Shocking figures on skills shortages disclosed by trade union Solidarity show present-day SA has only approximately 10% of the number or artisans that it had 20 years ago and that the country needs almost twice as many artisans as it has available.

Why do they even bother printing this... we all know what the ANC wants... not white skilled ppl.

They will have to wait another 15 years before black skills are properly rolled out... education takes time.

Definite proof (if we ever needed it) that the SETA system and affirmative action aren't working.

lol. Everyone who graduated with me are either already out of the country or planning on it. I'm leaving next year. There are too many unskilled people in this country already, and even fewer skilled people to manage them.

I need one of those! Does it only check existing spells or does it offer options for particular outcomes?

umm. In Ubuntu Linux, the Firefox browser has a spell checker, which checks as you type. So does the instant messenger programs.
