NSFAS chair Sizwe Nxasana resigns after ‘extreme strain’ on the payments system

CEO of Telkom during its years as the monopolistic behemoth and CEO of one of South Africa's 4 biggest Banks.
Cough, cough, choke, how could these 2 Companies fail? Telkom was a legally protected monopoly during his tenure as CEO and Banks print money. :erm:
:wtf:
Never forget this Nxasana guy and Jay Naidoo (Minister without Portfolio and Telecommunications) that made the Telkom privatisation all possible. Both have gone on to be highly acclaimed fellows with all sorts of pats on the backs and honorary accolades.

Howsit Sneeky
The first thing I did when I read your post about the 3Gb Caps etc was check the date you joined MyADSL, the former name of MyBroadband. The same year I joined.
We certainly have gone through thick and thin on this forum. If you look at my post count it was mostly made during that era. I take a back seat these days, even my Moderator status is no more, although it still says so under my name. Not concerned at all, was time to move on, besides my Industry is not Tech anyway.
Good to see posters that still remember the bad old days, lest we forget them. Bastids, put us back more than a decade behind in technology. Recently here at home our area was "upgraded" to ADSL2+, woohooo, I suppose its better than nothing, although I think the technology inside the exchange is basically the same old copper lines etc, they just kept us in the dark ages and slowly gave us mediocre upgrades.
Remember old Ivy, didn't even know the front or back side of a telephone and BBC (Born Before Computers) but was made Minister of Telecommunications.
We could all write a book, its been a long ride so far, lets look to the future.

:crylaugh: yup, actually things have moved along a fair bit although at a snails pace.
Seacom was a big thing although bandwidth pricing and caps, especially for wireless (im on lte, no adsl or fibre) are still bordering on the obscene.
Lol, Ivy.
Well looking at the list of minsters its not hard to understand our predicament.

I think the only one that really tried to make a difference was rocket Roy, before he got reigned in that is.
As for Icasa remember old Paris, LOL, we have had them all.
