Bandwidth fraud from vets

ROFLMAO!
Can we then charge Telkom/Vodacom.. ect. with fraud too. Coz i think 725% markup would be optimistic in this case.. :p
 
What does the contract say? If the department was stupid enough to contract them for supply bandwidth at $2450 then that's what they have to pay. If the contract was for R2450, why are they bothering to go to court. You pay according to the contract. There is a contract, right? Right?!
 
Satellite Costing

Dont see a problem with charging $2450 per Mbps as this is the standard rate of international satellite bandwidth on Ku and C band and for samller feeds this figure could increase to $ 4000 per Mbps the problem was the department in signing the contract and probally not technically knowing the solution they were purchasing ,, was the equipment also included in the MRC charge ?? who knows
 
How long do you have to watch your debit payments, before seeing a number like $2450 moving incrementally?
I'd say the minister should take the blame, regardless of when the contract was signed.
He/She is after all accountable for their minion's actions, not so?
 
Yet Another Successful ANC Operation. ... but why did it take R100-mil before some-one realised "WTF" !!!
 
This whole debacle just smacks of corruption,back stabbing and incompetance.
What else would you expect from the ANC.

Exactly! Double Ring obviously had very close ANC ties when it secured the lucrative tender. Double Ring then proceeded to rip off the incompetent/corrupt DOHA for all they were worth. Full stop.
 
The department and Double Ring issued a joint response to the M&G this week, claiming that Dlamini-Zuma would initiate a process to resolve the dispute. “Both parties express their confidence in the process … as part of efforts to help find an amicable resolution to the issue at hand,” it said.

In other words, we will pay the criminals...

Veteran’s chequered past

The Mail & Guardian has established that the two Umkhonto weSizwe veterans involved in the dispute between home affairs and Double Ring Trading 222 are “General” Joshua Nxumalo and Major-General Gerald Pitso.

Nxumalo was one of the ANC’s tough men in exile and has attracted great controversy in the past, not least through his involvement in the Virodene scandal.

In 1997 Nxumalo received a stake in the company developing the controversial Aids drug for his “introductions” work. The ANC denied allegations at the time that the stake was earmarked for the ruling party.

Nxumalo was reported at the time to have cut his business teeth as part of his role in the ANC underground. His “getting things done” approach allegedly involved stolen cars and contact with drug dealers.

He strongly denied this at the time, but not that he had been jailed in exile. Pitso, who retired from the South African National Defence Force a few years ago, was a very senior member of SANDF intelligence.

Seems like a normal ANC member... A little under qualified in the rape and shower department.
 
Can you just imagine if governments was run like private businesses?

The cost saving would be astronomical!

The Tax benefits would enormous!

The economic growth and extra employment in the private sector would be tremendous!

Ah well I'll stop dreaming (slapping myself a few times to wake up).
 
just another anc lacky and another scandal
