Telkom group CEO, Sipho Maseko, today announced the resignation of Bashier Sallie, MD for wholesale and networks.
In a statement released by Telkom today, the company says Sallie will complete his contractual obligation and remain in his role until the end of the year.
Sallie joined Telkom in 1986 and held various positions including managing executive roles in Data and special services, service management and field operations. He also served as the company's acting CTO from March 2007 to October 2007. He then moved to the IT division before being appointed in his current position.
Maseko is quoted in the statement as saying Sallie's understanding of business and insight into industry trends has enabled him to make telling contributions that have greatly benefitted the company, none more so than the network transformation programme which is a very important milestone in the Telkom roadmap.
"Bashier is starting a new chapter in his life. While we are extremely sorry to see him go, we understand his need to use his many talents elsewhere. We wish him only the very best. He leaves us as a lifelong friend of the company," says Maseko.
