@Cardia_79 Maak reg vir 'n oproep 5 uur die middag: "Ma, die slang lyk honger!" en dan moet jy jaag om muise, rotte of konyne te kry.

@SkyeZedA @GarethCliff How does Trucaller make money because their app is free?

They sell blocks of numbers that may include your number to telemarketers. During that time, your number is unblocked, so unsolicited calls still come through.

@JohanFourieZA The Constitution states that is must be fair, transparent, equitable and value for money; it fails on all four counts!

[Greybeard @Jan_0656]

@JohanFourieZA On the scale of procurement evolution, the current system is feom the T. rex era. Progressive companies move to a paperless system where suppliers are paid based on buy-off points. The cost of T. rex procurement is collossal as opposed to procurement where the cost is almost zero

[Greybeard @Jan_0656]

@JohanFourieZA Ownership-based exclusion actually reverses off the evolutionary curve beyond the very dark ages.

It is not only price gourging but also the cost of procurement self that will result in higest total cost ever.

There is no impact study on ZA's state procurement.

@AprilSnowGoose @RenaldoGouws @VFPlus Too late for damage control. The DA has shown its true colours and it is not blue.

@errolbsk Then they are complicit.

@SizakeleMa43649 @BrendaWardle The biggest challenge for managers today is talent management. Youngsters are very knowledgable, but don't have the patience dealing with incompetent managers.

[Greybeard @Jan_0656]

@SizakeleMa43649 @BrendaWardle It is the same in every company, department, municipality and SOE. You cannot be more clever than your boss, he will make your life miserable. Most companies today is run on procedures, if you try to innovate, you're out!

Read up on "Peter's Principle".

@BrendaWardle They are there to check that junior officers don't do something "wrong".

@Cardia_79 Een wetter wat gefire is, laat sommer my koffie beter proe.

[Greybeard @Jan_0656]

@Cardia_79 Erg! En dis in die topstrukture waar dit so gaan. Gelukkig gaan Sander 'n nuwe koffiemasjien kry. Dink net, jou bevelvoerder steel jou koffiemasjien en jy moet 'n leunverklikker toets ondergaan.

@esomolekae What is Capt Nel doing these days? When will he testify?

How can he still be employed by SAPS?

[Greybeard @Jan_0656]

@IanCameron23 @nicholasgotsell @MPLSchickerling @Our_DA For example, vehicle suppliers can't deliver contracted, standard vehicles, this allows SAPS to source (often luxury) vehicles from other manufacturers. These are then used by upper management, leaving members on the ground without transport.

[Greybeard @Jan_0656]

@IanCameron23 @nicholasgotsell @MPLSchickerling @Our_DA SAPS also knows how to play the budget game. Order are delayed towards the end of the financial year, when big orders are placed. Suppliers then can't fulfill these orders and a letter is sent to SAPS, which in turn hands it to Treasury, allowing them to create "free money".

[Greybeard @Jan_0656]

@IanCameron23 @nicholasgotsell @MPLSchickerling @Our_DA The warehouse is also a dedicated warehouse, each item has a specific place, leading to a very large warehouse with not much in it. Supplier deliveries take place in bulk, requiring a very big space.

It is preferable to have smaller, more frequent supplier deliveries.

[Greybeard @Jan_0656]

@IanCameron23 @nicholasgotsell @MPLSchickerling @Our_DA These kits also have an expiry date, ordering too many will lead to wastage. Police stations are only allowed to order on certain days which leads to illogical demand patterns. Unfulfilled orders are often not met.
