HIGHEST FORM OF FLATTERY IS A REFERRAL

REAL TALK. In Business or Hustle, the sincerest thing a person can do for another being, is to put that individual in a position to make MONEY, further their CAREER or achieve their GOALS. So until you have actually done that, spare me the big boss talk and the leadership lies…..And on that note, HAPPY MONDAY! #bbbee #murason #nelsonsebati #transformation #equality #diversityandinclusion

Today with the President Of RSA......

Today on 20 August 2019, President Cyril Ramaphosa convenes the first Presidential Coordinating Council (PCC) meeting in the 6th Administration at the Union Buildings in Pretoria. Your truly was in attendance....

I READ WHAT I LIKE: White Fragility by Robin DiAngelo.

"White privilege" can be thought of as unstable racial equilibrium". When this equilibrium is challenged, the resulting racial stress can become intolerable and trigger a range of defensive responses. Robin DiAngelo defines these behaviors as "white fragility".

B-BBEE NEWS: IN TRUSTS, WE DO NOT TRUST....

The B-BBEE Commission, the authority that monitors compliance with South Africa’s empowerment legislation has declared that most transactions involving broad-based BEE trusts are not compliant with the law as the trusts are not genuine and effective Black Ownership. The Black Economic Empowerment Commission has written to dozens of companies informing them of the need to rectify their ownership structure and undergo reverification of their BEE status or face investigation for fronting…… BEE Trusts in most instances benefit the people that set them up and the people that work for them i.e. White People.

CARTE BLANCHE EXPOSES BEE-EASY'S B-BBEE FRONTING ON MNET

This is the problem with the “WHITE-WASHING” of B-BBEE. I will be honest, in my experience, 75% of where the Consultants are White there is FRONTING. When called in usually by a concerned Executive or Dissenting Director, I always have to unbundle these fronting schemes, inform the clients about the risks of fronting and educate them about how proper B-BBEE compliance can support their business growth and sustainability goals through a “Conscious Capitalism” approach. This sham claims to be supported by Nashua on its website.

HOW IT FEELS TO BE A BLACK SMME IN SOUTH AFRICA......

Imagine you are 7 years old again, you’re at an amusement park and you are soo excited that you finally get to ride the roller coaster all your friends have been raving about. You are in line. The anticipation is absolutely killing you! You wait and you wait, hours and hours pass, but adrenaline is pumping through you so fast you don't even notice. When you get to the front of the line after much time and patience, you are shown a sign that you hadn't seen all the way in the back of the line, it reads MUST BE THIS TALL TO RIDE ………OH NO!!!!!!!! You're exactly one inch too short! There's physically nothing you can do. You can't magically grow an inch in a second. You're distraught. You're angry. You feel like you just wasted your time and you're so sad that you don't know which way to turn except back to where you came from, home…….This is how trying to access large opportunities in the private sector and government supply chains feels like.
