@kombiyuta @kloudCoder The environment will dictate what the predominance will be. Curate a different kind of environment if you want innovators and entrepreneurs, else party card holders and street vendors will continue to be the norm.

@MyJRA @CityofJoburgZA @_ArriveAlive @GPDRT_ @JoburgMPD @GTP_Traffstats @RegionF_Joburg @CityPowerJhb @CoJTransport What took you so long to discover what people have seen walking and driving past for a long time? You guys are not serious.

@ny_emman 🤣🤣🤣🤣😅

[Sipho Ngwenya @seeps001]

@kafuumajo871 @akech_andrew Good point. Another model could have been something similar to the financing of GERD in Ethiopia.

[Sipho Ngwenya @seeps001]

@RewardKangai @MinistryofTID "2nd Republic" standards!

[Sipho Ngwenya @seeps001]

@M_Jay94 @eajene That's how they maintain their healthy margins. The network is designed to be suboptimal from a service perspective but just good enough for acceptable churn rate, helped by a lack of competition. The service fees, drop calls, dropped data/USSD sessions are also by design.

@MthuliNcube01 Is this really a national priority? Be honest!!!

[Sipho Ngwenya @seeps001]

@mr_tm86 @buhle_matsha 😂😂😂😂😂 Ignorance is no excuse. Use your keyboard to do a little research for yourself. Simply start with the squatter camp conditions - there was a humanitarian crisis for many years

[Sipho Ngwenya @seeps001]

@usiphoe @ny_emman Exactly

[Sipho Ngwenya @seeps001]

@ny_emman There should be municipal by-laws defining these classification and naming claims, similar to hospitality star ratings. It should set minimal standards, footprint, amenities/facilities, etc.

[Sipho Ngwenya @seeps001]

@ny_emman The lack of leadership. It should be a national priority to put together a task force to conduct modern geological studies. The legal battle can continue in the background.

@MrVickk @BloseNombulelo @MusaaRonalds Save your energy. Others don't want to get off their high horse.

[Sipho Ngwenya @seeps001]

@ny_emman Why aren't some of these proposals not entailed in the recently updated masterplan? Or are they?

[Sipho Ngwenya @seeps001]

@DavidColtart Good initiative! It would be great to also have NUST and Polytech also participate, skills transfer, localisation, etc.

[Sipho Ngwenya @seeps001]

@MalunjwaMalusi @brunfocused They don't care to introspect and face facts. They rather think they are better than others. The same behaviour they are now being critical of. This is why history keeps repeating itself.

[Sipho Ngwenya @seeps001]

@brunfocused You are just ignorant. Research your history

[Sipho Ngwenya @seeps001]

@zebrajays @tmukogo Exactly. Without an appreciation of Airtel's marketshare relative to Econet's the analysis is half-baked.

[Sipho Ngwenya @seeps001]

@samkebusiness "Intellectuals" 😉

[Sipho Ngwenya @seeps001]

@paulcrespo007 @RpsAgainstTrump So in other words it's unnecessary then

[Sipho Ngwenya @seeps001]

@ny_emman You'll be shocked to know how little local content is in there 😭😭😭 It has been an ongoing battle for over 15yrs to increase the %, there has been some progress but not enough. Political interference/defence of Alstom is major contributor. Same issue with Bombardier/Gautrain.
