A multimillion-rand dispute tied to the “Please Call Me” story takes a new turn as Errol Elsdon plans to sue Nkosana Makate for defamation. According to the reports, Elsdon challenges the public narrative around how the funding and related claims in the saga are presented, and he says that Black Rock Mining complied with the funding agreement. The legal action is positioned as a direct attempt by the funder to contest Makate’s account and protect his and the company’s reputation in relation to the deal.
The information available focuses on Elsdon’s stated intention to file the defamation lawsuit and his claim that the funding arrangements were upheld by Black Rock Mining. The reports do not describe the specific statements being contested, nor do they outline any response from Makate or the outcome of the potential case at this stage. The matter remains ongoing and is expected to proceed through South Africa’s legal process.
