Telkom FutureMakers donates 10 motorbikes to help Delivery Ka Speed achieve its expansion strategy Telkom announced that it has appointed Delivery Ka Speed, a 100% black youth-owned and township-based fast food delivery service Small & Medium Enterprise (SME), as one of its strategic consumer dealers to deliver its products in townships of Gauteng, Limpopo and the North West province.
