    Joburg Roads Agency boss bought a doctorate and claimed a Harvard Business School master’s degree that doesn’t exist

    You are right, maybe they had a choice of bad or worse and they chose worse. My point is that they did not have a choice of great, good, bad and worse. They must focus on and appeal to international candidates. They must be able to attract good candidates. The JRA board is also representatitve...

    Joburg Roads Agency boss bought a doctorate and claimed a Harvard Business School master’s degree that doesn’t exist

    To end the mystery. JRA really struggled to appoint a person - for years. There are several black PrEng Civil Engineers qualified for this position, but they all get mega salaries from large construction groups in SA, and they are sought after throughout Africa and UAE for mega construction...

    It is really sad and ironic simultaneously that "public secrets" are used to make money for a few whilst others have to work much harder (compensating for those who have it easy). In SA if you know someone who knows someone you get keys, contracts, position and so on. The sad and ironic part...

    froot seems to have the key or know someone who does. The local companies that have the key probably has it because they knew someone sometime somewhere - which is how business is conducted in Africa. I agree that it is just machine reading of text that is printed anyway, so no privacy issues...
