Blacks frown when they dance. To outsiders, it might seem as though we are angry and full at the same time.

This post is either borderline satire or truth, I could not decide at the time of writing. All I know is that it is my sign of appreciation.
Doctors, mechanics, professors, the unemployed, politicians; whoever they are – if they are black and South African, Mgarimbe’s ‘Sister Bethina’ makes their world go steady-wild and crazy. Like LSD did to the youth of the 70s, but in this 4 plus minute song. Like how white people go crazy when Earth Wind & Fire’s ‘September’ plays – only rhythmically, ghostly and crazier.
It heightens our ratchet consciousness. It is our endorphin releaser. It cuts across professional Read more
7 Ridiculous Things I’ve Noticed about the Gautrain
This is just observational satire. It isn’t a piece about some measured criticism a transport export would give.
Gautrain is a top of the line transporter in Mzansi (South Africa), after planes. I am being patriotic here; hence I am not affording credit to Uber. Read more
The Brilliance of Julius Malema in 15 Points
Some saw the rise of young Nelson Mandela and the victory of old Nelson become the president of the first democratically elected government of South Africa in 1994 – at the age of 75.
Not all who saw the young Nelson rise witnessed his presidency of course; 75 is a lot of years to be around living.
It so happens our generation is witnessing the rise of another politician, Julius Malema. Read more
10 ways to market books and many other products
I wrote 10 points on how authors can market their books for my other company www.BulaBuka.co.za which converts books into ebooks and distributes to e-store like Amazon, iBookstore, Kobo and others.
But I really think they apply to marketing many other products.
It follows below

I have sold have sold over a 1000 copies of my 2013 self published book ‘Forget The Business Plan Use This Short Model’ since the start of its marketing in April 2013. This is 600 + ebooks via e-stores such as Amazon, iBookstore, Kobo and others. The other is hardcopies sold straight from me through either couriering or personal meetings.
eBook sales were mostly international. Anyway, for a self published South African, I am proud of these online sales given our ebook market in only now developing. A Kanye West like rant is deserved, so good I should spit Ultramel custard – khotha so hard. It says to me I can do much better this year, which I am hard working on.
I have helped publish a number of South African authors Read more

Read moreSouth Africans do actually save, and the needs for economic growth
Whenever the economy is not going so well, I often observe the blame being laid on consumers. To the contrary, I believe we South African consumers do save. I understand the reserve bank has to curb things or encourage them, by stepping in now and then.
To farce a bit, my cousin is still waiting for my response on an invitation to join their ‘wedding fund’ stokvel. You see, South Africans save. I speak for my black community, I don’t totally know of white folks. Definitely Indians save.
Below are some reasons I say South Africans save, some are a bit outlandish, but I will interject with reasons as to why. Read more

The bug in South Africa’s economy hindering job creation and prosperity for all
As South Africa’s GDP is the largest, but with more unemployment than some countries with a lesser GDP and with more people. Who then is enjoying a bigger chunk of the GDP? It is foreign investors and elite locals.
The question could be, how then to liberate our GDP so that it’s enjoyed by a deeper percentage of the population.
One could say through intensifying affirmative action especially in the business sector. But that would be missing the point why we aren’t creating jobs. Read more
South Africa today greatly challenged outside Apartheid
Thanks to our struggle heroes, today we can utter ‘us’ in reference to black, white, coloured, Indian and the other races that make South Africa.
Apartheid has done disfavour to the progress of South Africans, more especially to blacks. Undeniably, apartheid was about economics, favouring one race and brutalising others.
Post 1994, we have worked hard to achieve ‘us’ in reference to all races of South Africa. Social programmes and economic programmes were devised to rid the harm that apartheid and colonialism had endorsed.
Of importance in building South Africa is not only ‘bringing us together’ and affirmative empowerment, but mainly forward peering economic development models and innovations. Affirmative empowerment can’t thrive outside holistic economic growth. Black economic empowerment through government tenders should not, as it is, disrespect private South African economic growth.
