SAICA, the Employment Tax Incentive, iCollege and a hair band called Winger

Puerile writes and Davies responds.

The reader might be unaware that this blog's curator took the Duncan McLeod article to the Daily Maverick with his (not Duncan's) typical anti- bolshie twist. It was a more sanitised version of my normal blog posts, no bolshie bob... Continue reading

Bolshie bob gets a high court bollocking - this must open the doors for more litigation

There are two types of people in this world, Harry van der Merwe and everybody else. I happen to like Harry - can't be sure about most other people, specifically if they are anc appointees. Harry sent this to me... Continue reading

Cyril - dankie vir fokol. Less than fokol

This is a repost from 2010 (yes the blog is that old - actually it's older than that) Cyril has in effect given us fokol. Those of us who have more than fokol can be grateful. Most South Africans have... Continue reading

My fok Slaptjips - ek will fokken plakkies koop (and not on the black market)

Balls to the wall – rubber BAT or has a deal been struck

There are half a million signatures in the anti-tobacco ban petition. That's 500,000 (yes five hundred thousand South Africans) who oppose this ban. BAT had a problem too with the ban and threatened to go to court, but now they... Continue reading

At last a corporation with balls – actually BAT and balls

Long have I lamented about how corporate South Africa kowtowing to the ridiculousness that is the anc. It took zoomer's removal of Nene for it to get its voice. And even then it was controlled and measured. And state-endorsed corruption... Continue reading

The tourism minister and section 10 and being forced to listen to a 702 newsclip

I stopped listening to 702 because of YouseewhatadoosIam McHysbak. I don't think 702 misses me but I do wish they'd fire this idiot (I'm not using very fiery language on purpose). I was sent this article which contains an interview... Continue reading

Day 21 and the education system evolves. Online is the future, even the Basic Education department knows that

The major concern in my neighbourhood is booze and smokes. Chuck can get smokes but they are Zimbabwean, Brandon doesn't mind any smokes as long as they are toasted. Marlon can get Marlboros at twice the price, Nancy is interested.... Continue reading

BEE is for the good times – these AREN’T good times

Well this was the original intention, until bolshie bob was launched upon us. His commie-addled mind could not understand that you can't grow and share if there is no growth. It wasn't a surprise that this little vignette hit the... Continue reading

Third day of quarantine, Cornonavirus explained by Tom King

I think that the biggest problem we face is that we don't really understand how serious this virus is. The Italians will tell you it's very serious, the Chinese know how serious it is. We are on 202 cases as... Continue reading

We need a dti holiday and accredited Verification Agencies (March 2020)

Before I go into the number of VAs (79 of them) there is something else that needs to be discussed. And it's the dti and their BEE codes. The economy is now comfortably in a recession, productivity is decreasing substantially... Continue reading

SANAS has corona to the party with amended verification regulations. It was all my doing I tell you

This was sent to me by my old friend Obed. I wonder whether this wasn't as a result of yesterday's post (it probably was). Considering the number of requests and correspondences in reference to the COVID-19 pandemic, SANAS has reviewed... Continue reading

Carry on Corona, will SANAS notice that things are not normal

It's so obvious - every BEE verification agency is going to get massive non-conformances because of the Coronavirus. I can just see DeeStructive telling their frightened agencies that they should have foreseen Coronavirus and done all their verification before it... Continue reading

Verification agencies - not all are fascists, the air with Benito is cleared

If you read my diatribe about Benito in the last post, you would have witnessed a pissed off author who can't spell polyphagous correctly (thanks Harry for pointing this out). There was a subsequent conversation with Benito. The top analyst... Continue reading
