Just smashing it up - whoever was doing that didn't know what they were doing.
Not being nasty or anything, but I live in South Africa... is there anyone here qualified or able to do the job properly?
Even if the senior guy in a company has the necessary expertise chances are that the workers won't have a clue and any attempt to rein them in and force them to do things properly will lead to strikes and unrest.
Heck, these days we can't even do something as simple as keeping the lights on!
