Telkom Group has emerged as the 2025 South African Winner for Best Corporate in Investor Relations (Small Cap) at the Extel Surveys, earning recognition for its excellence in financial disclosure, governance, and stakeholder engagement.
The accolade was presented at the inaugural Investor Relations Society of South Africa (IRSSA) Awards, hosted at the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). Telkom’s triumph places it ahead of notable South African corporates such as Pick n Pay, Spar, AVI, and African Rainbow Minerals, all contenders in the same category.
The Extel Awards, regarded globally as a gold standard for investor relations excellence, evaluate corporates across key metrics including financial transparency, ESG performance, and communication effectiveness with investors and analysts.
Judges commended Telkom for its strategic communication, strong governance framework, and credible leadership team, noting that the company demonstrated “clear accountability, disciplined capital allocation, and consistent engagement with the market.”
“We are honoured to receive this recognition from Extel and the Investor Relations Society of South Africa,” said Nonkululeko Dlamini, Group Chief Financial Officer at Telkom.
“Investor relations is a strategic enabler of our business—it ensures that stakeholders have a clear understanding of our performance, purpose, and long-term value creation strategy. This award affirms our commitment to transparency, accountability, and excellence in every engagement.”
Dlamini credited the achievement to the collective leadership of Telkom’s Board and executive team, led by Group CEO, Serame Taukobong, adding that the company’s Investor Relations unit plays a crucial role in translating strategic goals into credible, consistent, and meaningful market communication.
“This recognition is proof of the strength of our governance framework and the Board’s focus on stewardship, diversity, and oversight,” she noted.
Telkom’s recognition marks a major milestone in its investor relations journey, positioning the company as a benchmark for corporate governance and transparent communication in South Africa’s telecoms and investment landscape.
As the Group celebrates this achievement, it reaffirms its commitment to deepening stakeholder dialogue, fostering investor confidence, and driving sustainable, transparent growth across all operations.
