1 position in demand. 10000 people in supply.
We placed two job vacancies for one of my projects. 200 emails & CVs per day is kinda killing me by now. Especially as someone’s screw up meant that these mainly Gauteng-based folk do not realise that they are nowhere near the physical vicinity of the required jobs.“Hi. Thanks for your interest. I have received your CV. Please confirm you are either based in or willing to relocate to ....
Out-sourcing of the Out-based
I can’t say I know much about the Out-Based Education (OBE) model that our government has had going for as long as some kids have moved from Grade R to Matric…. This year’s Matrics are the first of the pure OBE model. But one government official did point out to me with sadness the other day:OBE is so heavy in its requirements for the child to work after school ....
Blocking the drain
I had to chuckle when I saw this article yesterday – Get involved — or no degree.It has been an idea a few of us keep bandying about. Should our state install community service for university students? If the state is paying 60% of a university student’s study fees, then yes. Bring it on!

Reflect & Release
Perhaps I should give up this blogging thing.I don’t have the time of the work day anymore. Which I think is great. It means my work is FINALLY Taking off. I am finally wedging myself into my niche. Recent past conferences have even proven this, with people associating my face with certain development topics. And respecting my grabbed-microphone moments of babble.Perhaps I should be spending the few minutes I ....
GENDER AGENDA
The International AIDS conference started today. In Mexico. I am not upset I am missing the hayhem of an entire HIV-focused world descending on a central point – to get confused and occasionally labour points. I am upset I will not be getting REAL tequila into my system for the next week.Bastardos!So just be aware, you are going to be inundated with random useless already-known HIV-issued articles for the ....
Child Abuse is starting to be national crisis TAKE 2
And then, in amazing coincidence:An exact week ago I posted a blog:Child Abuse is starting to be national crisis ...then this appeared in the headlines today:Sexual abuse of boys endemic in SAWork commitments are more than a touch demanding at present. Thinking is near impossible. Actual typing of a post worth reading is laughable. The office, desk and internet will be out of my sights till Friday morning. ....
