@BuddyWells1 Perhaps stick to Music because economics is really not your thing.

@FanieSP Happy to discuss any point that I make that you disagree with. If you can’t argue a point, and just want to disparage, I’m happy to block.

@BuddyWells1 What's the reason for unnecessary outsourcing?

@Chaldon_P Corruption.

@BuddyWells1 Outsourcing exists because the ANC gvt prioritises the tendering system and because it lacks capacity. How is the media to blame for SoE failure to deliver?

@lonwabo___ I very seldom read newspaper article about corruption that properly identifies the tender system that allows unnecessary outsourcing / procurement as the problem, and calls for stopping unnecessary outsourcing & for proper overseeing of procurement instead of privatisation.

@BuddyWells1 So are you saying that the losses are made up? That the implosion of their business activities is made up? The real issue lies in the skills and technical abilities of the staff. the technocrats were replaced by bureaucrats highly politicised. Start there

@marquis_john I’m not saying that at all. Read it again.

@BuddyWells1 The media has been captured long before the state. Same playbook everywhere.

@BuddyWells1 Yes. I thought it was just my theory but I'm glad I'm not alone in thinking this

@BuddyWells1 By outsourcing you mean under preferential procurement with its economic rents?
