Just love seeing Batty getting her panties in a bunch. I  suppose no one thought of getting SAPO to just buy CPS and have a seamless transition. What's a couple of billion here or there? This has to have been the most drawn out and expensive reinventing of a wheel in hooman history. Serge, how much do you want mate? OK, deal! Job done. Let's shake on it. Few people realise that NET1's Grosvenor House's basement contains the server farm that makes the SASSA payments work. So when you drive past it on Jan Smuts every morning just think how that small hole in the ground has been so largely ignored. And, unlike Nkandlaaaaa, it is not a National Keypoint. Go figure. And Grindrod Bank has the entire database and biometrics for all the beneficiaries. Grindrod Bank? Eish. More like Schrodinger's Cat. Mark Barnes can just use the SAPO offices for issuing new cards, SASSA offices can capture new claimant's details. The payout trucks can carry on, business as usual. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM HERE?
