--------------Another issue, which has been little commented on or explained, is the provisions in the Broadband Infraco Act to privatise and list the company.
According to the Act, the DPE minister can do this with literally a flick of the switch.
Why would such a provision be made so early in the company's life, unless there is an ulterior motive for someone to profit, and possibly at the public's expense?
In January last year, Erwin reportedly said at a gathering of telecommunications executives, to brief them on Broadband Infraco:
“I cannot understand how the country with the lowest electricity prices in the world has the most expensive broadband.”
I asked him about this at the cocktail party where he announced his retirement, and he retorted: “My boy! You must not believe everything you hear.”
He then strolled off to adjust former minister of the presidency Essop Pahad's tie and dust down his shoulders.
And that piece of advice applies equally to what we have been told about Broadband Infraco
