YES, the YES is a priority, but not at the price bolshie bob has set

It seems to have started with this article, although I would like to believe that my play in one act really clinched the deal.  Bruce Whitfield wrote The Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) has added an unexpected new financial requirement to companies that participate in the Youth Employment Service (YES). It threatens to undermine

Rob Davies – Act 1 Scene 1 – the demise of white monopoly capital. A play in one scene

[Enter Post Title Here] The scene – a room in a prime office in Meintjies Street Pretoria.  A nondescript bearded man in a Mandela shirt is reading the news online whilst he fondles his made-to-scale replica of Marx’s gravestone. Man (muttering) – who the hell is Alan Hirsch anyway?  What does he mean the president

What to do?  My last post which was published on Biznews this morning.  In this article I reverted back to type and poured out my usual anti-davies vitriol, all of which hoped that Rob Davies (uppercase because of search engines) would have declined the post of minster of trade and industry. This was based on

Exactly what percentage ownership do you need so as not to be fired

Whilst we wait for Cyril to do something about this abomination known as the BEE codes  I might as well provide my loyal readership with a short tutorial on ownership. Before I start I need to stress that ownership is not the answer to South Africa's problems.  Well in excess of 95% of all the

Assuming it’s permissable for people to examine a listed entity’s EEA2 and EEA4

If anyone is able to send me the EEA4 (most recent if possible) for any large listed company operating in the financial sector.  A large bank or insurance company would be acceptable.  I need this for a blog post on the FSC that apparently is about to be gazetted.  What better time to put out
