SIU files leave to appeal in Telkom case

Here is a summary of the document:

Summary:

The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) plans to appeal a recent High Court decision that deemed its authorization to investigate Telkom's affairs as invalid. The court ruled that Telkom is not a state institution and therefore cannot be investigated for allegations of maladministration, malpractice, and corruption. The SIU believes that the court's definition of a state institution may set a precedent and create uncertainty for future investigations. The unit argues that the issue must be clarified to avoid potential shielded of public institutions from investigation.
