ICT code levels – QSE and specialised measured out of what?

There was a conversation between me and a person who I had met yet about their BEE scorecard.  They were told by their completely unreasonable clients that they have to be a level 1 or 2.  We're talking about a QSE – the company actually wanted to implement the BEE scorecard to get their.  After […]

bobby the brave, the bolshevik remains

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

Where does our favourite empowerment system fit in with Cyril’s economy rebuilding programme?

Disclaimer: please excuse the uppercase usage for zuma, gigaba (abagig to this blog), davies (should be bolshie bob) and dud miyeni (in the land of sheer incompetence this one truly stands out, we are talking mkhwebane incompetent). It’s been almost a week since Cyril’s SONA and our initial euphoria has been tempered by Gigaba’s reality biting

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

Cyril – please not rob davies for another five years

Our good friend and dyed in the wool minister of trade and industry declined to sit on the anc's NEC in December.  My thinking was that bolshie had done enough destruction for one lifetime, something which the country will pay for dearly long after bob is communing with Marx, Trotsky and Lenin in the hereafter,

Dear Cyril now that you are chief of that rogue organisation

Dear Cyril Ramaphosa (notice the uppercase – there are very few aNc [one third uppercase] politicians that I refer to in the uppercase) We've not met before although I have met a few of the people at your foundation and I am really impressed with the work that it does.  My name is Paul Janisch and

Maslow was right – the anc are clueless

Abraham Maslow's theory has been accepted, criticised and lambasted.  The anc government hasn't bothered with any of that, they've just plain ignored it.  I believe there are some people within that cabinet with a modicum of competence,  but such competence is negated by the overwhelming stupidity of the legislators. Maslow's assumption is that human beings

They call them QSFIs in FSC speak and use the old codes, awdozn’t that sound nice

It's a strange business this BEE business, we all keep our little schlenters to ourselves and leave the rest of the world in the dark.  I can assure you dear reader that there are a number of schlenters that I have devised and still use – in spite of SANAS' best intentions to close them
