Dear Cyril – Why No Trimming of Jobs? Why no Business Turnaround Strategy?

By

FtF – Fire the Fargers

I listened to you talk this evening about corruption and how you are going to try and stop it. With due respect – what you propose is closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.

All I hear is you creating jobs for the nine enforcement agencies that have been shackled for years anyway.

Let’s have a quick look at how you turn around a failing business – because South Africa, as a business, has failed:

  1. You trim costs
  2. You retrench, fire and enforce a hiring ban/headcount freeze
  3. You increase sales
  4. You find new lower cost suppliers
  5. You (effectively) use sub or independent contractors

So, Cyril, which of the 5 points above have you done?
