Telkom’s new CEO

yep, I thought so, he's got the kind of "degrees" our government wants here.

Nothing like the full 4 year / 5 year full-time engineering degrees our real universities offer. UCT, Wits and Stellenbosch and some others.
 
the test is, do final years at Toledo sit in a hall, under supervision of independent invigilators, and write finals ?( I fail the test cause at Wits the invigilators wernt from orf campus)
 
I noticed that this article shows up on the main page and the intro gets chopped off. It shows up like this:
Business Day reported that Leapeetswe Rapula Molotsane would take over as CEO of Telkom when the cur

and it looks like the article refers to Sizwe as a 'cur'. Well imagine my suprise when I looked up what 'cur' means:

1. A dog considered to be inferior or undesirable; a mongrel.
2. A base or cowardly person.

How weird is that?
 
I heard part of an interview with him this morning - it seems like he is concentrating on 'the many faults' and that many people are saying that even though they are a monopoly they must provide a good service - he tactivly left out pricing :p

Heard him on SAFM this morning and he sounded a "reasonable" chap but then he does not about the CEO "orientation/indoctrination" course in week 1 that they have planned for him :).

I am sure that Bill Gates feels rather an inadequate in his role as Chief Software Architect of Microsoft because does not have a computer science degree :).

I recorded it, rpm. 'Tuner card en ol en ol en ol'
 
I agree antowan, this whole thing is looking increasingly like the vodacom/mtn/cellc deal.
I think that Telkom actually look forward to the sno introduction, just so they can say, "hey, now we've got competition". We won't mention that our new CEO used to work for our "competition", thats just details.
 
Some more in the news: Molotsane’s appointment as new Telkom head surprises investors.

Funny how Telkom is described:
THE ELEVATION of Leapeetswe “Papi” Molotsane to head state-owned Telkom from September came out of left field yesterday, taking investors by surprise.

The same description is repeated in the first paragraph of this article... I thought they privatised Telkom? :confused:

At the end of the second article, another interesting titbit:
“Telkom is no longer a monopoly, and it thrived as a monopoly,” she said. “The challenge is to maintain that growth (in a new competitive environment).”

No longer a monopoly? Who is the competition? SNO hasn't even received their license!
