I read in Noseweek at CNA a story about a "porn ring" at MTN South Africa.
The story goes that MTN South Africa was having slow network and email response times so they sent a couple of techies to investigate who then discovered it was due to a couple of users with very large user accounts on the MTN servers. On investigation they discovered that these accounts contained large amounts of pornography and this pornography was being distributed between senior MTN employees. The only person in the porn ring mentioned by name was Paul Newman general manager of Retail Channels. The other seem to have been part of the MTN sales team. The article also mentions it was not a male only ring but that 2 white women were part of it.
Initially action was taken against them but after a new group Managing Karel Pienaar joined he reinstated them.
The only person who was then dismissed was the one in the group that had child pornography in his user account.
Now the article also mentioned that staff in the call centre have in the past been caught with pornography and dismissed because of it. So isn't it double standards that senior staff are allowed to keep their jobs?
