25 March 2010, Cape Business News - The acute shortage of skills in the hi-tech sector is easing off, but more extensive training programmes must be introduced to keep the technology sector pumping.

The skills crunch has eased as the global recession saw many foreign opportunities dry up, and that slowed down South Africa’s brain drain, says Tellumat CEO Rasheed Hargey.  Many local companies also scaled back or went bust during the recession, meaning there were fewer vacancies to fill and more workers on the market.
