Unpacking the fight for Humanity, Freedom and Equality........
https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6460451920124342273
Nelson Sebati hosting an executive session on "Diversity & Inclusion". Helping leaders from the public and private sectors understand and unpack the fight for HUMANITY, the fight for FREEDOM and the fight for EQUALITY..... #transformation #diversityandinclusion #murason #bbbee #equality.
Sebati says, as a people we have had to fight to prove our HUMANITY i.e. we are not animals or a sub-species, but we are in fact human beings. Then we had to break the shackles of slavery, colonialism and apartheid for our FREEDOM. Now we are battling the resultant institutionalized racism, entrenched discrimination, exclusionary economic practices and formal and informal barriers to entry and or advancement for our EQUALITY!!!

Inclusion Is A Hell Of A Drug....
Modern day slavery, we need to slay this mentality that leads to our financial captivity!!
"We are all slaves! But I believe, We are free slaves. Yes, Free! We have the freedom to choose that which we want to be enslaved by. The question is, what are you a slave to? And where is that slavery leading you to? What is your destination, as you are carried out through your ark of slavery"? - Antonette Ncube, Agronomist.
"The problem is that, we are not aware that we are slaves of the hidden masters." - Sive Mange, MComm Student.

Poverty is not an abstraction or happenstance......
The system is engineered to transfer wealth upwards, a perpetual inequality machine!!!
The legacy of socio-economic injustice which was inherited from the Natives Land Act of 1913 continues to haunt the majority of black South Africans today.

Pick Mentors.....
Which 2 would you choose to mentor you for 1 year and why?
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MENTORING???
FOR MENTEES:
• Provides impartial advice and encouragement
• Develops a supportive relationship
• Assists with problem solving
• Improves self-confidence
• Offers professional development
• Encourages reflection on entrepreneurial path
FOR MENTORS:
• Opportunity to reflect on own entrepreneurial path
• Enhances job satisfaction
• Develops professional relationships
• Enhances peer recognition
• It uses your experience, making it available to a new person
• It widens your understanding of the organisation and the way it works
• It enables you to practice interpersonal skills
• It provides personal satisfaction through supporting the development of others
As clichéd as it may sound, it is extremely important for entrepreneurs to find a mentor/s who has absolutely no vested interest in their business and who can offer objective advice. entrepreneurs need to be vulnerable with their mentor/s and allow him or her to be brutally honest. In fact, entrepreneurs should actively solicit brutal honesty.

RACISM must fall.....
The duty to combat racism has to be owned by all South Africans. Racism is often subtle not overt. It can manifest in all manner of ways, including dismissive tones, policies, a sense of entitlement or displays of senseless resentment, says Nelson Sebati, Chief Empowerment Officer at Murason Business Services.
Sebati echoes the sentiments of African-American writer Shannon M. Houston, who reckons it’s time black people heed Toni Morrison’s pearls of wisdom on racism. “Racism keeps you explaining. The very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work.”
Houston wrote in Paste magazine that, during “moments of weakness”, black people keep explaining things to white people. She said it’s a “miracle we get anything else done, all the explaining they need”! She said if white people did not yet understand what privilege, racism, cultural appropriation and condescension is, it is simply because they are not interested in understanding and black people should stop wasting their energy giving explanations.

The Stressful Life Of B-BBEE Managers and Transformation Executives in Corporate South Africa........
Damned if they DO & damned if they DON'T: The life of B-BBEE/ Transformation Managers or Executives is a STRESSFUL one. The high levels of pressure in these corporate positions has led to many colleagues simply bowing to anti-transformation resistance to safe guard their careers, the bond, school fees and holiday homes........
That is why it is highly recommended to bring in an external expert who is impartial to assist with the difficult conversations and company politics. For expert assistance contact nsebati@murason.co.za
