CEO does a runner?

Just where has CEO Nxsana gone?

The guy was everywhere when the R4,5billion rolled in. Now the workers are restless, the media, the unions not to mention the populous are on his back he has gone for the Lord Lucan approach.

My friend, some days you are the pigeon, some days you are the statue.

Take it like a man. Or at least a R11.5m CEO.

All we ever get is spokespersons these days. Any ideas where the dude is?

Well pat22, I am afraid that Sizwe is the pigeon, we are the statues, and he has feathered his nest. I don't think he has a liking for skiing in Switzerland though, but I am sure he likes his Swiss bank account balance![8]

i'd like to be a much bigger bird, something along the lines of an elephant bird: feast on a chilly pepper plantation followed by a sama-sizwe flyover.

Guys not to sound like an idiot here, but that's hate speech

Where others have progress, we have Telkom.

The Sunday Times reports that Sizwe Nxasana is aboard a floating luxury liner off the Greek coast.

I had been told by a friend in the UK that he was out of the country until September. I guess this explains why

Telkom's spokesman, Ravin Maharaj, on Friday refused to confirm details of the parastatal's guest list. "I am not prepared to say anything about the Athens trip because it is confidential."

Yeah, he's off spending OUR hard earned money while his staff are worried about losing their jobs. I find this very distasteful!

As sponsers of the SA team I think the Vodacom and Sasol chiefs are also there

Tha sad thing is that he is probably putting eye blinders on the people with enough power to change things (concerning telecoms) for the better in South Africa. In some places it might be seen as handing out a bribe...

Sad. [

Isn't it funny how company benefits work... exponentially! Let me explain.

Joe Bloggs earns R150,000 per annum, but is a oridinary salaried staff member, getting no special benefits, no overseas trips for 'business' and so on. Joe wanted to go overseas, but realised that he would have to save up for many months to afford that.

Sipho X., company director, earns R1.5m per annum. He gets benefits under the disguise of 'company business' like a 'teambuilding' trip with other directors to Athens. Not only does Sipho still take home a whopping salary, but he finds that he never has to pay for private holidays overseas either.

The person who can most afford to pay for an overseas trip out of his personal cash is the person getting it for free.

To continue...
On Sipho's return from Athens, he issues a memorandum to the company elaborating a plan to curb stationery and paper spending as well as replacing Nescafe with Ricoffy in the canteen.
