Telkom employee stole my landline number

I telephoned Telkom as my landline had been unresponsive for about a week. They told me I had not paid my bill. Which is impossible as my line is prepaid. Nevertheless, I paid the amount and they said my line would be reconnected within 48 hours.<br> However, upon trying my landline number, I reach a woman who tells me her husband works for Telkom and he said my number is their new number.<br> So, Telkom, do explain what is going on here because it seems as if one of your employees has just merrily appropriated my number and assigned it to his home landline.<br> This is utterly unacceptable and begs the question: How on earth is this kind of nonsense even possible??<br>
