  • No

    Votes: 2 2.0%

  • Unsure

    Votes: 1 1.0%
  • Total voters
    98
2 no votes?

hmm, I didn't know Julius and Nyanda were MBB members.
 
boot boot boot!
:-( he'll probly take his 2 new Bee-ems with him, and the next pawn will get to buy yet another 2 new fancy cars on our expense, instead of giving us proper, cheap internet :-)
 
Remember this snake is a card-carrying communist. I always thought real communists shouldn't aspire to amass personal wealth. Just shows you what a failed ideology they still pursue - capitalism for the elite with socialism for the masses.
 
one poopall will leave and another will take his place... this is the only quality of leaders the anc has... unfortunately...

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

Everyone thought that when Ivy finally kicked the bucket things would get better. It is just as naive to think now that Nyanda is the real problem.

Yikes, that's not a very accurate statement from Natasha Michael on so many levels.

Just stick to the facts, Michael: South Africa chose DVB-T, industry have been gearing up for a DVB-T DTT launch and all our broadcasters are pretty much ready to go with DVB-T right now. From the information currently at hand, that's the bottom line.

No, I would be astounded if it didn't change at this stage to ISDB.
 
According to the DA there are six fundamental problems facing the Department:

1. The financial and management woes of the SABC
2. The poor management of Sentech
3. The various scandals concerning the minister himself
4. The Department’s poor annual report
5. The Minister’s deteriorating relationship with his former DG
6. Failure to fulfil the Department’s core mandate

Any one of these reasons would have been one too many ... the sooner he goes the better.

He does not inspire confidence and can't think of anything he's successfully delivered ... except of course discord, controversy and significant unnecessary spending (to the detriment of the taxpayer)!

The Democratic Alliance is at its tantrums again. I wonder when they will toe the line, go out there and do something better for the people...something better such as defining and crafting future policies that would better the lives of people in this country. To the DA officials especially Natasha Michael (DA’s Shadow Minister of Communication), you must be informing the public about what your party has planned in improving its public image after the failed open-air toilets debacle that have come back to haunt you for the past two months now. I see through the lines Natasha, attacking the current minister of communication without solid proofs but ‘hearsays’ won’t give you his position (which I know you so envy). It will take more than your petty criticisms to remove him from his position. Why don’t you ever praise him for the achievements he’s made for the past one year he’s been in office? Come on, give the man a chance and acknowledge his efforts to improve on the communication lot of the country.
The DA should not only act irresponsibly by stating ‘facts’ that are not substantiated, but should begin to criticise constructively. We need proposals and not witch-hunting as the DA is doing right now. So Michaels, these attack tactics won’t take you anywhere. Rather go back to the drawing board and see what you can do for the people.

Wow, try and use some paragraphs. I'm not even going to bother reading that.

DA’s Natasha Michael have stated that “Sentech has been running at a loss for so many years now...” It stands to reason that DoC,s current minister is not solely responsible for the present state of affairs in some of these state-owned enterprises. Look no further than the able manner in which Sentech’s new chairman Quraysh Patel is handling the Sentech’s Screamer deal. A turnabout is glaringly imminent but what is DA’s own contributions in all these? Instead of being the pied piper, let the DA propose a turn-around strategy. We are tired of reading criticisms every day about the Minister of Communication. We need proposals from the DA on how ICT could be taken to the grassroots, how they will participate in sensitising the public about the TV digital switch etc.

No, what we need is a competent person to steer the ship. Nyanda does not look like he is the man for the job.

I'm not even gonna try and defend the paragraph issue, Is it about the points advanced in the write-up or the style? Don't start something you can't even end. If it's the diction you can't understand, just stay quiet man!!! I don't have time for pessimistic people on this planet called earth!! Do yourself some good and stay away from my comments. People with brains will read through the lines and make sense out of it and not shallowly as you probably did!

Something tells me you work for the DoC and/or ANC?

I think you've just answered the criticism using the wrong account. How many more accounts are you going to open? There is currently 87 Yes votes. So you have your work cut out for you...
 
It is about time to get rid of this useless politician that is only interested in lining his own pockets at the expense of the taxpayer. He should disappear like a fart in the wind to make South Africa and telecommunications a better place. Why can't they put competent persons in such an important position? His predecessor, Ivy Matseburi, was just as bad.

The ANC is supposedly running the country, not the DA. Or perhaps you are suggesting they need the DA to come in and help them?

The DA together with the media has not given the minister a chance to do his job properly with their constant negative reviews and attacks. The minister has been in office for just over a year and within that time is expected to fix all the wrongs that were made years before he came into office overnight. Give the man a break!

How many more accounts is this guy gonna make?.

Dude, he has had more than year now and he has done nothing but demand (cars and homes). He is a member of the ANC and they generally are not interested to work, they just want.
