Ref number 1186310551.. Apparently a truck hit a pole and the wires on the main road... @Eskom_SA, your Matooster branch needs to do better...

[Koketso @koketsocox]

@Eskom_SA, Mabeskraal, part of Selocha section has not had power since Tuesday. I logged a call last night and today, I got feedback saying that the issue has been resolved but we still don't have power..

[Koketso @koketsocox]

@__ria_girl Very sad indeed..

@SizweDhlomo, I thought I was tuned into a different station... 😳

[Koketso @koketsocox]

@Eskom_SA, Recently, the power goes on and off intermittently everyday without fail between 16:00pm and 19:30pm.. We have old people whose fridges are not working because of that. One house in the very same section does not have power whatsoever..

[Koketso @koketsocox]

@Eskom_SA, @Eskom, your branch in Matooster (Moses Kotane municipality) is useless... We have been logging complaints since December regarding low voltage in one of the sections in Mabeskraal village... They keep on closing the calls without solving the issues...

Aowa! @SizweDhlomo, what song is this now? Tigh bone connects to the neck bone...

Serious industrial nations don’t take accountants as seriously as South Africa does.

In industrialising nations, like Vietnam and surrounding states, for instance, the most prestigious roles are found in engineering or industrial management because the economy is physically building things.

Meanwhile, in South Africa, SAICA’s CA(SA) is viewed as the ultimate golden ticket.

But it’s not only in developing/industrialising nations where accountants take a back seat. In the US, Germany and Japan, CEOs are generally product people or engineers, while in South Africa, a massive percentage of JSE-listed CEOs are chartered accountants.

The reason for this is that the South African economy has been deindustrialising for decades, so the existing companies don’t grow by inventing new things or expanding production. They “grow” through the financial engineering of mergers, acquisitions, cost-cutting, and “tax optimisation”.

The consequence of this is that if you compare SA to an employment-dense industrialiser like Vietnam, you find that the latter focuses on vocational excellence. Over there, an accountant is just a back-office functionary who supports the factory. The hero is the plant manager who meets a production quota.

But South Africa, to its detriment, is obsessed with compliance excellence. The factory, if it even exists, is a “risk” to be managed, and the chartered accountant is the high-priest who tells the board if that risk is acceptable.

By taking accountants this seriously, South Africa has perfected the art of measuring value, but has neglected the art of creating real tangible value.

The worship and adoration of the CA(SA) is a symptom of a services-led economy that has skipped the labour-intensive industrialisation phase, and this is primarily why the unemployment epidemic cannot be resolved.

🚨BREAKING: iShowSpeed reveals what really happened to his Cairo IRL stream in Egypt — and why it was taken down — while speaking during his Sahara stream in Algeria.

Towards the end of the Egypt stream, Speed rented a private boat and checked in advance whether the music being played would cause any copyright issues. After being reassured there would be no problems, the stream went ahead as planned.

Once the stream ended, Speed discovered that one of the Egyptian artists had copyright-claimed the entire VOD, attempting to take all ad revenue from the broadcast. What the artist didn’t realise is that YouTube allows creators to remove or replace copyrighted sections.

Speed removed the claimed audio, replaced it with copyright-free YouTube music, and re-uploaded the VOD. As a result, the final minutes of the Cairo stream now feature random stock music while Speed’s original audio is muted — after the attempted revenue grab failed.
