The rest is still somewhat opaque. It's a start – now will someone please register on this course and let me know what it's

There was much fanfare with Rob telling the whole world that The Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) in partnership with UNISA and WITS have developed a standardised national Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Management Development Programme (MDP).

The title is courtesy of Hendrix at the Isle of Wight. And the time has come to update the blog – to those new subscribers sorry for the delay. The dti has been very busy recently. They’ve published two new documents. The draft Tourism Sector Code: First Charter to be gazzeted (sic) under Section 9
