IEC opens up website

Im glad they replied, but if they are saying openly that the site cost R300k we as the tax payers are STILL getting ripped off.

We cant do anything about the arms deal corruption, but we can most certainly do something about this.

The figure of R3 million that has been bandied around relates to the total project of revamping the website, based on a complete redesign and redevelopment of the website, streamlining and standardising presentation and content management, though the use of modern content management tools and systems.

Ok as someone has said somewhere before me, there is nothing that is 'standardising presentation' in this new site. If you goto https://www.elections.org.za/amregister/amregister.aspx to check if you are registered you loose all the (crap) css from the main page and have a white box? how is that standardising the look? ... And dont even make me laugh @ the whole "modern content management tools and systems" because this clearly isnt that.

And what about the IEC's brand? how does this site carry that? .... not well.
 
We need figures. Let's get them to give us a breakdown. It shouldn't be too hard to do. Whom should I contact?

Let's all write and phone and get some answers.
 
Lets get Carte Blanche in on this.

The IEC is free, fair and open. They shouldn't have any issues answering all questions relating to this craptastic site.

What a coding nightmare...this one page contains <table>,<Table> and <TABLE> tags...and I'm not even going to start talking about standards compliancy...

Carte Blanche, those people who did the Web 2.0 episode in 2008? Yer joking, right? Ruda's first question would be "So, please tell our viewers what a website is?"

Let's get Deborah Patta to interview these people.
 
yeah, my colleagues and i have been laughing about this all morning. What a tard. R300k? I wouldn't have paid more than R3k for that. I am quite certain that security is not up to scratch - given that a few server errors have been found already. Anyone care to sql inject and see if we can access the IEC databases? :mad:

How did the IEC choose this guy to build/modify their website? Do they not know that there are a lot of decent IT companies out there who would have done a far better job for less money?

How did the IEC award the contract?
 
BEE at its best. R297K for the 2 businessmen "commission" and the other 3K for the chap they got of the street. :D
 
T.I.A, I guess.

I can't take it any more, and the audacity to come on here and try and defend that pile of warm, uhm well you know...

Get some professionals you are suppose to represent what is free and fair, but one more second of looking at that, makes me feel all dead inside!

So glad there will be some inquiries into this...
"....I have forwarded this article to the Speaker of Parliament, Gwen Mahlangu-Nkabinde, asking to place this issue on the agenda of the next meeting of Parliament.

The DA believes that all monies spent with taxpayer revenue must we spent wisely and accounted for."

Please don't blame this on BEE. This is corruption. And corruption isn't always black.

Fixed it for you. I think everyone feels that even though it could possibly not have been 2 black people, it was due to some kind of EE circumstances that forced it to happen this way. IMHO.
