This was in Business Day today (23 July). It's not findable online, but it's brief:

<b>Sentech Recruiting</b>
"The state-owned signal carrier Sentech has been getting flak for iuts MyWireless offering, which lets customers access the Internet via a wireless connection. Users say the service is underspeed and overpriced, the coverage is patchy and its held desk is unhelpful.
"One particularly miffed user even set up a website called mywirelesssucks to make his views public. Undeterred by that brazen hostility, Sentech marketing exectuive Marcel Raath took the customer out to lunch to discuss his grievances.
"Impressed by his grasp of the technologies, Raath tried to recruit him. "We had a beer and I offered him a two-week consultancy job," said Raath. Sadly, the customer was already gainfully employed, but he did apparently pass on several tips."

Nah, he said, I'll consult to you for free.

Oh yes, this was in yesterday's 22 July edition of BD: http://www.bday.co.za/bday/content/direct/1,3523,1664546-6078-0,00.html

I hate to say this but the media is starting to "cut & paste" as well. Instead of investigating the story a bit more and finding things out like sentech's "for(us only)um" they could spice their stories up a bit.

he didn't offer you a job or you're not on our side or he didn't have a meeting with you or you're not the Rodent or... ?

Many online gamers, myself and others, have known Rodent for years.

The offer may or may not have been made. Ask rodent. Sh*t, one thing is for sure if I was in Sentech management I WOULD try to get competent people like him onboard, given the sh*t storm that has unfolded to date.

However, if Rodent accepted something like that he would tell us. He's a stand up guy.

If Rodent says its lies, it IS lies. They're obviously trying to sow disension in our ranks. Why wait till now to disclose that the offer was made? It's been weeks since their meeting? God ... Sentech are turning out to be more evil by the minute.

Tip for Sentech: SOLVE THE FSCKING PROBLEMS YOU FOOLS THEN ALL THIS FRUSTRATION AND TIME WAISTING WILL DISAPPEAR.
