In a landmark decision, the South African Supreme Court of Appeal has ruled in favor of Kenneth Nkosana Makate, the innovator behind Vodacom's Please Call Me service. This could result in compensation ranging from R29 billion to R63 billion. Makate proposed the service in 2008, but felt inadequately compensated. Legal battles ensued, culminating in the Supreme Court's recent ruling. This case highlights the importance of protecting intellectual property and ensuring fair compensation for inventors, underscoring the potential for prolonged legal disputes when these issues are neglected. The outcome of Makate's compensation remains uncertain, but this saga remains a significant topic in South Africa, symbolizing a David vs Goliath struggle and sparking discussions on intellectual property rights.
