I like this bunch too much (I am somewhat biased in fact). They are a medium-sized software development shop, making games, building mobile platforms that are spanning across Africa as we speak. They are also sitting with a bunch of .Net craftsmen who are curious creatures diving deep to get the best results. If you are reading this, you could be the next Senior Dev to join their team!

Some other cool benefits include free lunch, beer, arcade games, etc., casual Friday every single day. A place where work is play!

When it comes to skills this is what we need:

  • Eight+ years’ experience coding in C#, Asp.NET/.Net Core (they are looking for an engineering mindset, so you need to understand the nuts and bolts and how the go together)
  • WCF/Swagger/REST
  • Modern JavaScript – Angular or React or Vue.JS
  • SQL Server – you also know how to get into nitty-gritty optimizing and performance-based concepts.
  • Some cloud would be nice but it’s not a deal-breaker if you don’t have it: Azure or AWS
  • Openshift or Kubernetes or Docker – they do not know what tools they will use yet, but the concepts are coming soon

Qualifications

  • Relevant tertiary qualification in engineering or computer science

Reference Number for this position is ND50072-2020 which is a permanent position based in Pretoria offering a cost to company up to R1m negotiable on experience and ability. Contact Nicole D on or call her on 011 463 3633 to discuss this and other opportunities.

North
Korea declares emergency after ‘runaway’ virus defector returns 

Seoul
– North Korean authorities have imposed a lockdown on the border city of
Kaesong after discovering what they called the country’s first suspected case
of the novel coronavirus, state media reported on Sunday.

Leader Kim Jong Un convened an
emergency politburo meeting on Saturday to implement a “maximum emergency
system and issue a top-class alert” to contain the virus, official news
agency KCNA said.

If confirmed, it would be the
first officially recognised Covid-19 case in the North where medical
infrastructure is seen as woefully inadequate for dealing with any epidemic.

KCNA said a defector who had left
for the South three years ago returned on 19 July after “illegally
crossing” the heavily fortified border dividing the countries.

But there have been no reports in
the South of anyone leaving through what is one of the world’s most secure
borders, replete with minefields and guard posts.

Pyongyang has previously insisted
not a single case of the coronavirus had been seen in the North despite the
illness having swept the globe, and the country’s borders remain closed.

The patient was found in Kaesong
City, which borders the South, and “was put under strict quarantine”,
as would anybody who had come in close contact, state media said.

It was a “dangerous
situation… that may lead to a deadly and destructive disaster”, the
media outlet added.

President Cyril Ramaphosa’s spokesperson Khusela Diko has taken a leave of absence from all her roles in government, pending investigations into allegations involving her and her husband and tender regulations in the Gauteng Department of Health.

In a statement issued on Monday evening, Minister in the Presidency Jackson Mthembu said Diko had requested the Presidency to allow her to take leave of absence.

“The Minister in the Presidency, who is her immediate supervisor, as well as the President of the Republic, [has] accepted her request for leave of absence whilst the allegations are being investigated. The Presidency has appointed Mr Tyrone Seale to act in the position of spokesperson to the president whilst Ms Diko is on leave.”

Sunday Independent reported that a R125-million personal protective equipment (PPE) contract was allegedly awarded to disputed AmaBhaca king, Madzikane II Thandisizwe Diko, who is her husband.

Diko and her husband maintain the money was never paid to his company and the contract was never finalised, Sunday Times previously reported.

News24.com | Rassie on World Cup final: ‘I kept asking, can we still lose this?’

You Need Posted on by

  • Springbok World Cup winning coach Rassie Erasmus says even with five minutes to play, he was nervous about the result.
  • “I kept asking Mzwandile Stick (assistant coach), can we still lose this?”
  • After the final whistle went, “I felt embarrassed,” he says.

“I thought s**t, life can’t be this unfair again.”

This is what was going through the mind of Springbok World Cup winning coach Rassie Erasmus as the clock wound down at the Yokohama Stadium in Japan on 2 November last year during the final against England.

At that stage, the Springboks had put themselves in a position to win the game thanks to tries by wingers Makazole Mapimpi and Cheslin Kolbe.

Erasmus’s nerves were down to him still being haunted by previous World Cup campaigns.

Springbok fans will remember a Bryce Lawrence refereeing special in the 2011 quarter-final against Australia (yes, we are still talking about that) put paid to any Bok challenge at that edition, while the jury is still out on whether the shock loss to Japan or the two-point defeat at the hands of the All Blacks – who made it back to back titles with the 2015 win – in the  semi-final is where they actually lost their challenge.

“With about five minutes to play, I kept looking back at (assistant coach Mzwandile) Stick asking, can we still lose this game from here. And the reason I was asking was because I wanted to get Herschel Jantjies (replacement scrumhalf) on, but if I did that, we wouldn’t have a replacement on the bench and I said to him I want Hersch to play as well.

“Stick told me to relax, we’ve won and that I should send Jantjies on, and I did,” Erasmus said.

The now full-time SA Rugby director of rugby was a guest on The Crest Talks on Thursday – a leadership talk hosted by the Stellenbosch University alumni office.

He was speaking exclusively on how the Springboks, under his watch, went from a negligible sixth on the world rankings to champagne sipping champions.

The session was hosted virtually.

“At full-time, I actually felt embarrassed about it… also because I thought, how is it that I felt so entitled to winning it that I could even think it ‘will be taken away from us’ because I really thought it can’t happen again because we have been through so much,” Erasmus explained, going as far back as referencing the 1999 and 2003 editions.

“I’m so honoured to have coached them (2019 group). It was so easy to motivate them, and from the quarter-final (at the world cup), I could see they were playing for South Africa.”

With the Covid-19 pandemic causing all sorts of disruptions on a global scale, the director of rugby would have been pleased with the two good news items which emerged last week: the return to non-contact training for eight professional teams and the mooted October – December international window.
