Communications Minister Ivy Matsepe-Casaburri scored a dismal 2/10 in this report card with questions being raised about her ability to run the department. This score is significantly lower than last year’s 4/10
Really, what kind of standards does the DA have? A "willful obstacle" should not score higher that -1 (minus 1).“Where the Minister has become involved in decision-making, these decisions are invariably bad. Few Ministers have proven to be such willful obstacles to progress in their own portfolios. For this she is awarded 2.”
Just about the only thing that excites me about having Zuma as president is that Ivy's a staunch Mbeki ally and after the elections, she'll be gone, gone, gone...
Should Zuma become president, I really do hope he'll select an competent person...

Not being racist here but wtf does an middle aged black lady know about the Interwebs? Is she really suitable for her position. Absolutely not in my eyes! We need a Marc Shuttleworth or somehow to at least knows how to use the intertubes!
IMO "a brake on" is a euphemism for "a retardation of", and I'm being deadly serious - this is no laughing matter.“Overall, Minister Matsepe-Casaburri has continued to be a brake on the liberalisation of telecommunication regulations and she has constantly proved to be an obstacle to the implementation of the Electronic Communications Act by Icasa. It should perhaps not come as a surprise, as the Act itself came into being on the initiative of Parliament, rather than the Minister,” the DA report concludes.
