Last year we heard that the IEC (Independent Electoral Commission, who oversee our electoral process ensuring a free and fair election) would have their website overhauled so that it was compliant in all browsers, at a cost of R3million!
Now that might sound like a lot of money, it might not. If it was tax payers money (which I’m sure it was partly/wholely funded - then I’m disgsted and I want my share back!
Just look at these IEC website and even more shockingly the WorldCup 2010 website supposedly promoting the event for South Africa in 2010.
Now, a quick cursory check in the source of the website revelas that the author was proud enough of his work to put his name in the meta-tags.
Just take a look at this guy’s “resume” - wonder how he got the job? Pathetic!
I’ve been in this industy and business for a long time now and I know you can achieve 1000 times better quality work for 1% of what was spent - truly shocking to say the least!

For 3 million rands I'd expect far better functionality and complete compatibility with all browsers and operating systems. As a tax payer, I echo the sentiment: "I want my share back!".

I know of people with very limited web development experience who can make a better site than the WorldCup2010 site. It's supposed to be international advertising! I'm embarrassed to be a Seffrican

Oxygen thieves!

I thought the IEC website was really very basic. Then I looked at the WorldCup2010 website. It's a disgrace!! It looks like a badly designed school project!

My word. The World Cup 2010 website is horrid. I made better websites then that when I was 12. Absolutely disgusting! Good grief!

I will regard myself as a proud South African who puts pride and effort into my work. If this this is a representation of our standards, I am poorly disappointed.
