(Sandile Zungu's) contemptuous attitude to BEE hand-outs is rich given that he himself was only too keen to accept what would have been one of the biggest hand-outs in the history of BEE through a stake in the Ayigobi consortium which he was invited to join shortly before it scored an R800-million deal with ArcelorMittal SA.
Sadly for him, and for one of Zuma's sons who was another member of the well-connected consortium, the deal went sour.
Zungu was widely reported at the time as conceding that it was "money for jam".
He denies that he said that, but there is little doubt that he is, in the words of BEE authority Reg Rumney, "one of these guys who's always been in the right place at the right time". (Yes but will he when Zoomer is booted out?)
The contemptuousness refers to Prasa's Lucky Montana telling Zungu and his BBC ilk to mind their own business when it comes to the fleet renewal tender. A little different to what I thought the BBC were up to with the Prasa fleet renewal programme. They are a complete waste of time.
On the subject of a waste of time (even though we will have to waste our time with it), Rob has gazetted the ICT Charter under section 9 (1). Gazette number 35423. He's known about it for two months plus - now we know about it.
