Apparently a large number of rooms (conference) were hired in a luxury hotel in Beijing by the South African Olympic administration with the view to using them to “advertise” South Africa and the 2010 Soccer World Cup.
True to form these rooms are being under utilised and when a spokesman for the SA olympic administration was queried he came across as a person who has no communication skills and does not know about the cost factor versus “advertising” and “goodwill” he should have had.
When I sat listening to this interview I thought that my “gardener” could have handled the situation better than the inept man they had sent across to organise the programme to provide information about SA to the world.
Once again the tax payers money is being wasted because they do not employ people who are qualified for the job to go and represent South Africa.
