Makes you wonder what kind of money our government have in reserve. I mean what would Eskom have been able to achieve with a cash injection like that, or what about low cost housing for the poor. How many families can 6.5 million feed? I’m glad to see I’m not the only one that immediately saw this from a political point of view.

This kind of nepotism has been going on since the apartheid era, it was just easier to spot back then as the politicians were not in the habit of marrying their cousins. A rational person cannot believe that the 6.5m was really a fair or adequate amount to spend on a website with a 1.5yr lifespan, unless of course they hire me to do the job. I would have done the whole site in Frontpage 98 for half that amount! Well Alan hit it on the ‘nose’ but why be surprised?

We have all been down the road of being completely astounded when such a sum is paid for a web site. It still gives me the creeps when people refuse to pay even 5 grand for a site and now this! Seems to me that these guys are living too close to the Transkei and helping the farmers move product at a rapid rate. An open source CMS would have been more than adequate. I wonder just how much the Durban Municipality is being charged for maintenance, hosting, content updates and whether that includes some serious SEO? (And ranking high for 2010 Durban World Cup does NOT count) Putting his index finger to his nose and bending it to the left he says; “You obviously don’t know a guy who knows a guy, kapeesh?”
