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.

THE DISEMPOWERMENT OF EMPOWERDEX....

I once lost a client (that shall not be named) because I strongly disagreed with how Empowerdex Cape Town was endorsing a long-winded and convoluted ED consultancy that delivered no real benefits to small black business i.e. +/- R2 million worth of diverted grant funding through an eerily complex structure with back-to-back contracts unnecessarily abusing the Modified Flow Through Principle. They issued this white-owned ED scam with an ED Recognition Certificate and then came back to verify the same information at the client via their Johannesburg branch…..Needless-to-say, I appreciated the client’s business, but I didn’t need it so I was happy to let them go on principle. I think Gobodo should call me, I feel like "Agrizzi-ing", LOL.… Sanele Kweyama anda twala Georgina Hlalele Duncan de Groot Do you remember the incident? #transformation #bbbee #murason #Empowerdex See the link for more details: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/nelson-sebati-pr-ead-b-bbee-aaaa1516_transformation-bbbee-murason-activity-6524256610016063488-uUBD

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.
