iterator24:3D? Since when have you seen 3D so real? You must be crazy, hehehehe. South African townships have shopping malls. We are talking about townships not cities. Do your villages there in Nigeria have shopping malls and big hospitals? |
iterator24:Stop posting wrong pictures to mislead people. Stop posting pictures from Kenya and make them look as if they are from South Africa. Please, replace that garbage just like your fellow friend did. http://www.africangametreksafaris.com/kenya%20pro%20slum%20tour.htm |

iterator24:Anyway, let me just give you a clip.
|
Today in South Africa most people who live on slums are foreigners. Period and that's a fact. Like it or not. |
iterator24:Wrong, that's how Alex is today as in 2015. Please stop posting that old Alexandra township that shows people who are no more. What? Umlazi in Durban. Bring it on or should I start? |
iterator24:Alex has developed from that. However, you do remind me of that old Alex township when life was still tough for a black man. http://mobi.iol.co.za/#!/article/south-africans-blamed-for-alex-issues-1.1162514

Lezzlie:Still, South Africans get far better services than Nigerians from water, sanitations, electricity and transport. |
MduZA:Bwahahahahaha… Nigerians got the beating e erytime from the Zulus. |
Lezzlie:Nope, they we Mozambicans who forged SA names. |
Lezzlie:The facts on the ground from me is that we have marked over a month without any power cuts and that is a sign of progress. |
Lezzlie:Our problems are now becoming over before we even can expect them to be done by 2018. Bwahahaha… |
Lezzlie:The guys were Mozambicans. http://www.iol.co.za/news/south-africa/joburg-gripped-by-paranoia-1.401802?ot=inmsa.ArticlePrintPageLayout.ot I quote When Lucky Dube was murdered, even musicians blamed the Mozambicans. Ink wept from letter writers in Maputo, Machava and Vilanculos. The bandits that killed Lucky, they said, did so because they are bandits, not because they are Mozambicans. He was better loved there than here. |
Lezzlie:Most Mozambicans use fraudulent SA name to make it look like they are South Africans. For example we have many Emmanuel Sithole who are South Africans and some are Mozambicans like the one who was killed recently in SA. |
Brian Molefe is new man at the helm taking Eskom to the new highs and ensuring that load sheddings come to an end in a very short space of time.
|
One month without load shedding. All with constant electricity supply 24-7. We are slowly sating goodbye to those three hours power cuts once or twice a week. |
Lezzlie:It is Sunday morning and we are yet to experience load shedding. Sorry. http://citizen.co.za/690434/eskom-hope-for-no-sunday-load-shedding/ |
Lezzlie:Today it marks exactly one month with zero load shedding in SA. We thank medupe unit 6 to have been successfully intergrated in our grid. Next year there will be two more and in 2017 it will be one unit from newly build Kusile powerstation and from there it will be goodbye to loadsheddings. Nigeria is not even experiencing load shedding a because they don't have power. |
patches689:The truth is very very few of Nigerians have access to electricity with only three power stations which are operational. The majority use noisy generators day in and day out. |
Lezzlie:Sorry!! Lucky Dube was killed by Mozambican. |
agaugust:I called you my friend so that we can have a companionship of understanding. I stand to correct you that out procurement system differs with that of Nigeria. Signing of an agreement that not mean that everything else is final my friend. You always claim to have studied to Masters level but you really don't know how procurement system works. That's a shame on your part. |
The reason why an agreement or memorandum of understanding (MOU) should be signed before any bidding can commence is because there should be legal framework upon which the duties and responsibilities of both parties will be outlined. |
agaugust:Agaugust my friend, I am working with procurements. Should we have any project perhaps of replacing old tiles and ceiling or renovating our buildings and replacing old air-conditioners, we usually request service providers to sign for an agreement and declaration where they will then be captured on our database. If advertisements are made to tender, only those who have signed for an agreement and at that time on our database will be considered for shortlisting. |
Every bidder has to sign that agreement even if they will ultimately not get the contract For example, read this source. http://mobi.iol.co.za/#!/article/russia-leads-race-to-build-sa-nuclear-plants-1.1871220 |
