Abstract
I thank the editor for inviting me to comment on this fascinating paper. The authors must be commended for their detailed and engaging article on the well-known crisis in academic Statistics. What differentiates their discussion are its aspects regarding the challenges many early-career academics face and the consequences for research and postgraduate supervision capacity in South Africa. Next, I will summarise and elaborate on what I believe are the most pertinent aspects.
