  • UK rail PPP

    I am not convinced that the UK rail PPPs have been such a success. Could you check the current situation and let me know?

  • Don't read this, just go listen

    Not just one, but two SA national treasures. Who actually make sense!

    If it weren't for the government that prefers their ships sinking, the one would instead be delivering Post Office mail; if the tech worked on a newspaper instead of a screen, the other would still be busy tinkering with an ink press. Instead you get their groans and wisecracks for free on this podcast. Required listening for any business-minded South African.
