They once DID pay a lot more especially down the southern end of africa where Herc & I once were.
I have been lead to believe that the T & C's have been getting progressively worse. Some people like living in Hassi for a month at a time some dont.
It will be interesting to see if they change with more work coming to the northern end of the sandpit or if they are just racing to the bottom against the South Africans?
