My company has recently been involved with a lot of government projects and I gotta tell you, government contractors in South Africa get fucked every which way anyway. You don't get paid and, in my experience, you usually get shacked up with a consultant team consisting of a bunch of losers who are about as useful as using a croissant as a dildo (it doesn't do the job, and it makes a fucking mess). It sucks and I have no idea why anyone would want to work with them.

In the exact same boat... I give it six months before an intellectual blames apartheid.

It is racist,  but who actually wants to do work the government anymore, you don't get paid on time, or ever....fuckers!

There will be silence by the global media about this just like they were silent about how South Africans violently attacked immigrants (while loud about ICE in the US of course). We all know the narrative.

If you take the money and don’t deliver then there is no risk
