Mbeki reminds me of a jack in the box. You get it for your birthday by a relative you don't like. You watch it pop out of the box a few times. Get bored and stuff it into your closet. And every now and then when rummaging through your cupboard this f$%^&ing annoying thing jumps out at you and you get all mad and stuff, and then chuck it back into the cupboard. But otherwise, besides for the rucus and huge annoyance, it is all pretty harmless, and you can just go on. Mbeki is a Jack in the box - every few months he jumps out of his box, makes a noise, then quietly retreats again.
@President Mbeki.
2 Things.
1. Retire or Fire Ivy. We really don't care any more what happens to the old girl. Just get rid of her by any means possible.
2. Tell your National Assembly to make sure Debbie Love is on the short list of ICASA Candidates.
These 2 things will help change the landscape of Telecoms in South Africa and will have the desired effect quicker than making statements that we have heard about already.

Heard it before and will hear it again....
One day something will change.... It will happen suddenly and without warning. Then Telkom will **** themselves

horrific - bit like the clown urban legend.
"When I make a phone call or use the internet no-one sends me the bill but we have not made the sort of dent in the cost that we would have wanted to 12 months ago," he told a media briefing after the meeting on the edge of Kruger National Park.
'nuff said.
mnnn thinking about that quote and what werner said,,,,
maybe we should all send uncle Thabo and auntie Ivy our telecoms bills en masse, every month, as it's quite apparent that they are so detached from society they don't have a bloody clue what their procrastination is costing this country.

Well step 1 is good, he acknowledges that the gov has failed. + 5 points
step 2 is the problem.. if he again does nothing drastic like firing ivy or something then its - 95 point. He has to stop talking and actually force in one way or another change cause too many are riding the gravy train that he again has acknowledged

Again Thanks Mbeki, Talk and no action, as usual, maybe the speach was delayed as it is now to late again! You had your chances and blew it with the latest new telecoms laws implemented! You will be unofficially dubbed the official international loud mouth (as you are never at home or take part in national affairs) as your legacy!
I wonder if Mbeki has thought about what he wants to be remembered for after his two terms? If I were him I would want to be remebered for pulling a plug on skycraper telco prices and for my contribution towards HIV/AIDS eradication. This is where I'd choose to win South African public and impress my international peers. Somehow for both important jobs(lack of better phrase) he's got non-performing ministers working hard to turn it into plagues.

Ivy follows her master's bidding.
This is actually not a bad idea and it could be done quite cheaply (cost of two stamps and a little bit of time). One copy to the president's office and one copy to the DoC. Highlight the ridiculous amount that individual's have to pay for telecoms.
