Who’d have thought that we could depend on SERR Synergy. SANAS handed a legal snotklap

SERR seems to have established itself as a disruptive force in the BEE market place.  I have a lot of respect for them.  I'm probably most impressed with their sales people.  SERR is a big business and a real player in the industry.  One day someone at SERR decided that they didn't like Yuneal's directive […]

SANAS – oh SANAS, where is thoust legitimacy?

Unfortunately my tirade against SANAS brutality has not ended. I'm amused by this but not by the unchecked power that SANAS wields over the economy through their verification agencies.

bolshie bob’s bye bye surprise – good riddance to that destructive commie

Oh to leave a legacy.  This wasn't a priority for zuma and it's certainly not a priority for bolshie bob who demonstrated a callous disregard for the well being of the economy.  Before he vacated his office he left us with four more gazettes.  This is no longer his problem, it's now Ebie's issue.  As

Ebrahim and BEE (via The new growth path: the framework)

Capping pay and bonuses for senior managers and executives earning more than R550 000 a year, restraining wage settlements for workers earning between R3 000 and R20 000 a month, a major rethink of black economic empowerment (BEE) and a “red-tape elimination campaign”.
