This is an interesting story about BEE in South Africa. BEE is a move which was introduced by the government   to bring the business to a balance, whereby both blacks and whites benefit from the Government tenders.   The blacks believed that it was benefiting the whites since apartheid era.   Blacks are registering their own companies bid for the tenders and are given the business to do the projects. A classic one happened in one of the government departments.    The department in one of the provinces in S Africa.   The director of education and his son were working together to award tenders to the local people. Their strategy was to award small money tenders to the people and the   big ones they have to make plans and award to themselves. This would seem to all people   in local city to fell that all is being done fairly. In so doing they have to create a company which will be in someone’s name   and use that person to do all the business as if it’s his but yet the original owners a

German scientists dug 50 meters down in the underground and discovered small pieces of copper. After studying these pieces for a long time, Germany announced that the ancient Germans 25,000 years ago had a nation-wide telephone network. The Russian government was not that easily impressed. They ordered their own scientists to dig even deeper. 100 meters down they found small pieces o ... f glass. They soon announced that 35,000 years ago, the ancient Russians already had a nationwide fibre net. American scientists were outraged. They dug 200 meters down in the underground, but found absolutely nothing. They happily concluded that the ancient Americans 55,000 years ago had cellular telephones.

English.news.cn   2011-12-25 07:48:34 HARARE, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) -- Zimbabwe is poised to become the world's third largest diamond producer by the end of this decade as production continues to soar, state media New Ziana reported on Saturday. The country which is currently the seventh largest producer in the world has potential to supply 25 percent of global demand. Currently the country has got four diamond mining firms operating in the Chiadzwa fields namely Marange Resources, Mbada Diamonds, Anjin and Diamond Mining Corporation. The Kimberly Process Certification System recently rated Anjin was recently certified as the biggest diamond mining firm in the world. Western countries led by the United States have been battling to block Zimbabwe from selling its diamonds in order to sustain effects of illegal economic sanctions that they imposed on the country in retribution for expropriating land from former white commercial farmers. The country stands to earn mor

DEMOCRATIC Republic of Congo opposition leader, Etienne Tshisekedi -- besieged in his Kinshasa home by heavily armed security forces -- swore a makeshift presidential oath on Friday as police battled in the streets outside with his rock-throwing supporters. President Joseph Kabila was officially inaugurated on December 20 to a new term as head of the vast central African state, after winning a disputed November 28 election that Tshisekedi derided as fraudulent. Kabila's inauguration earlier this week was held at a heavily guarded compound near the banks of the Congo River, and was attended by only one foreign head of state, Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe. Mugabe warned that the region would resist any attempts to undermine Kabila's regime. "We are one with them (Congolese) as they cele­brate the victory and his party and having won, and won thunderously against Tshisekedi. He has won a democratic election,” the Zimbabwean leader said. "This must send a cl

DEPUTY Prime Minister Thokozani Khupe has revealed she now has one breast after undergoing chemotherapy treatment for breast cancer in South Africa last week. Speaking during a donation of medical equipment worth US$3,5 million by Department for International Development (DFID) UK in Bulawayo Wednesday, Khupe said the operation had been successful. “I now have one breast and I am not even shy and worried about it, I went through a very successful cancer chemotherapy operation in South Africa and you people when you see me you think I have two normal breasts but that’s not it,” Khupe said in an interview with Radio VOP. “I thank you all for your prayers, I am still very strong and God will always guide me.” Khupe. She said Zimbabweans diagnosed with cancer should not give up as the diseases can be treated. In June this year, the 48-year-old mum-of-three declared made public her battle with the disease which kills half a million women worldwide every year and accounts for 14 percent

I would like to complement Coach Pitso Musimane for the job well done yesterday. The team that he selected for Ivory Coast game was even encouraging the people to watch it playing. Unlike the Afcon qualifier team which was full of the local derby players which we are tired of watching. The team had depth and you could see even their opponents who were stars from all the filthy rich clubs in Europe found it difficult to defeat us. The guys were equal to the standard in all the areas defence, midfield and striking force. The second half we took the game to their side and it paid dividends we got the gaol which we needed. We were standing a good chance to win that game. Next time we playing other countries with less quality players like the Ivory Coast, chances are win situation. It’s so unfortunate that coach, you only woke up after the damage was done. However we are with you if the work on the pitch is showing progress. When the performance is not satisfactory we are made at you. All

Gaddafi: 'He died an angry and disappointed man' By Katya Adler BBC News, Misrata Advertisement Katya Adler meets members of Gaddafi's inner circle Continue reading the main story Libya Crisis Counting the cost Bloody birth How Gaddafi died Libya explained Bombed-out devastation is pretty much all you see when you drive in to Misrata. A few men sit on shabby orange sofas in front of the rubble that lines the main road. The only real sign of life here is the newly-dubbed Misrata Museum where weapons seized from Gaddafi loyalists and other spoils of war are displayed and gloated over. But one of Misrata's prized trophies is very much hidden from public view. Mansour Dhao Ibrahim is one of Libya's most wanted - a man believed to have ordered the killing, rape and torture of the opponents of Col Muammar Gaddafi

  Debatable issues What makes a person is not only what you do  to the people out there, but  it also includes what you do at home. That is why they say charity begins at home?  It really pays to be educated in some cases because you will be thinking an extra mile than the lesser privileged  ones. Their reasoning might not be beyond yours. Their minds might be a bit shallower. Have your say. Commends at the bottom. Joseph Vhudzijena

October 28 2011 at 12:56am Harare - Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has flown secretly to Singapore for medical treatment for the eighth time this year, government sources said, heightening concern over the health of the 87-year-old leader. As he approaches his 32nd year in power, observers say political factions within his Zanu-PF party are jockeying increasingly openly to succeed him as party leader, amid increasing expectations of political instability in the southern African country. The sources, who asked not to be named, said Mugabe and his wife, Grace, flew from Harare on Monday to Johannesburg where they caught a Singapore Airlines flight to Singapore. They said he was expected to return on Sunday. His spokesmen have declined to comment. Western diplomatic sources who have recently seen Mugabe say he appears increasingly fail. While the official version is that Mugabe has been to Singapore for a cataract operation and subsequent check-up

Some times when couples are divorcing it’s so difficult to think that these two were married and living happily as a family. It is also quite not easy to divorce l think, but circumstances, purpose and expectations in a marriage will led to these situations. Likewise all man and woman would not expect to be in a relationship where by one   is cheating. This poses a risk of the killer diseases which have taken many people’s lives. If a situation is like that then all the trust will be lost hence leading to a break up in family. Divorces are just not good things to experience or witness. It’s a break up that affects people’s lives. The children and parents. Recently a classic situation happened in Mpumalanga’ city of Nelspruit. A couple has been married for 6 years and living happily with their 2 children. They was trust in the family until an incident occurred that has exposed the husband’s cheating to the wife. The wife stays at home while the hus

Coach Pitso Musimane you have cost us the glory of going to African Cup of Nations. First you give the players an impression to relax and settle for a draw game banking on another country’s game. Why don’t you prepare your charges for their own victory regardless of the other games outcome? Score your own goals and seal your qualification automatically. Secondly your team selection.   The team was full of derby players not players who have the character to   handle   the  game of this magnitude. This was a must win game, final qualifier, you needed depth even the likes of Benny McCarthy, Siyabonga Nomvete etc  could have  been involved in this kind of a games because of experience and understanding of the importance of the level. You filded these derby players like Andile Jali, Oupa Manyisa and not involve   the likes of Thulane Serero who are rubbing shoulders with the likes of Christiana Ronaldo. Look at Orlando Pirates its loosing weekend in wee

Recently the issue of women who are dumping their infants is increasing. This week alone l have seen one story in the newspaper of a beautiful child, four months old was left on the rocks by the mother.Following up the story, the mother said she had nothing to feed the babe for the past three days so she felt it the only option to dump him. The following day a woman left her child in Pretoria Central at Sammy Marks Square. The child approximately one year was left with coca cola in her hands, a bag of  clothes on the side and just sitting alone. It may have been happening that the mother was looking from a distance to see who is gonna take the child. The issue again being support. As adults and knowing that the cost of living is getting high, we need to address this issue seriously. The government has to introduce the lessons at school level to teach people about the hardships of  life. Birth control ways and teach children about abstaining from sex when still unmarri
