‘Telkom has made me who I am today’
‘I was appointed by Telkom in September 2000 while studying for my N5 in Electrical Engineering at Tshwane North College. ‘I started at BVS (Business Voice System) as a procurement officer and was then promoted to technical project co-ordinator. Being at BVS I have grown so much as a person and have been able to develop my career by studying Project Management with Torque IT. ’Telkom has made me who I am today. My 10 years of service with Telkom has marked a significant milestone, and I am grateful to the company for the experience I have gained.’
