There doesn't seem to be much press on the new PPPFA regulations, which I find quite strange because it's these regulations that Malema's cronies need to figure out so that they can carry on stealing from the taxpayer (oops did I just write that). There was an article in the Engineering News last week where […]

This report makes for very interesting reading, and I can't create one big post on it so I'll do it in pieces. This quote is for those of use who are keen on public private partnerships (PPPs), it comes from page 22 of the report. It was noted from the response of the Minister of

Nedbank asked me to give them a short overview of the new PPPFA regulations. I gladly did – you can take a look at the presentation here. What was interesting was a certain question about joint ventures and the PPPFA and BEE certificates. The only clue we have to what is required is found in

When people send me emails in response to the blog I can only assume that they don't want their names on this stunning piece of virtual real-estate. This is a response to last night's post – None more black – not so say the KZN DPW You may be reading that rubbish too narrowly. If

Rumours have abounded for many years that the government has an unofficial view on the definition of black and that there are in fact degrees of blackness. Perhaps Julius "I wouldn't know a hammer if it hit me" Malema was actually echoing this same policy when he bleated "We [black people] cannot just be reduced
