As he borrows notes from George W Bush
[permalink]

I have purposefully steered clear of articles slamming Telkom, as it's all too obvious - to a point that it becomes boring. It's like writing articles about how badly the taxi's drive - "Well, gee, what incredible insight!". In fact, one of the only mentions I have made about Telkom in recent history was when I said that you can use the word "fuck" when explaining the spelling of a name to the Telkom phone operators - and they don't bat an eyelid. Now that's fun.

But today is different, because today I am commenting on Telkom CEO, Papi Molotsane who has indicated that he, no doubt, counts George W Bush as one of his major influences. It is not often that you find a CEO of a national company coming up with explanations that mirror that of a 5 year old. Keep in mind that this was at a presentation of Telkom's financial results, a forum that you think would call for a rehearsal of sorts. Maybe even some notes, at the very least. Enjoy this:

"If we do not keep pace with technology, we will die a slow death,
and we don't want to die because we want to keep on living."
- Papi Molotsane, 2006

You're absolutely right, Papi! Staying alive is EXACTLY why we don't want to die. And there we were thinking that we didn't want to die because we would no longer have access to Fashion TV! It makes so much sense now!

Telkom - breeding geniuses

Nice one, Papi - keep 'em coming.
