SABC is going down! – Bankrupt ANC regime’s mouthpiece is sinking in debt – SABC shut down offices and retrenches 37% of its staff

Posted on Leave a comment

The bankrupt mouthpiece of the ANC, the SABC, plans to close 5 offices and dismiss 37% of their staff.

This includes 19 general managers who emphasize the fact that top-level government agencies are overloaded with incompetent, incompetent and incapacitated cadres.

If the SABC does not receive further funding from the state, they may end up in the (lucky) position that the station should close.

Meanwhile, the Minister of Communications and the management of the SABC are at a disadvantage around posts.

Ramaphosa rejects privatization of SOE’s although the whole lot is poorly managed by incompetent staff, and cost SA billions of rands

Posted on Leave a comment

President Cyril Ramaphosa has reaffirmed government’s plans to support ailing state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and made it clear that there’s no intention to privatise them.

Ramaphosa was replying to debate on his State of the Nation Address at a joint sitting of Parliament on Wednesday.

He did not respond directly to criticism from opposition benches, instead saying he welcomed all the inputs made and insisted the government had a clear plan to reignite the economy and halt the jobs bloodbath.

Ramaphosa said SOEs had a critical role to play and won’t be privatised.

“The successful takeover of the distribution of Sassa grants by the Post Office is a clear demonstration that government institutions do have the capacity and the capability to implement projects of great magnitude,” he said.

Before taking over the task last April, only 31,000 beneficiaries were paid through the Post Office. Ramaphosa said last month, that numbe

These South African companies are retrenching staff in 2019 – Most probably BEE compliant as well – Unemployment has already soared to 27.5%

Posted on Leave a comment

Multichoice has joined the bandwagon of South African companies that are cutting jobs to stay afloat in these difficult times.

Why are these South African companies retrenching staff?
The satellite network stated that, although billions of rand in returns were reported for the 2018/2019 financial year, consumer behaviour and data on their digital self-service shows that there is less of a need for that many call centre and walk-in centre agents on their roster.

This is yet another blow for South Africa’s economy, whose GDP retracted by more than 3% in the first half of the year.

While Multichoice’s decision was brought on by pressure from the impending take-over of the fourth industrial revolution, other companies have been forced into a corner with very little choice but to sacrifice a portion of its workforce to remain financially soluble.

What impact will this have on unemployment?
This development has not complemented

South Africa in shambles: Did somebody say it’s a “Sh**hole”?

Posted on Leave a comment

Mzansi has hit rock bottom and the ANC GOVERNMENT is the cause of this all.

Ok so Municipalities cannot pay salaries, SABC cannot pay salaries and is bankrupt, Denel cannot pay salaries and is bankrupt, Transnet is bankrupt, SARS is running in a minus, SAA cannot pay salaries and is bankrupt, Escom is Bankrupt, Telkom is also going down, SANDF has no more funds and is in shambles, our Government Hospitals don’t even have money for bedding and our whole health system has collapsed, our police force don’t even have vehicles to go out to a crime scene and most of police officers are the actual criminals.

Nearly every minister in the ANC Government has been involved in corruption , bribery and mismanagement of taxpayers funds. Unemployment is the highest it’s ever been in the history of our country, our education dept has run out of funds and crime is out of control.

People have been put into power who earns millions a year but are as dumb as
