Prasa CEO: top engineer targeted because he is black

Montana suggested that the engineering team was being undermined because the lead engineer is black. He said that the motive for Rapport’s article ‘was probably a race issue’.

Seeing as you are an engineer - may I offer one of these for your shoulder

This is one of the marketing pitches of the RACE CARD:
"Useful for: When you haven't done your job"
 
If there was no such thing as AA, there would be no need to use race. We could call him an idiot without fear of being called racist.

Which is a pity, because there some good engineers that happen to be black - and this story paints a picture that the media is anti black engineer .....

Wait a minute - are the ANC not having a go at the media at the moment ..... mmmmmmmmm.
 
So Mr CEO are the locomotives the wrong size or not? At least answer that and then rage/race after clarifying the facts you dispute.
 
A roasting is in the offing :D
Guess who is getting roasted ?

"Montana said that he had decided against taking Rapport to the Press Ombudsman, or threatening legal action. "

I wonder why ? :D
 
"The locomotives have a roof height of 4,264mm while the maximum height for diesel locomotives may not exceed 3,965mm, senior rail engineers with firsthand knowledge of the saga told Rapport.

However, on Monday, Prasa stressed that the height of the new locomotives was 4.1 metres, and did meet all safety requirements, including a height restriction of 4.5 metres."

So what is the limit? 4.5 or 3.9?

Too many cooks spoil the spec.

Well Prasa is giving their spec, wonder where Rapport got its values from. Maybe it is just something something small like that there is a tunnel that is 3,9m but it won't ever be used there so they only care about where the trains will be used.

It would depend on what you trying to achieve: Safe ride height, or cover up an incompetent twat.

For Transnet the limit is 3965mm. Tippler wagons may go up to 4000mm.

Forget the train height, the CEO doesn't appear to be squeeky clean. News 24 article; Prasa CEO Lucky Montana is already facing numerous allegations of corruption.
 
Wow..what a joke! If anyone makes a mistake like that he should be sacked. Wonder what "Finders Fee" he received for the deal.
