You don't understand the fundamuntals Trever 12/05/2008 14:44
eNatis is a BEE "intitiative" and sure everyone understands that there is no rocket science needed to design such as system. You need to, however, understand the bigger picture - viz, a few people became very rich and now someone else (the "fixer-upper") will also get rich. This is the "African" way! - bokkie |

We must accept hey 12/05/2008 14:49
Well we as citizens wanted to vote for change and we got what we voted for well ANC supporters in general so just accept that its part of the New South Africa and wait your turn even if it takes a few years. If you dont have the money to buy things from under the table you will get nowere in this country. O and yet we pay extra for this "wonderfull" working system everytime you renew your license or just ask for a copy. - Nastassia |

As a Software Developer 12/05/2008 14:51
This is SUCH a ripoff. FIRSTLY, the forum software used is an OPEN SOURCE PACKAGE (Free). Then maybe, the developers had to handcode a few components. R600 million, for something I could have coded in a month (MAX), for a FRACTION of the cost. Some BEE dude laughed his ass off all the way to the bank. - Sinudeity |

Stop the African way rubbish for once. 12/05/2008 14:55
This Afro-pessimism should stop. Yes, there are problems in this country, but to say this is an African way is downright bull dust. Not so long ago they were crying to be called Africans, maybe they are right, just need to look at the mirror when blaming Africa. The system was introduced to fight corruption and illegal licences whose holders cause serious damage to our economy. - Libembe |

"Can't believe..." 12/05/2008 14:56

eNatis probably 12/05/2008 14:56
cost R1 million, the other R599 mil went into the pockets of corrupt government officials. And looking at who wants to disband the Scorpions, it is clear to whom the corrupt officials are working for. - Tired of this |

Libembe - Not Pessimism 12/05/2008 15:13
Just a BLATANT ripoff. ANY other software house could have done this for R50k. But no, you need a BEE partner, and some government officials, and the cost works out to R600 MILLION!!! Ive created booking systems before (One of our low budget airlines). It didn't even come to R100,000. YOU and ME (Taxpayers) are getting RIPPED OFF. Some BEE business man is loaded, and 1 or 2 government officials. - Sinudeity |

Process 12/05/2008 15:20
Trevor,
Its clear that you do not fully comprehend the process involved. Whilst you are correct in your view that the average computer science graduate could write the application, this is largely irrelevant in the overall process. A single person, or a small team of developers, providing an efficient and cost effective solution, flies in the face of all that the government is trying to achieve. I suggest that you go back and study how African governments work in order make sense of eNatis. - Billy Bob |

NOT A QUESTION OF POOR SOFTWARE - THE PEOPLE WORKING WITH IT ARE TOO "SLEG" AND OVERPAID TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE -- THEY ARE NOT INCOMPETANT NOR UNTRAINED - JUST PLAIN LAZY - FS |

Hey Libembe ? 12/05/2008 15:23
Don't want to worry you buddy, But ..."It's The African Way" !!! Just look North all across Mother Africa. Ouch, the truth hurts I know. - Badger |

I agree with Libembe... 12/05/2008 15:23
...It's not the African way...it's the way of a corrupt administration kept in power by an ignorrant voter base who vote with their hearts rather than their heads. - jkc |

eNaughtis 12/05/2008 15:38
Judging by the info Sinudeity offers these guys who have made their millions from a simple system which should'nt cost a fraction as much as R600mill should be refered to Stephen Hawking for "Africas Einstein".They're bloody geniuses!1+1=R600 mill.Astounding! - psycobabble |
