World Wide Virtual Service Billing Rates

He recently published the following which he gave me permission to publish. Of note is the fact that South Africa doesn't feature.

I don’t hav stats but my gut feel says that there are more Vas in SA than in the Ukraine, and Hungary. The Ukraine’s population is 46 million, Hungary a paltry R10 million.  Our population is 49 million. It would be interesting to find out what percentage of people are Vas and if there eare more in SA or in these countries. After all, Hungary also have political differences and I don’t think can be considered first world. Unless, like the Chinese government, their focus is on education and they have free internet, I cn’t see how they can have more than us. It leads me to wonder whether this bears out something that my colleague Alison Fourie of AMF Typing - who put me in touch with Robert - and I have always wondered. Do South African VAs NOT ADVERTISE?

Public Access to Information Act

Hi all, you've probably heard about PAIA, so what is it and what must you do?


From the South African Human Resources Council Website:

All South African businesses must comply with PAIA – The Public’s Access to Information Act. PAIA legislation creates the framework to the right to access information enshrined in section 32 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, Act 108 of 1996. The purpose of this legislation is to promote a culture of transparency, accountability and good governance both in the private and public sectors. Therefore, the Act places specific compliance requirements on both state institutions and private sector. See here for more information: http://www.sahrc.org.za/home/index.php?ipkContentID=70&ipkMenuID=51

I just googled mine and found the following:
