I will try to keep this light-hearted, but the following applies to how things are done at all state-run enterprises;
Traditional wisdom tells us that if your horse dies, you should get another horse. Excepting if you work for a state owned and run enterprise. Then it is expected you should adopt more advanced strategies. Here are some examples:
1.Buy a bigger whip.
2.Change the rider.
3.Appoint a commitee to study the dead horse.
4.Send your committee to other countries to determine how they ride dead horses.
5.Lower the standards so that a dead horse can still be regarded as alive.
6.Re-classify dead horses as "vitality challenged"
7.Appoint a consultant to conduct courses on the best way to ride a dead horse.
8.Put two or more dead horses together as a team to improve productivity
9.Make extra funds available for further training of dead horses
10.Examine the possibility of appointing smaller riders for dead horses
11.Publish, with great fanfare, a break-through; dead horses are more cost effective because you dont have to feed them
12.If nothing else works, giv ethe dead horse a cabinet appointment
This is the way things are done in SA, whether it be soccer dead horses or SAA!
