Following up on my post of the 14th about one of the key reasons Telkom is battling to 
keep pace with demand, namely a shortage of skilled professionals.
ITWeb on the 17th had an article titled :
"Skills dearth quantified, says minister"
In which it becomes apparent that the exact figures of where we lack skills is not as easily found as the minister claims. So far, no one has been able to do more than produce a list of the groupings, which are:
* ICT managers;
* ICT project managers;
* call/contact centre and customer services managers;
* business and systems analysts and programmers;
* software and applications programmers;
* software engineers;
* multimedia specialists;
* network and support professionals;
* ICT security specialists and dimensional controllers;
* database administrators;
* telecommunications engineering professionals;
* ICT hardware technicians;
* ICT support technicians;
* electronics instrument trade workers; and
* telecommunications trades workers.
The bolding I put in there. Now I'd like to see those figures and find out just how little rocking horse dung we do have!
