# British Virgin Islands company, Black Rock Mining, is demanding 40-percent of Vodacom’s multimillion-rand settlement with Please Call Me inventor Nkosana Makate. Last week, Vodacom and Makate signed a nondisclosure agreement, a settlement reportedly worth over 700-million-rand. The dispute centres on a memorandum signed between Makate and South African businessman Christiaan Schoeman, who represented Black Rock Mining. Under the agreement, the company was to cover all litigation costs in exchange for 40-percent of any eventual award. Makate’s lawyers say a funding contract between the two parties was rescinded long ago.
