Maybe sometime in 2040, but by then Koko will say he is an old sick man and we shouldn't be putting old sick men into jail.

His case is going to follow the route of all the ANC thieves cases which keep getting delayed because they start bogus attacks on the judiciary and say their case can't proceed until their attack has concluded, or they are sick and can't attend court, or a witness mysteriously decides not to testify, or a building that contains all the important evidence burns down or is broken in to etc.

[mention]Username: [/mention] - Sorry, I’ve had a stressful day, I get where you are coming from but like I commented earlier there are engineers that simply don’t need the additional accreditation in order to work. There are many that do though, especially when they deal with work involving public liability. I’ve heard all the jokes and taken the crap about the engineering degree I did and work I do now not being ‘real’ engineering so it’s fine, we can agree to disagree if need be.

He has an engineering degree, but was never registered as a professional engineer with the Engineering Council of South Africa. So quite different from Wouter Basson, who is registered as a medical specialist in more than one field with the HPCSA.
Unfortunately in SA we had to resort to the title "Professional Engineer" because every Tom, Dick and Harry can call himself a engineer.

The same reason the term "qualified" is used in SA because many call themselves elektrishuns, plumbirs, hairdresirs, teechas, weldurs and teknishuns without actually being qualified.

Sad actually and illegal in some countries.

Aren't all degreed South Africans "Twitter Engineers".... you know, the quality of our universities and degrees these days?

I tried looking for it in the article, there is nothing, so I think this is it.

I am saying he did not get his degree "these days", but do tell me more about apartheid and blacks getting degrees.

What do you mean "these days"? Are you working on African time again?

Try Nelson Mandela and Steve Biko for a start. And 10 black universities were built during apartheid. Did nobody get a degree at any of them?
