has been forced to stop a planned 13 billion rand
($1.69 billion) network overhaul after infrastructure provider
ZTE Mzansi won a court order on Friday to halt the project,
Business Day newspaper reported.

ZTE Mzansi, a joint venture between China’s ZTE Corp
and local black-owned companies, took Telkom to
court after being disqualified from a bidding process related to
the project, Business Day said on Monday.

Telkom said it was reviewing the court judgement.
