Day 3 of the #PleaseCallMe case. Nkosana Makate isn’t accepting the formula #Vodacom has used to come to R47m compensation figure for inventing the model. Today Vodacom will continue with its arguments.
#Vodacom says it didn’t have the software at the time to come to the exact profit made by the model. It appears as though calls made within an hour after a #PleaseCallMe was sent has been considered as part of calculating the profits the model brought in for #Vodacom
SC Trengove is now arguing for #Vodacom
He starts off by saying how does one determine a reasonable price for a brilliant idea? It’s like asking what’s the true length of a piece of string, there’s no obvious answer to it, he says. He adds the CEO makes a determination of R47m.

Trengove SC arguing got #Vodacom argues that’s Makate believe and argues that the features of the calculations are inequitable. He adds it’s key to look around the world to see what employers pay employees for brilliant ideas thought from home. #PleaseCallMe
Trengove SC for #Vodacom says we call admit that Makate #PleaseCallMe model is a brilliant idea but only an idea and he isn’t a service provider. He didn’t invest capital, he didn’t provide a product, it’s a once off sale of an idea, Trengove says.
Adv Solomon SC on behalf of #Vodacom says arriving at an incremental amount comes with its problems. He says the difficult remains how does one come to a figure for the inventor of the #PleaseCallMe model. He adds this is a huge challenge in determining the value of the PCM idea.
