Fire Rob Davies and do it now - bounce him with buttterbeelie and abagig
And it's not only me who wants bolshie bob to bugger off to Бирск and never return to South African politics. Take a look at this discussion. It's a good discussion but if you only want to see what the... Continue reading

The Commissioner speaks - transformation slow. Wow how observant
Is it correct to refer to the BEE Commissioner by her first name backwards? Probably not, even though it has a lovely ring. Our great transformation fronting crusader held a press conference last week. Please reader, take this post from... Continue reading

A bit more on the Yes4Youth programme

Youth Employment Service defined and sorted
My wife has correctly pointed out that my cynicism is not in anyone's best interests. I'll see if I can temper it. As you might or might not know - our man in Meintjies Street published the YES code recently.... Continue reading

Transformayshin (1) and racism - almost inseparable
Transformayshin (trænz fɔr maj ʃi jɪn) (n). An act that purports to change the state of a situation but gets bogged down in political ideology and results in no change whatsoever (in spite of the private sector's best intentions). What... Continue reading

This could be the most significant article written this year - trunceformaysheeyin be damned
The Daily Maverick is becoming the most valuable source of fine journalism in this country. There is nothing that comes close to it. By the way they are looking for financial support, if you are so inclined you can read... Continue reading

SANAS update, we are up to 78 BEE Verification Agencies
It seems that there has been a flurry or SANAS accreditation activity. My last post showed there were 72 agencies at the beginning of the year. We lost BEE Matrix due to a ridiculous witch hunt but we seem to... Continue reading

The Badly Packed Parachute(s) first gig
It's not clear whether we are Parachute or Parachutes. Either way it's quite a rude term and I'm not telling you why. After four years of slog we've actually managed to get it together to have a gig. The band... Continue reading

A completely unsubstantiated BBC rumour

A little Moneyweb exposure. Davies is killing what ever good BEE had the potential to deliver
They pretty much published it verbatim - Ray Mahlaka edited it down to something a lot easier to read, you know what I'm like when I get started on bolshie bob. South Africa was a battered and bruised country when... Continue reading

TooScared to have a JollyTime - and mandated investments

Pierre de Vos on moyane. Mpofull up with this

NEEEF debate continues and SA-based multinationals bleat about ownership (as they should)
Taken up by Namibian Prime Minister Saara Kuugongelwa-Amadhila. To quote the Namibian Kuugongelwa-Amadhila said Neeef has six pillars, which are of equal importance. Neeef is more than the 25% equity ownership. (There are) six pillars, and all those pillars are... Continue reading
