Telkom SA Limited: Job Vacancy for Telecoms Product Developer (South Africa)

Telkom is Africa's largest integrated communications company, providing integrated communications solutions to an entire range of customers. Telkom's passion is to become world-class. In this section you will find detailed company information, investment opportunities and an insight into Telkom's community upliftment programs. On starting out 19 years ago, Telkom was essentially a South African telephone company. Then, as the country underwent profound transformation, so did Telkom. After digitising and modernising the network, we opened our Network Operations Centre to monitor and manage it 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Then we branched out into internet services, managed data networking, data hosting, IT security and virtual private network services.

Gone were the days of plain old telephony.



We worked hard to improve operating efficiencies and cost-effectiveness and, most importantly, the quality of the customer experience. At the same time, Telkom became – and remains - one of South Africa’s most demographically representative companies and biggest investors in ICT skills development. In March 2003, we listed on JSE Limited. The ICT landscape changed. Out went the old Telecommunications Act of 1996 and in came the Electronic Communications Act of 2006, paving the way for converged services, service-based competition and a new licensing regime.
