'Please Call Me' inventor Nkosana Makate wants closer to R10bn Share In a saga that has been ongoing for nearly 21 years, the inventor of âPlease Call Meâ, Nkosana Makate, yet again turned to court to get what is owed to him - not the R47 million as calculated by Vodacom, but rather closer to R10 billion, without interest, he said. The Gauteng High Court Pretoria, is presiding over Makateâs review application over the next three days. While counsel are presenting their case from offices at Menlyn Corporate Park, Judge Wendy Hughes is hearing the matter virtually. Armed with a hefty team of senior advocates, Makate said that he is confident about the success of his application.
