“The talent was never missing in South Africa. The opportunity was,”

Yes.

“Every company in this country that says it cannot find skilled people should look very carefully at what these seven just did.”

No, skilled blek people... because they're forced to hire skins with skills that don't exist in enough numbers.
Let's call it what it is and stop ignoring the giant gorilla in the room.

Well done to the team.
Seeing Saffas kick the Americans around on their own turf is awesome.

Yip

I have taught blek kids... I taught them coding and robotics for 2 years. They drop out, they get disinterested, and they are being indoctrinated- let's call a spade a spade, they're being taught by I presume their parents and families that they are owed everything and don't need to study hard stuff, the govt will provide.

Well done to the team.
Seeing Saffas kick the Americans around on their own turf is awesome.

Damn straight. The Yanks always think they're top dog... they're not!

Hmmm... no chance they were picked as winners 'cos that's the right woke thing to do in 'Murica?

South African learners held prominent roles in the winning company. Qaylah Omar was one of the company‘s chosen presenters.

So, just played a part in the much wider winning team.

What’s wrong with that? None of us achieve on our own.

Nothing wrong there, just an exaggerated headline

If there's one thing Saffers are world experts at it's how to settle any and all space.
