The Department of Communications and Digital Technologies congratulates Telkom, a JSE-listed telecommunications company where the government of South Africa has a 40,5% stake for its phenomenal annual financial results published today for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Telkom earnings grew by a staggering 25.1% to R11.8 billion and its revenue rose by 3.3% to R43.9 billion. This success enabled the company to declare dividends to its shareholders of 261c per share.

For its shareholding, the Government of South Africa will receive in excess of half a billion rand (R540m). This will come in handy for the strained national fiscus.

“This is great news and worthy to be celebrated. The fact that this great result is underpinned by among others, the growth of the company’s mobile subscribers that surpassed the 21 million mark, confirms our long-held view that the ICT sector is key to economic growth.

I congratulate my colleague, Serame Taukobong, the Group CEO of Telkom for the successful execution of his ambitious strategy towards the vision of making Telkom the backbone of South Africa’s digital future.” remarked the Director-General of the Department, Ms Nonkqubela Jordan-Dyani.
