With the next game coming up, I must say, I’m not expecting much from the Springboks. Don’t get me wrong as a country, South Africa has a ridiculous amount of rugby talent. It’s just that were not using the best of it to compete. In order to win consistently, you need to be using the […]

It must be a bad dream
If your anything like me, you will have watched the unfolding drama and devastation that is Covid with part dread and part certainty that this will soon be over and be like a stain on your table cloth. It’s hard to get rid of the stain but it does’nt make the tablecloth less useful, well […]
The leaders we deserve
There is a saying that the people get the leaders that they deserve. We have an ANC government with a minority opposition. There is huge corruption in this government, and ineptness followed by giving BEE deals to family members, friends and other bigwigs within the ruling party. Now South Africa is not alone in having […]

In this specific instance, it’s a friendship in particular or rather an ex friendship in particular, it’s past tense. While working at a large corporate, I became friends with a guy, we will call him […]
Worst ISP rated
It’s happened to most of us. Were excited about getting access to the internet. In this case, fibre, not just ADSL, thank you very much. You proudly share your plans with friends and family who all make the appropriate noises of approbation. You spend some time day dreaming how your going to download content, perhaps […]
It’s called Customer Service
Since the Covid virus struck the World, there has been global consequences from our health, our economy, inter personal stress and conflict to geo political confrontation, however, one thing that many of us took not necessarily for granted but as the norm was customer service. In a variety of industries from Healthcare, to utilities, to […]
