Two Rob mentions in a title. This pic is taken from the DTI's website, it shows Rob taking delivery of his new Toyota, which was locally manufactured. I'm not going to bother with a link, suffice to say that Rob's Bolshieness is fading somewhat. But once again I digress.
Today we heard the Zuma patsy (it's Shaun O brow, I know you were confused because all the patsies are impossibly incompetent) announce that he was perfectly justified in laying charges against Pravin but new evidence has come to light and now he has applied his mind to dropping the charges. That the charges were non-existent at the time of instituting them escaped our woolly sheep.
And so it has come to pass – actually two months ago and counting, that our esteemed commie zealot of a minister of trade and industry (when we get a competent one I will use uppercase) realised that the requirements for an empowering supplier were either onerous or not applicable to a large number of companies operating within our porous borders. And I quote without actually quoting (thanks for sending this to me Thinus).
any entity measured on or after 1 May 2016 will automatically be recognised as an empowering supplier until further notice is issued
This is so similar to Shaun of the Dead. Surely if the DTI had been so hell-bent on forcing their idiotic ideology on us they would first have checked that all companies operating within our wonderful land could actually be empowering suppliers. Just like Shaun should have actually bothered to check to see whether Pravin et al actually committed a crime. I wonder what pushed Rob over the edge here (he should have jumped off a cliff years ago and retired to the Urals). I suspect that he must have realised that some companies would try not to become empowering suppliers and hence would not bother with a scorecard. Perhaps he realised that verification agencies were going to issue empowering supplier certificates anyway because if they didn't they couldn't continue with the verification – which is where the money is.
Where to now our most fearless red leader? Perhaps you'll remove the negative marking from the scorecard. Maybe you'll realise that the legacy you leave will be personified by ineptitude and that your communist buddies would regard you as a failure too. But in true ANC-style this won't bother you, I for one cannot wait to see the back of you.
I wonder if you get Fortunas in the Urals, I suspect you might in the near future.
