Hmm, bird photography, relaxing?

I'm not so sure. I think my blood pressure spikes through the roof every time I sit for three hours waiting for a shot and then press the shutter at exactly the wrong millisecond...

Not to mention the stress-inducing factors of having to pay a few tens of thousands of ZARs for the odd lens here and there, although I suppose that's probably not something that fazes Mr Knott-Craig too much ;)

Come on MyADSL – Why did you publish this piece of PR crap? What do we care about a self enriching capitalist – if he was responsible for cheap bandwidth, we might have had some interest.

Surely your journalist can find some stories to write instead of publishing this crap.

Ja, wtf? Knott-Craig has gone from the "father of the cellular industry" to the "messiah"! Whats with all the frikken praise singing?

In all seriousness could he have failed? Seems to me been given the reigns of the para-statal side of a duopoly is a bit like been given a license to print money. You just can't go wrong.

Hi folks

Thanks for the feedback. I must admit that I did not read the full article before leaving this morning (early morning conference) and could therefore not assess the value of the content. We will do our best to be more discerning in future :D

What is interesting though:
He says he is looking forward to leaving Vodacom before 2009 when his contract is up, “if the shareholders will let me”.

Regards,

RPM
