Why bother when SA's main export is skilled individuals?

hehe... Is this that same government that announced not so long ago that there are plenty of skills in the IT sector???

Our government has to remember only one saying: "Stupid is as stupid does..."

That would be me. I'm leaving next month Telkom are high up on my list of reasons.

The government was tackling the skills shortage by designing a two- to three-year development programme, the communications department said in a statement ahead of the meeting.

This will be the seventh time the hi-tech advisory council has convened for international experts to guide the president on how technology and telecommunications can improve the country’s economic and social development. The events have had a mixed reaction from industry participants, with their enthusiasm cooling as they see that their annual advice is frequently not put into action.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and suggest that the previous 2 or 3 two- to three- year plans didn't do the trick. DoC.BrainFart(void)?
