South Africa Rife with Politicians Lying about Their Qualification
americanthinker.com ^ | 05/26/2019 | Don Boys

Joe Samuels, chief executive of the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA), declared that fraudulent qualifications "are a problem on the African continent."

Many African National Congress (ANC) officials lied about their degrees that qualified them for top government positions — with enormous perks and salary. Daniel Mtimkulu, head of engineering services at PRASA, lied about having a Ph.D. Former minister of cooperative governance and traditional affairs Sicelo Shiceka lied about having a master's degree, and Tembakaze Mnyaka lied about having a master's degree in town planning.

Vincent Mdunge was spokesman for the South African Police Services (SAPS) and was sentenced to five years in jail for fraud. It seems the top cop bought a fake Matric certificate (high school graduation diploma).

The aforementioned rail system is collapsing because of its irregular schedule (a result of scandal at the state-owned power system Eskom) and black thugs harassing and robbing passengers. Now we are told that Daniel Mtimkulu, head of engineering, does not hold a doctorate in engineering from a German university. SABC News reported that Mtimkulu was responsible for the purchase of 20 (other reports say 70) diesel locomotives from a Spanish manufacturer at a cost of six hundred million rand, but the trains are the wrong size for South African railways! Mtimkulu denies it but has resigned under pressure.

Just because somebody doesn’t have any brains, education, training or experience doesn’t mean they don’t want more money.

Also, just because someone doesn’t have a certain certificate doesn’t mean they can’t do a job.

A peek at the credentials of Chicago's government employees would probably astound even these investigators.

They learned that from Demonicrats in the U.S. Congress.

Judging by Congress, having a degree can’t even reassure betting men on the odds that that they aren’t voting for an idiot.

The reporter has obviously neglected to factor in the Adversity Index (AI). Once the AI is taken into account, the entire continent of Africa is in like Flynn.

Wow. I guess providing diplomas is not required?

That's funny!

I'm not interpreting at all. The Deaf South Africa have stopped me.

Why didn't someone from "The Deaf South Africa" send their best person for the funeral in the first place?

I loved this comment, too:

“You can just imagine how difficult it is because interpreting was my future, it was my job. I have to settle for another career...”

How in the world did he think he could have a career signing in gibberish?

Surely human beings realize that a code of ethics, in this case regarding telling the truth about about one's credentials, doesn't just appear out of nowhere. It is foundational to the culture in charge.

There is no honor among thieves. Why should their be?

A political party or gang or company that does not believe they will be held to account by a higher authority (ultimately God) has absolutely no reason NOT to connive, lie, steal, misrepresent, etc. when "pretending" to behave like another culture (or interact with that other culture) that does believe in such accountability.

Africa before Europeans did not (with some minor exceptions like Ethiopia) have a Judea/Christian code of ethics.

Why on Earth would a post-colonial Africa not resort to its original state?

Not passing judgment here, just stating the obvious.
