It's not like he did anything for Telkom anyways...
It's not like ANYONE of the senior staff do ANYTHING for Telkom, they are all there for the big salaries and yeah...
It's sad because all they need is someone to actually CARE to turn that company around!
But what's the chances.

Good Riddence
Right, the guy is not dead.
No need to get nostalgic about him.
GOOD RIDDENCE I say.
Maybe someone with a little business savy will replace him, and bring us on parr with other African countries (morrocco, Kenia, etc) with ADSL speedwise and pricewise. Byeee byee Molo%*$$head

I'd like to fire him properly
The Dodo was not a monopolistic bird, but was hunted to death and that was the cause of the Dodo's extinction, whereas Telkodemonopolies is a de facto fixed line monopoly - with no fixed line competitors to hunt Telkodemonopolies into extinction...
Moletsane does appear to be a Dodo now - justice seems to have prevailed against the backdrop of Moletsane's huge bonus

Anyone else watch the "Fall of ENRON" documentary last night?
It all seems a bit like deja-vu... maybe Telkom is about to fall...? (i can dream cant i?)

So .. govmint puts on a bit of pressure like we've been begging for for ages already, and he "steps down" ... pffffffffft.
I'm missing something here.

The real masters are the people who benefit from Telskam's monopoly... and that I am sure is not hard to arrive at.
A possible list would be:
ANC govt
Ivy Matsepe-Cassaburri
Shareholders (local and overseas)
One or two suppliers (possibly the likes of Spescom, et, al)

no they aren't. this is not some huge conspiracy, or an RPG. i think it's pretty obvious that between the government and telkom nobody has enough smarts to pull off something like that. after all how could someone with no telecom experience like papi even get a job as CEO of the largest motherF*cking telecoms company in motherF*ucking africa? or how ivy matsepe at age 70-something gets a job as DoC head? it beggars belief, because neither one knows the first thing about even setting up a windows network, or googling something, or even sending emails.
papi defied thabo's wishes and got forced out of his position.
HALLE-f*cking-LUJAH, maybe something will finally change.
optimism is key.
I suspect you meant inertia...?
Also noticed a few similarities whilst watching the big one was how these chaps lie so convincingly. Enron exec told employees to buy Enron shares whilst he was busy loading his off because he knew the company was going down. Now that's just plain evil! So yes, I did see some similarities

Sometimes they lie is so convincing because the person believes what they are saying. No one close to the chief disagrees, the people immediately around the chief only say what what the chief wants to hear (or get fired/worse)...

CEO's pay
It's absolutely OBSCENE to pay the Telkom CEO R1 million a month. Nobody is worth that sort of money (not even soccer coaches!!), and especially the idiot that had only just arrived, with a minimal knowledge of telecoms!!
I bet he took a nice package when he left as well.
Very few top people (especially the so called BEE types) have an interest and intimate knowledge of their jobs - all that counts is the money!
No wonder the civil service is slowly sliding down a slippery slope from which it will be hard to recover!
