Telkom takes on popular Western Cape town to stop alleged fibre monopoly

• Telkom and Openserve seek interim relief from Saldanha Bay Municipality to prevent harm to customers and competitive process.
• The municipality had appointed Zoom as its fibre partner through Amoeba Mobile Solutions, and residents complained about Zoom Fibre's sole mandate in the area after a significant price hike.
• The Competition Tribunal will hear the application on Friday, 18 September 2026, and Telkom and Openserve asked for an order requiring the municipality to immediately grant and issue wayleaves for four applications.
