Comical moment for me on Saturday. Having driven to Mthingwa high school for a game with the Blue Stars i was told that it had been switched to the Nkandla Stadium which was a few kms away. I was so pleased as there wasn't a blade of grass on the school pitch and the stadium has a full time groundsman! So i got there and we were messing about waiting for the oppo. I won the team penalty shoot-out comp and was elected taker for the game! Then the boss told us to get changed and did the team sheet (still no sign of oppo) and we jogged to the half way line for the customary inspection by the referee in full kit, shinpads and boots. He took his R120 fee, blew his whistle and my teammates all laughed and we jogged back to the manager! At this stage i asked one of the guys who speaks good English what was happening, and he told me the other team weren't coming and we automatically won 2-0!! Comical, classic moment as i didn't have a clue what was happening and was all stretched and ready to play!
I also had a wry smile on another interview panel yesterday. There was only 1 candidate for a very senior nursing position - the other candidates had been disqualified as they had not produced their documents. When i looked at the nurse's CV, 2 of her referees were on the interview panel!! Is that legal? Surely that is against employment law?! She was very good (and connected) so we gave her the job anyway..
