Tshwane: South Africa’s best kept tourism secret

Jacaranda City is blossoming


Touching down in Tshwane - pg 14

It begins with youI remember visiting the beach in Durban as a child and seeing a sign stating: Take only pictures; leave only footprints. And you found many happily snapping away with their analogue and polaroid cameras. There was also a rather odd-looking cartoon bird called Zebbie, whose face was plastered around the beach, asking you to pick up your litter. And it worked well.

Today, it is much easier to take photographs while you are on vacation thanks to smartphone technology. In fact, we are often so preoccupied with taking selfies and posting to our favourite social network that we neglect to take in the sights and sounds of the places we visit. More importantly, we often don’t pay attention to the environmental threats that many popular tourist haunts are under.

Furthermore, we tend to leave the important task of saving the planet to our governments and environmental organisations; many of which simply create a platform to talk shop with little or no action.

The reality is you can make a difference by being a responsible tourist. Find out how on page 38 and do your bit to save the environment. It begins with you and no matter how small your part is in saving the planet, your contribution can go a long way.

Enjoy your flight

Airlink has entered into a joint commercial venture with South African Airways (SAA), the leading carrier on the African continent, and its feeder partner airline, to offer the first ever scheduled air services at Tshwane City’s Wonderboom Airport.

Effective 16 August 2015, the service will operate between Wonderboom and Cape Town, a key domestic route for the carriers. Wonderboom Airport has recently been upgraded and offers sophisticated facilities for an airline operator.

Airlink will operate up to three flights per day between the two cities using the SAA franchise intellectual property, including the SAA flight code (SA). Airlink and SAA have enjoyed a close working relationship for more than 20 years and Airlink has been operating as a franchisee of SAA since 1997.

“We are immensely excited about expanding our relationship with SAA, and about the opportunity to link our most important South African cities by air. This is a first for the country and we are pleased that our customers can benefit from this,” stated Rodger Foster, Airlink CEO.

“Connecting the two historically significant South African cities – Pretoria, the capital city, with Cape Town, the mother city – is an exciting development on our domestic route network, which we believe will be popular with both leisure and business travellers,” added Nico Bezuidenhout, SAA Acting CEO. “It is yet another way of enhancing our value proposition to our customers by providing more options which translate into convenient travel times from the airports of their choice.”

The heart of the business hubThe metropolitan area of Tshwane houses approximately three million residents, and several thousand businesses located in multiple business commercial and industrial nodes.

“All businesses, industries and communities located in and around Tshwane will benefit from the new services. In particular, manufacturing sectors such as in the case of the automotive industry located within the catchments and various diplomatic missions and NGOs located in the area, where there is a strong nexus with their counterparts in Cape Town, will stand to benefit from air services at Wonderboom,” added Foster.

Flights will depart from Wonderboom for Cape Town at 06:45 with a second flight, commencing on 1 September at 10:30, then in the afternoon departing Wonderboom at 17:45. Flights from Cape Town to Wonderboom depart at 06:45 with afternoon flights at 15:00 (effective 1 September) and 17:30.

For business class travellers, Airlink will offer an intra-continental (as in intra Europe) style business class service on its 83-seater Avro RJ85 quad jet aircraft, which will be used to operate the route. Travellers on the new service will be able to earn Voyager Frequent Flyer loyalty miles and double Voyager miles from 16 August to 31 October 2015.

Tourists stop to take photographs of the giant bronze statue of Paul Kruger, boer leader and president of the South African Republic in the 19th century.

Few spare a glance at the elegant red and stone Palace of Justice, one of the beautiful old buildings that line the square. Yet this building has a significant place in the history of South Africa: it was from the dock inside the court that Nelson Mandela made one of the most telling speeches of the 20th century.

Words etched in historyMandela, along with his fellow Rivonia trialists, was sentenced to life imprisonment at the end of a lengthy court hearing in 1964. And it was in this court building that Mandela made one of his most significant speeches.

Addressing not only the court, but the whole world, Mandela said: “During my lifetime I have dedicated myself to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination.

“I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.”

Pausing to walk into the courtroom and the cells under the building offer visitors a glimpse into the past – with the added knowledge that 30 years later, just a few kilometres away at the Union Buildings, Mandela would be inaugurated as the first president of a democratic South Africa.

This small square is just one of the many places steeped in the history of the city. But Tshwane, like the country itself, has not remained in the past. It is now the pulsing heart of the modern nation.

All that glittersSouth Africa’s largest metropolitan municipality is an energetic home to 2.5 million people. Yet, despite its size, the pace is genteel – although a sizeable population of students keeps it edgy. Pretoria University, the University

in the heart of Tshwane’s central business district, is the bustling church square. Ice-cream sellers offer cold treats, students sit on

Heritage sites, museums and art galleries abound, including the Union Buildings and their spectacular gardens, the Diamond Hill Battlefield, the Voortrekker Monument, and Freedom Park, which tells the story of Africa.

Fancy a diamond? Cullinan is a quaint old town redolent of the heady days of the diamond rush. Go down the mine shaft, then visit the hoist room, big hole and display room.

A visit to Africa would not be complete without time in a game reserve. Tshwane is the only city in the world where the Big Five roam free in its city limits. Besides the Dinokeng Big 5 Game Reserve, it also has the Groenkloof Nature Reserve, the first game sanctuary in Africa, and the Rietvlei Nature Reserve, one of the world’s largest urban reserves.

But the city doesn’t only cater for vacationers. Business visitors have access to superb conference and hospitality facilities, among them the Absa Conference Centre, CSIR International Convention Centre, Centurion Conference Centre and Irene Country Lodge.

And when business is done for the day, it’s time for sport. Major local, national and international sporting events are hosted here – it has seen the FIFA World Cup, Rugby World Cup, Cricket World Cup, All Africa Games and the Tshwane Open golf tournament.

There are plenty of world-class greens and fairways if golf is your choice, as well as excellent facilities for boating, climbing, fishing, horse riding, hot air ballooning, motor racing, paragliding, quad-biking, skydiving and water sports.

Take noteAnd as one would expect of a city that is home to a large diplomatic corps, there are restaurants and bars aplenty, from family-friendly spaces to trendy nightclubs. All manner of cuisine is on offer, and there is ample opportunity for shopping in high-end malls or weekend markets.

Visitors can also enjoy a traditional African meal at a shebeen while experiencing another of Tshwane’s riches – jazz. Atteridgeville, with more than 50 clubs and numerous bands, is known as the jazz capital of South Africa, while Mamelodi (its name means ‘mother of melodies’) was the birthplace of molombo jazz: a combination of mbaqanga with traditional drumming, gospel music and African jazz guitar.

And if you’re in need of some rejuvenation after your exertions, the city is home to numerous spas and wellness centres, ranging from five-star hotel spas and exclusive urban clinics to country retreats and African-style escapes.

Chit chat clinches the dealThe secret to sealing the deal could be small talk – at least for men, researchers say. They found that those who engaged in chat before negotiations did best. However, they found that men also used the tactic far more effectively than women.Working with a team of researchers from Ludwig Maximilian University and the Technical University in Munich, Germany, American University’s Kogod School of Business professor of management Alexandra Mislin researched how small talk before a negotiation impacted perceptions and outcomes.

The study reveals that small talk can be another tool in the arsenal for men – but not for women. “We saw a boost in positive negotiation outcomes for men when they engaged in small talk before the negotiation,” Mislin said.

The researchers discovered that the benefits to men who make small talk are more pronounced in negotiation situations that are characterised by more ambiguity and where small talk is not necessarily expected. In situations where expectations are clearly defined, including an expectation of small

talk (such as an employment contract interview), both men and women who make small talk are perceived more favourably. But this positive perception only translates into better deals for men who make small talk.

“Our findings reinforce the notion that men and women in the same situation, engaging in the same behaviour, can experience different reactions because of different behavioural expectations associated with their gender,” Mislin concluded.

Scientists 'grow' bones and organs in labBritish scientists have made a major breakthrough in the quest to replace knees and hips with lab-grown replacements. The aim is that scientists will eventually be able to replace complex structures – like those found in hips and knee joints damaged by arthritis, in car crashes or on battlefields.While a lab-grown human windpipe measuring around 7cm was successfully transplanted in 2011, bigger structures have so far proved a problem. Now researchers at Bristol and Liverpool universities have found a method that overcomes a major hurdle. The problem with creating larger cartilage structures is supplying oxygen to the engineered cells.

In the body, the bloodstream supplies oxygen, but in the lab the cells rely on getting oxygen from the solution they are being grown in. Larger structures fail to get the oxygen they need, and the cartilage cells die off. The researchers created stem cells with a built-in ‘oxygen reservoir’ – a protein called myoglobin – which is turned into cartilage. The development will also help in attempts to grow bones and heart muscle.

Beef or lizard?Air India has insisted that there is “absolutely no truth” in reports that a lizard was found in an in-flight meal on a Delhi-London flight in late June.Its denial followed the publication of a picture on social media which purportedly shows the reptile’s head underneath a bun on a meal tray. It is not clear from the photo if the creature is dead or alive. The state-owned airline has dismissed the report as a “false and baseless hoax” launched to tarnish its image.

The alleged incident took place when the flight attendants were serving lunch, the Times of India reported. “Soon after it was placed onto the tray, the passenger was heard screaming,” it quoted a source as saying.

The source said that the lunch was wrapped in clingfilm and the lizard scurried from underneath a burger.

But Air India was swift to deny the allegation. “No such complaint by any passenger of the flight has been received on board the flight or at the Air India office in London,” it said in a tweet.

Grumpy Cat can perk you upIf you get that warm, fuzzy feeling after watching cat videos online, the effect may be more important than you think. The internet phenomenon of watching cat videos, such as those of Grumpy Cat, does more than simply entertain; it boosts viewers’ energy and positive emotions and decreases negative feelings, according to a new study by an Indiana University Media School researcher.

The study, by assistant professor Jessica Gall Myrick, surveyed almost 7,000 people about their viewing of cat videos and how it affects their moods. “Some people may think watching online cat videos isn’t a serious enough topic for academic research, but the fact is that it’s one of the most popular uses of the internet today,” Dr Myrick said.

“If we want to better understand the effects the internet may have on us as individuals and on society, then researchers can’t ignore internet cats anymore. We have all watched a cat video online, but there is really little empirical work done on why so many of us do this, or what effects it might have

on us. I felt compelled to gather some data about this pop culture phenomenon.”

Zimbabwe dollars get the cutZimbabwe is phasing out its local currency and formalising a multi-currency system introduced during hyper-inflation. Foreign currencies like the US dollar and South African rand have been used for most transactions since 2009. Local dollars are not used, except high-denomination notes sold as souvenirs.According to BBC.com, Zimbabweans can exchange bank accounts of up to 175 quadrillion (175,000,000,000,000,000) Zimbabwean dollars for five US dollars. Higher balances will be exchanged at a rate of Z$35 quadrillion to US$1.

Hyper-inflation saw prices in shops change several times a day, severe shortages of basic goods and Zimbabweans taking their money to market in wheelbarrows. Ahead of the abandonment of the Zimbabwean dollar in January 2009, officials gave up on reporting official inflation statistics. Towards the end

of 2008, annual inflation had reached 231 million percent. The highest denomination was a 100 trillion Zimbabwean dollar note.

Ronaldo on another universe?Lionel Messi may arguably be the best footballer on the planet, but Cristiano Ronaldo has probably gone one better.Believe it or not, the Real Madrid superstar now has a whole galaxy named after him, which existed when the universe was only 800 million years old.

The recently discovered galaxy, now called CR7, was also three times more luminous than any found for the same time period. The University of Lisbon had a hand in the naming of the galaxy. Go figure, considering that Ronaldo is Portuguese.

The University of Buenos Aires should consider doing something for their Argentinian football wonder Messi.

Palaeontologist wants to create dinosaurs from chickensJurassic World might be a monster hit with cinema-goers, but it would appear the franchise’s consultant palaeontologist hasn’t learnt from the films.Dr Jack Horner is developing dinosaur traits for chickens, such as long tails, to effectively engineer little dinosaurs within the next decade. He said that it’s impossible to bring dinosaurs back using their DNA so he’s creating the ‘chickensaurus’ instead.

Dr Horner explained: “I have tried many times to extract DNA from dinosaurs and we will always fail – it’s probably a good thing because the DNA molecule is huge and it’s just not very stable.”

Instead, he is focusing on reverse engineering birds into dinosaurs. He describes birds as ‘living dinosaurs’ because they carry dinosaur DNA and are the extinct creatures’ closest living relatives. “To make a bird into a dinosaur, what we’re doing is looking for ancestral genes that the birds might be carrying that are just turned off,” he explained.

Dressed to impressAirlink, the largest privately owned regional airline, has introduced a new-look wardrobe for its employees. After nine years of wearing the easily recognisable old uniform, it was time for a change. As such, it was decided to refresh certain attire and fashion accessories to project a more classic Airlink look.Airlink places a strong emphasis on staff

professionalism, proficiency and friendliness. In order to reflect these attributes, it must be conscious of its appearance and decorum which is evident by the new-look staff attire.

Designed by Maby Corporate Clothing, the new style uniforms introduce the highly distinguishable sunbird icon on the scarf and tie, both of which are specifically designed to enhance Airlink’s status as one of southern Africa’s leading airlines.

Airlink Marketing and Sales Manager, Karin Murray, explained that the new look

fits perfectly with the airline’s motto of having the freedom of the African sky. “Our corporate identity clearly represents the concept of flight with the introduction of the sunbird with the light and dark blue colour tones, which enhances the look of our uniform.”

Both male and female frontline and cabin attendants are stepping out in style wearing the new uniform. For the ladies, there is a choice of long- and short-sleeve blouses or long- and short-sleeve dresses. Both options are complemented by

leather belts with branded buckles with a classic-look branded leather handbag completing the look.

Airlink’s male employees are now kitted out with long- or short-sleeve shirts and ties that are complemented by black shoes and leather belts with branded buckles. In addition, the most distinctive feature of the new look is the silver insignia which ensures that Airlink staff stand out from the crowd at all times.

Travelling the world as a stormtrooperA Star Wars super-fan recently waved goodbye to his job in advertising to explore the world as a surfing stormtrooper.In 2011, when space buff Andre Price packed a surfboard and a stormtrooper helmet, he just hoped for some non-typical, extraordinary holiday snaps. But when his blog, which documented his initial 12-month trip, gathered 30,000 followers, he decided to plan a surfing stormtrooper book for charity.

Price, from Hamburg, Germany, said: “The first time I heard of Star Wars was in the ‘70s when I was five. I went totally bananas and Star Wars has been part of my life since.” Price revealed he has always wanted to ‘live the dream’ and do an endless summer following waves around the globe.

Shortly after making this his goal, he packed up his things, grabbed the trooper helmet and spontaneously took it on the road with him. He added: “I thought it would be boring just to have those average snapshots like everyone else. It was a rather uncomfortable experience. Surfing (in a stormtrooper helmet) was painful at times, but the show had to go on.”

Currently back in Germany, Price has already made plans to see the seventh movie, which is coming out in December. He said: “I can’t wait to see the movie. I’m going with my friends and then I’ll head to Sri Lanka right after that for a four-week trip. Then we plan to buy a camper and drive through Europe down to Africa.”

Family ties enhance language skillsInfants who are looked after by a parent or other relative during their formative years have been found to develop speech faster and more effectively than those in crèches. This is according to research undertaken at Maynooth University, Ireland.

However, working mothers who use childcare facilities needn’t feel guilty because toddlers in ‘centre-based care’ have better motor skills such as hand-eye co-ordination.

The study suggests there is no single childcare type that is necessarily better or worse than any other and that a mixture is ideal. The research showed language skills is the only area in which children who are cared for by their own extended family outperformed others by the age of three.

They used data collected from the national longitudinal study of children, Growing Up in Ireland, which gave them a nationally representative sample size of more than 11,000 infants and 8,500 children. This allowed them to study the influence of early childcare choices on child development between nine months and three years.

The study said: “Babies in centre-based care show greater abilities in fine motor skills (for example turning of pages and holding pencils) than babies who have not attended centre-based care. However, babies cared for by relatives at nine months are demonstrably stronger in vocabulary or naming skills.”

The sun shines on the Tengboche Monastery in the Everest region of Nepal. This Tibetan Buddhist temple was built in 1916 by Lama Gulu with strong links to its mother monastery known as the Rongbuk Monastery in Tibet. In 1934, it was destroyed by an earthquake and was subsequently rebuilt. In 1989, it was destroyed for a second time by a fire and then rebuilt with the help of volunteers and international assistance. It has a panoramic view of the Himalayan Mountains, including the well-known peaks of Tawache, Everest, Nuptse, Lhotse, Ama Dablam and Thamserku.

Space travel makes you old

S hould we ever want to colonise Mars, it would be interesting to know how our bodies would handle the

long-term weightlessness. Scientists from the French University of Lorraine simulated weightlessness with mice in order to find out more about it. They did this by lifting the little guys by their hind legs (shame!) so that they did not have any more weight on them. This ‘treatment’ ensured a change in B-lymphocytes in their bone marrow, which plays an important role in the immune system. It looked like the bone marrow of old mice under normal circumstances. The researchers concluded that weightlessness in mice creates an early aging of the immune system. Whether the same goes for humans is unclear and still needs to be tested.

Weightlessness is fun, but it’s not good for your immune system. W hen a woman is nice, a man will

think that she has sexual interest in him. And when a man tries to talk a woman into his bedroom, she thinks he is just being nice. Sounds like a cliché? Yes. Still, researchers from Norwegian University of Science and Technology decided to find out for certain by testing 308 volunteers. From this it became apparent that women on an average of 3.5 times per year encounter a man who mistakes their friendliness for sexual interest. On the other hand, male intentions are also often interpreted wrongly. The fact that this is the case in Norway, a country not known for outwardly sexual behaviour, suggests that we are dealing here with a born difference. The researchers give the usual evolutionary explanation: for men it is important to have as many sexual partners as possible and women have to be choosey because they have to invest a lot of energy and time in their offspring.

Because of the allure of that particular route most visitors choose to fly into Port Elizabeth, but on this investigative trip I chose East London to start my whirlwind tour of the Eastern Cape with Airlink. This is a bustling city that should be considered as a holiday destination by travellers from far and wide.

The water on the Indian Ocean side of South Africa is warm and welcoming and this province should therefore be attracting tourists in similar numbers to Durban and

The Eastern Cape often does not feature on either the local or international tourist radar. This surprises me as this underutilised province has much to offer. Most visitors to the area choose the well-known Garden Route that stretches from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town. As a result, most of the towns along the way become overpopulated in season and I decided to look inland for my trip.

The allure of the Eastern Cape

The pathless travelled

environs. But it turned out not to be that way. It was a pleasure to be able to walk for more than two hours without tripping over sun worshippers in deck chairs.

Dolphins and whales are found along this stretch of coastline, but unfortunately I did not get to see either. However, I did find a large sea lion playing in the waves close to shore.

While I enjoyed walking, relaxing and eating, the more adventurous guests were off horse riding, hiking and fishing.

The Friendly CityThe next destination was the town where I was born, Port Elizabeth (Nelson Mandela Bay).

Founded in 1820 by British settlers, a lot of their influence can still be seen in and around the city. What Port Elizabeth offers is some of the best, most underutilised beaches in the country. Unlike the sea in the Western Cape, the water here is warm and scuba diving or snorkelling is one of the pastimes that can be enjoyed. Bottlenose dolphins call this stretch of coastline home and can often be seen from the beach or even the window of your beachfront hotel.

Although often referred to as the Windy City, it is to my mind the Friendly City and the locals are happy to chat and tell you about what is on offer for tourists.

A must is a visit to the Oceanarium, Snake Park and Museum Complex that can be found along the main Beach Road.

There are a couple of wildlife parks just outside the city, but I chose to go in search of ‘real’ wildlife, which was only 80km away.

For the military buffs, you can find a branch of the South African Air Force Museum there. (In the ‘70s this was the home of 6th Squadron, the last group that flew Harvards.)

There are a number of great places within driving distance of the city where visitors can enjoy tea and scones – part of the British legacy.

Port Elizabeth is a year-round destination, and when Durban and Cape Town are jam-packed at year-end, visitors to this city enjoy plenty of space on the three main beaches.

While the majority of visitors head off to Plett or Knysna, I chose to stop off and spend some time in

The City Hall in Port Elizabeth was built between 1858 and 1862. It stands in Market Square and serves as a council chamber and concert and lecture hall. It was declared a national monument in 1973

Grahamstown (home of the first newspaper to be printed in South Africa).

What was a tiny settler town has now become a vibrant educational city. With Rhodes University at the hub, this is definitely a city for students and the young at heart. Get there during term and you will find the various coffee shops teeming with the young and not so young.

Try to make the National Arts Festival – two weeks of pure theatre bliss, not to mention lots to eat and drink. I discovered the Railway cappuccino while there (strong coffee with frothed condensed milk served in an enamel mug!) Because of the popularity of this festival, accommodation bookings are already open for 2016.

Nature’s callMy final destinations, and the ‘bush’ part of my trip, were the Great Fish River Lodge in Kwandwe Private Game Reserve and River Bend Lodge in Addo Elephant Park. Designed to blend seamlessly into the landscape, the lodge has nine suites that sit high above the Fish River, giving guests a raptor-like view of the valley and its inhabitants.

After a few quiet game drives, I eventually spotted a mother cheetah with cubs and the elusive black rhino. Birders will be pleased to note that this reserve offers a safe breeding ground for the endangered blue crane. Happiness for me was seeing bat-eared foxes and nocturnal aardwolves during a morning game drive.

The Eastern Cape is not renowned as a wildlife destination. That honour seems to be reserved for our northern provinces. However, visitors will be surprised to learn that the area is home to several reserves that have international recognition. Addo Elephant Park, which I used to visit as a child, has been revamped and now has several five-star lodges. In 1919 a law was passed that saw hunters shoot most of the elephant population. The numbers went from 200 to 11 in less than a year. Luckily for the present generation the park was proclaimed in 1931 and today there are 450 of the grey giants.

The Eastern Cape is an underrated tourist destination that is waiting to be discovered. The relaxed pace and friendly people will help to nurture mind, body and soul.

But if you’re trying to do business in the ‘economically active’ end of the market, you have to set emotions aside and work out what’s really going on. That’s where BrandMapp comes in. It’s a unique, online survey of 24,500 individuals (we call them ‘our people’) – about half of who are ‘middle class’ (living in households with income between R10k and R30k per month). The other half are ‘top-enders’: the 10% of the SA population who live in households earning more than R30,000 a month, pulling the economy along as they strive for a bigger, better, brighter future for themselves and their country.

So if we were asked right now to give our top six tips to business leaders about how to tap into the needs and perceptions of these people, what would they be? Here goes …

Did you know that the top 30% of South African

income earners are responsible for 86% of consumer spend – about R2 trillion. And most of the remaining 70% live in households earning less than R5,000 per month – struggling to survive. How’s that for a sobering thought when you’re going 500kph at 20,000 feet!

How on earth

That’s a question WhyFive Insights gets asked a lot. Based on the results of its flagship survey, BrandMapp, here are some fascinating things you never knew you never knew!

do you know that?

advertorial

3608 15

1Ride the rainbowOver the past six years of the BrandMapp study, we’ve

watched the wedges on the pie chart change – and the rise of the black middle class as it finally outnumbered the white majority about two years back. For 2015, our top-end sample (the R30k plus people) looks like this: 53% pink vs 34% dark brown vs 13% light brown.

But it’s the fast-growing middle class driving the change: for those earning between R10k and R30k a month, 54% are very dark brown, 32% pink and 12% light brown people. (NB: it is not our preference to segment by ‘colour’, but if we have to, at least we can try to be technically correct!)

2 Have a digital marketing strategyAn old hat, perhaps, but you better wear it. Consider

these numbers: email newsletters aren’t spam – they’re a primary source of information. 45% subscribe to three or more email newsletters (and 28% subscribe to five or more), 78% are on Facebook, 35% use Twitter, and Instagram is the social medium on the move with 26%! Most importantly, 90% of our people have smartphones and 48% now own tablets.

3 Start a loyalty programmeLoyalty programmes are still growing. 34% of our

people are using them the same amount as a year ago – and 26% are using them more. Only a third of our people don’t use loyalty programmes. But what’s really

interesting is that it’s the wealthier folk who are more inclined to swipe loyalty cards: for top-enders, 32% are using more and 38% the same.

4Take CSI seriouslyThe spirit of ubuntu is alive and well. 66% of our

people do ‘all they can’ or ‘quite a lot’ when it comes to social issues (like poverty and education). 40% say they actively support companies who have CSI programmes, and a further 6% ‘actively work against’ companies who don’t give back to society! That’s a lot of potential ‘brand haters’. Why not give a little back – and avoid the risk?

5Be relevantPrint is dead, right? Wrong. Irrelevant media is

what’s dying. When 100% of the information you want is a mouse-click away, anything you’re not interested in is a waste of money. So 46% of our people might have stopped buying newspapers, but 72% of them ‘occasionally or often’ read their local community newspapers – from the uber-wealthy to the middle class. The content’s parochial, but that’s why it works: like bookmarked websites and email newsletters, community newspapers are exceptionally relevant.

6Hedge your bets onlineWe’re talking virtual stores here. Right now, 55% of

our people buy things online – despite concerns in the marketplace that online shopping hasn’t ‘taken off’. But in the 24- to 35-year-old segment (younger people who have purchasing power), that rises sharply to 61%. And they’re going to be the ‘older’ shopper in no time at all. In short, offering customers an online option is the smart thing to do. Have you ever considered what email did to the post office? Well, imagine if e-commerce does that to bricks-and-mortar.

The full BrandMapp survey from WhyFive offers insights into all aspects of economically active South Africans’ lives, from demo- and psychographics to media usage and shopping preferences. Respondents answer 200 questions across 500 brand, 380 media and 100 category filters, offering a never-before-seen view of the top end of the SA market.

Responsible travel is about putting back into travel what you get from it, and here are a few considerations that you could make when next you travel.

• Ask to see your tour operator’s responsible travel policy.

• Ask to see the environmental policy of the accommodation establishment that you have selected – don’t be fooled by vague and unsubstantiated claims.

• Help the local economy by buying local produce in preference to imported goods.

• Ask your tour operator to establish the extent to which local communities enjoy benefits from your economic spend during your stay at a location.

• If bargaining to buy an item, bear in mind that a small amount to you could be extremely important to the seller – be realistic and fair.

• Realise that often the people in the country you are visiting have different time concepts, values and thought patterns from your own. This does not make them inferior, only different.

• Cultivate the habit of asking questions and discover the pleasure of seeing a different way of life through others’ eyes.

• Use public transport, hire a bike or walk where convenient – you’ll meet local people and get to know the place far better. Always be safe and considerate.

• Use water sparingly – it is precious in many countries and the local people may not have sufficient clean water. Challenge any wasteful practices at your hotel or lodge.

• Switch something off – whenever you leave your room, switch unnecessary lights and equipment off and play your part in reducing greenhouse emissions.

• Don’t discard litter when visiting out-of-the-way places and attractions, take it with you and dispose of it at your hotel or lodge. Waste disposal is often a major problem at outlying attractions and sites and it leads to litter and unhealthy environments for locals.

• Respect local cultures, traditions and holy places. For example, ask permission before you photograph local people – in some countries it can cause offence.

• Do not buy products made from endangered species, hard woods, shells from beach traders, or ancient artefacts (which have probably been stolen). When visiting gift and curio shops, be aware of the source of the products on sale and if in doubt, don’t buy it.

• Read up on the countries you plan to visit – the welcome will be warmer if you take an interest and speak even a few words of the local language.

According to a United Nations report in March this year, about 2.9 billion people in 48 countries will be facing water shortages within 10 years, which could destabilise and jeopardise the “very existence” of some countries. By 2030, there will be a global supply shortfall of 40%. And

it could pose a major threat to global security.“People do not have the luxury of living without water

and when faced with a life or death decision, people tend to do whatever they must to survive,” the report said. “In this manner, changes in fundamental hydrology are likely to cause new kinds of conflict, and it can be expected that both water scarcity and flooding will become major transboundary water issues.”

Global warming is causing extreme weather events that are nudging water supply issues from bad to desperate. On their own, vanishing rivers or droughts could devastate a year’s worth of crops but combined

if you were to ask the average person to list what the cause of the next global conflict would

be, they’d likely list the threats posed by terrorism or rogue regimes brandishing nuclear weapons. What they almost certainly wouldn’t mention is water.

and over time, they pose a civilisational threat. In fact, United States intelligence agencies view the prospect of water shortage as a threat to be considered alongside terrorism and weapons of mass destruction.

A problem that doesn’t really existTo be clear, the world isn’t exactly running out of usable water. Fresh water is a very small portion of the planet’s entire water supply: it accounts for only about 2.5% of all water, and just 1% of fresh water is readily accessible. But it is all over the world, and it’s renewable.

The main problem with water isn’t total volume, it’s

about distribution. Water isn’t always where people need it when they need it, and all societies need it for everything: health, sanitation, agricultural production, energy and industry.

The ability to handle distribution to meet these demands is largely a function of wealth. While affluent countries are generally able to manage the resources to meet demand, poorer countries frequently lack the infrastructure to deliver clean, safe water. Their economies also tend to rely disproportionately on deregulated and dirty extractive industries that contaminate already scarce water supplies.

Impoverished nations are already suffering from serious water woes. Three-quarters of a billion people lack access to clean water, and water-related disease takes the lives of about 840,000 a year, according to Water.org. Women and children spend 140 million hours a day collecting usable water, often from unclean sources.

A growing problemAs the world’s population grows and endures increasingly volatile weather patterns, water management problems are on the brink of becoming far worse for much larger swathes of the global population. The ways we need water and the way the environment provides water are increasingly not matching up, because things like climate change make it less and less predictable. We build our society around when we can get water, when we can grow food and how we have to house ourselves, because we understand the environment around us after living in it for hundreds and hundreds of generations.

The problem now, partly due to climate change, is that we can’t predict the patterns of rainfall, where water is going to be when, when things melt, and how floods and droughts work. The decline in our ability to predict the flow of the world’s water based on historical patterns, called ‘relative hydrological stationarity’ in the scientific community, is a game changer.

“The loss of stationarity is playing poker with a deck in which new cards you have never seen before keep appearing more and more often, ultimately disrupting your hand to such an extent that the game no longer has coherence or meaning,” the United Nations report said.

Everyone is affectedThat trickling in of new cards is dangerous. Lack of water has played a role in countless conflicts on a sub-national level. There were hundreds of instances of water-related

Other reasons why water is vital for a sustainable futureHealth and disease: Globally, 2.5 billion people

lack adequate sanitation facilities and one billion

practise open defecation, costing the world $260

billion annually. Closing this gap will help prevent

water-related diseases such as diarrhoea, the

second leading cause of death in children under

the age of five. Of the 760,000 children who

die of diarrhoea every year, 88% of deaths are

attributed to unsafe water, inadequate sanitation

and insufficient hygiene.

alone, 90 million people do not have access to

adequate sanitation. Poor sanitation, rather than

insufficient food, is emerging as a key factor

The next world war could very well be fought for the control of water resources

in malnourishment, which leads to stunting of

growth in an estimated 65 million children in India

under the age of five as nutrients and energy are

diverted away from growth and development to

fight infection for survival.

Gender inequality: Women and girls are more

likely to bear the burden of fetching drinking

water from outdoor sources. Surveys from 45

developing countries show that in almost two-

thirds of households without a drinking water

source on the premises, it is women and girls

who collect water. In sub-Saharan Africa, women

and girls spend 40 billion hours a year collecting

water – the equivalent of a year’s worth of labour

by the entire workforce in France.

Sustainable energy: Brazil generates more

than 70% of its energy from hydropower –

water shortages may cause electricity blackouts,

affecting industrial drivers of the economy.

Imposed energy quotas due to a drought in 2000

and 2001 are estimated to have cost the country

roughly $20 billion, reducing the GDP by 2%.

Agriculture and food security: Approximately

half of global grain production will be at risk

due to water stress by 2050. This is not only a

problem in developing or emerging economies.

For example, the state of California (USA) is in

conflict in the past half-century, which range from Kenyan tribes clashing over water amid droughts to riots in South Africa over lack of access to clean water.

More recent conflicts include a hidden element of water scarcity to them. Inter-ethnic conflict in Sudan in the 2000s was also driven by warring over access to clean water. Today, the militant Islamist State group is reportedly using control of water in Iraq and Syria as a tool of war.

It’s increasingly clear that even rich countries cannot keep their water supplies safe from the consequences of climate change and extreme weather events – or from the instability that follows. In recent years California has experienced its worst drought in recorded history, which has rippled through both the local and national economy. Floods in the Canadian province of Manitoba in 2011 and 2014 caused the government’s budget deficit to swell and ultimately led to political leaders resigning, according to the UN report. Insecurity can bubble up in even the places that are taken for granted as stable.

The world’s water supply crisis is a serious one. By 2050, sustaining the planet will require more water than it does today. But it isn’t hopeless.

The global community can develop institutions and technologies designed to enhance water management capabilities and minimise future weather volatility. Many of the policy solutions already exist, and areas prone to conflict can be monitored more closely. What’s most badly needed is political will and action.

Access to alternative sources of energy is an option, but the cost implications often pose a challenge to many businesses. Furthermore, issues of technology, time and the regulatory framework aggravate the situation.

Although using less electricity is the easiest way to improve the situation with immediate effect, lower electricity usage is often equated with lower production levels and profits for businesses, and the resultant negative impact on the economy.

According to Joanne Yawitch, Chief Executive of the National Business Initiative (NBI), by bringing energy efficiency into the equation, the outcome is quite the opposite: energy efficiency measures equal lower electricity usage, lower electricity bills, improved

production and increased profits. Put differently: through the implementation of energy efficiency measures tailored to the needs of a particular business or industry, electricity usage can be lowered without negatively impacting production levels, while saving money and potentially boosting profits.

Making it workEnergy efficiency measures can take many forms – from simply switching off office lights and machines when not in use, to the integration of alternative forms of energy into a workshop, factory or farm. The starting point is to know how much electricity your business consumes every month. From there you can start exploring options for reducing your power usage and integrating sustainable forms of alternative energy for specific applications. Companies that have not yet conducted an energy survey should make it their first priority.

Until alternative energy becomes a viable

with South Africa facing an energy supply shortage, the price of electricity is set to continue its

Power upSupport for businesses amid SA’s energy constraints

In June 2013, the National Business Initiative (NBI) was awarded more than R150 million by the UK government through its Department for International Development (DFID) to implement the Private Sector Energy Efficiency (PSEE) programme as a countrywide programme of support for energy efficiency improvement in the South African private sector.

This funding enables the PSEE to offer free energy surveys to medium companies and subsidised strategic energy management interventions for large companies, while small companies have access to free workshops, toll-free telephonic support and web-based information and publications. The programme is supported by the SA Department of Energy and technical assistance is provided by the Carbon Trust, leveraging its experience of similar programmes in the UK.

The PSEE has already identified more than 2,000 opportunities for more efficient energy usage in over

30 large and 300 medium companies, and has also supported around 3,000 small companies. These opportunities can generate substantial cost savings – no-cost or low-cost energy efficiency measures alone could save your business up to 20% in energy costs.

The PSEE can also help prepare companies for the introduction of carbon tax in 2016 and addressing any gaps in their energy management strategy.

While the search for alternate energy should be the ultimate goal, right now businesses need to look at realistic ways of working with conventional power supplies and ensuring that such resources contribute positively to the bottom line.

For the leader this question is vital and the answer is linked to another question: How much clarity have you provided as the leader? Clarity about what the business stands for, what standards and behaviours

people must strive for, how the business will compete and what is ultimately most important. Without this information employees work in a vacuum. They work on what’s directly in front of them and busyness often gets confused with productive action. It is one of your most important tasks as a leader to ensure that everyone in your business is really adding value and creating clarity is the most effective way to do so. It starts by the Executive Management Team answering a few fundamental questions about the organisation. The questions themselves are not new, but when answered together and clearly communicated from the top, create

our lives are busy. We attend meetings, write documents and proposals, make

presentations, take and make phone calls and spend hours each day writing and sending emails. Everything seems important, but how much of this busyness and activity is truly valuable?

a powerful storyline about what the business stands for and how it plans to succeed.

1Why do we exist?This question goes to the core purpose of the

business and identifies its underlying reason for being.Forget the often uninspired and mediocre mission

statements that are neither lofty enough nor descriptive enough to be helpful, this question is about what difference you are trying to make in the world and why the people who work there should care.

The answer to this question must be genuinely

idealistic. Employees at every level need to know that at the heart of what they do lies something grand and aspirational. Making money for shareholders is almost never a purpose, but rather an important indicator of success. It’s how an organisation knows it’s fulfilling its purpose but falls far short of inspiring people to do their best work over time. This question gets people out of bed in the morning and reminds them that what the business is trying to achieve is both noble and worth doing.

2 What do we do?Whereas the first question is aspirational, this one

is extremely practical. The answer is nothing more than a description of what the organisation actually does. This is the vehicle you have chosen to achieve your core purpose and is a literal explanation of what business you are in, who you serve and how you make money.

It’s critical to be clear and straightforward and the answer should not be crafted so that it can be used in marketing material. The point is just to make sure that the leadership team can accurately describe the nature of the organisation’s business so they don’t create confusion within the rest of the company or in the market.

3 How will we succeed?This relates to the strategy of the business

and clarifies how the organisation competes and differentiates itself. Once clear, these anchors are used to inform every decision the business makes and provide the filter through which decisions and actions must be evaluated for consistency. It is important that each person connects to the strategy of the business in a practical way. These anchors make it possible for them to do so. Now they, too, have a guide for knowing when they are adding value or not.

4 What is most important right now?Above everything this question has the most

tangible impact on the organisation and draws members of the top team together around a single and clearly defined objective, otherwise known as a rallying cry. It is the single most important priority right now, which has to be achieved in order to claim success. To be real and tangible the goal must be achievable within a clear time boundary, almost always between three and 12 months.

5 How do we behave? The answer to this question is embodied in an

organisation’s core values – which provide the ultimate guide for employee behaviour at all levels.

The emphasis here is on those few behaviours that are both fundamental and irreplaceable for you to succeed as a company. Not the normal long list which is so diluted and generic and attempts to be all things to all people. These behaviours are an integral part of your whole strategic approach – they set you apart and must exist within all employees.

6 Who must do what?At one level the final question seems obvious and

straightforward but its importance must not be taken for granted. Making assumptions about the answers can lead to surprising and unwanted problems. Sometimes two people claim to be responsible for the same task or discipline, in other cases there is a gap or even when it’s clear the expectations of what must be delivered are not. It is always worthwhile to clarify so everyone on the team knows and agrees on what everyone else does and that all critical areas are covered.

It’s both simple and difficultAnswering these questions as a leadership team is both simple and difficult.

Simple in that it does not require great intellectual capacity or cleverness; every leadership team has more than enough intellect, information and experience to achieve clarity. It’s difficult because it does require cohesion at the top, a commitment to avoid coming up with catchy phrases that sound impressive but mean very little, and then the most precious executive resource of all – time.

Not months, but the investment of a few days upfront and then time to sit with the answers to ensure everyone fully understands what they mean. The quest should not be for the perfect right answers but those to which all executives can enthusiastically commit and then use to ensure that everyone is really adding value to the organisation.

According to Cape Town Tourism, each year more than two million visitors pay handsomely for the pleasure of doing that, and providing services and accommodation for them has become an ever-growing multi-billion rand business.

Jason Rohde, CEO of Lew Geffen Sotheby’s International Realty South Africa, cites a 32% year-on-year increase in the company’s residential sales in the Western Cape. Among the top-performing areas are the Atlantic Seaboard and the Winelands.

Interestingly, many of those seeking properties in the Western Cape do so in order to serve a dual purpose – providing accommodation, as well as a tourism business opportunity. It’s very clear just how much hard currency, foreign and local, tourism drives into the Western Cape. Many see this and they either want to start a home-based business or they want a second income stream. That’s when they look for properties that can be used as B&Bs, guesthouses or even large country retreats.

Lew Geffen Sotheby’s International Realty Hout Bay area specialist Terri Steyn says guesthouse-seekers are one of her biggest lines of business.

“We field numerous enquiries for properties that

can be used as guesthouses. People who are close to retirement age and want to run a business from home or those who want a second income see Hout Bay as a great suburb for this because of its natural beauty, amazing beach and its village-type feel,” she says.

But the place young holidaymakers want to see and be seen at is the Atlantic Seaboard, with pristine beaches lining the shores of the multi-million rand suburbs of Clifton and Camps Bay. And this is an economic market segment not to be ignored.

Large youth marketAccording to Cape Town Tourism’s October 2013 to March 2014 Industry Performance Report, 42% of visitors to the city were between the ages of 18 and 34 – more than double the global traveller average as noted in the United Nations World Tourism Organisation’s The Power of Youth Travel report.

Brendan Miller, CEO of Lew Geffen Sotheby’s International Realty on the Atlantic Seaboard, says nowadays what was formerly considered the ‘youth’ age bracket has disposable income and can’t simply be consigned to budget accommodation. “A large sector of this market can more than afford to holiday on the Atlantic Seaboard and the numbers increase every year.”

But while a nine-bedroom property with guesthouse potential can still be bought in Hout Bay for as little as R9 million, the same can’t be said for Camps Bay, Clifton or Bantry Bay. Miller says in Camps Bay a modern seven- to eight-bedroom house will cost upwards of R20m, and the sky is the limit as far as price is concerned in Bantry Bay and Clifton.

A second home in the Western Cape can add

significantly to your retirement nest egg

few people in the world would say no to the opportunity of

watching the sun set over the Atlantic from a villa in Clifton, waking up to a pod of dolphins surfing in Wilderness, or taking a stroll between the vines at the foot of the Simonsberg in the Winelands.

Bev Malan, principal of Lew Geffen Sotheby’s International Realty in SA’s culinary capital of Franschhoek, says she fields numerous queries from within South Africa and internationally from people who want large properties to turn into guesthouses or small country hotels.

Malan says there is undoubtedly sufficient trade to support well-run tourist accommodation businesses in the Winelands. “During the summer months international and national tourists dominate, but Capetonians are very quick to take advantage of low-season rates, so most good establishments are busy year-round.”

However, before investing in any property you intend to turn into a B&B or guesthouse, you should do your homework thoroughly. For example, if you’re buying a property that’s stood for 60 years or longer, which is a distinct possibility in the Cape, you’ll run into heritage permit issues if you want to make any alterations to the building.

There are also different regulations for tourism businesses in each municipality in the province. In some cases, there are even different bylaws that apply within one sub-council. But if you’ve identified a good location, the property is in tip-top shape and you’ve done your homework in terms of regulations and bylaws, then there’s every chance that making the move and opening the business will be a sound investment if it’s run well, because the province certainly sees the tourist numbers to make ventures of this kind sustainable.

As a way of ensuring that your money is bequeathed to a loved one and can provide financial security either while you are alive or after you have passed on, a trust can be a useful estate planning tool.

A trust is an entity that is established where one or more people (called trustees) are ‘entrusted’ with looking after and managing an asset (usually money) for the benefit of one or more people (called beneficiaries) for a certain period of time.

Breaking it downThere are two basic types of trusts: a testamentary trust, which is only set up after a person’s death in accordance

with the wishes laid out in their will, and an inter vivos trust, created during a person’s lifetime and setting out the details of the trust.

Given that an inter vivos trust can cost about R7,500 to set up (depending on the complexity), it is advisable to use a testamentary trust in one’s will to specifically cater for the possibility of dying with minor children. The setup costs of an inter vivos trust can thus be avoided if the trust proves to not be needed at death, for example if the children are over 18 by then. The latter is better if one is seeking to protect assets from creditors or to reduce estate duty.

Both trusts can be set up on either a discretionary or a vesting basis. A discretionary trust means that the trustees have discretion to decide if they will distribute any income (interest, dividends, rental) each year, while a vesting trust means income derived from the trust assets must be allocated each year to the specified beneficiary.

Why trust funds are not just for the super-rich

If you are wondering if you should set up a trust fund for children, here are some of the benefits:

• By law, if a person under 18 years of age inherits money, it has to be deposited in the Guardian’s Fund. This restricts the investment options and flexibility that the testator might prefer and it is thus advisable to make provision in your will for a trust to be set up if any of your children are under 18 at the time of your death.

• It protects assets from creditors as they can’t generally lay claim to a trust’s assets.

• It limits future estate duty liability. If a trust fund grows from R200,000 to R1.2 million over 15 years, the growth in the trust’s name could avoid the estate duty cost at the founder’s death of 20%, if the assets had been held in his name. This would amount to a R200,000 saving in death taxes.

• Income tax planning and the conduit principle. This means that if the trust earns income and distributes it all to the beneficiaries, then the trust itself will not incur any tax liability on the income it earned. This tax liability passes to the beneficiary who received the taxable income. Subject to certain tax law limitations, the trust can thus operate like a funnel through which the taxable earnings flow. The trustees of a discretionary trust may thus be able to channel taxable income to the children to reduce the family’s overall tax bill.

Seal of approvalA trust company or attorney can assist in setting up a trust fund, which is then registered with the office of the Master of the High Court. The trust needs to be registered for tax purposes with SARS and a bank account must be opened.

Setting up and running a trust does cost money. The setup cost could be around R7,500 and the annual fee could be a similar amount if an independent trustee is hired. Thus the benefit needs to outweigh these initial and annual costs.

Trusts are not only for the super-rich but the cost/benefit trade-off means that it can be too expensive to run for smaller capital amounts. In special cases the founder may be prepared to incur the higher relative cost on smaller capital amounts to achieve his or her objective with the trust.

For those considering establishing a trust, it is best that you meet with a certified financial planner who will take you through whether a trust is the right investment vehicle to protect your assets into the future.

The research uncovered that rather than confronting the co-worker, 46% of employees will work around the individual or avoid the person and 18% will complain to others about the person’s bad behaviour. The consequence of not holding a co-worker accountable and confronting their bad behaviour results in 82% of employees feeling frustrated, angry, offended and disappointed.

Art of distractionEighty-eight percent of employees report that they

experience bad co-worker behaviour, where fellow employees focus only on that which they like doing rather than what needs to be done, deflect blame, don’t take responsibility, or self-promote without noticing what others contribute. With a lack of accountability in an organisation, these individuals get away with just about anything and are accountable for almost nothing.

There are high costs to an organisation for employees to work around these co-workers – bad behaviour damages morale, quality and productivity. It also drives away valuable, productive employees. Frighteningly, even with these outcomes, nine in 10 individuals reported that bad behaviour continues as issues can’t be resolved if no one is standing up to hold anyone accountable for their bad behaviour.

It is integral then that an organisation introduces a culture of 200% accountability. This concept means that not only is a person 100% accountable

for their own best practices, but they’re also 100% accountable for the best practices of their colleagues. Instead of team leaders being the only ones to hold others accountable, everyone in the team or department should hold everyone else accountable.

Three steps that can assist in holding co-workers accountable are:1. Identify the right problem. When approaching a co-worker, think ‘CPR’ (content, pattern, relationship). A natural inclination is to talk content – the immediate offense. But if and when a co-worker continues to behave poorly, it's time to talk about the pattern of bad behaviour. If the infraction continues, talk about the long-term damage the pattern is having on the relationship, trust and dependability.2. Make it motivating. If the other person is able to do what's been asked, but chooses not to, start by making the invisible visible. Talk about the natural

consequences – both good and bad – he or she cares about. What are the effects of his or her behaviour on other employees, customers and share owners?3. Make it easy. If you find out the problem is not due to motivation, then it's likely due to an ability barrier. Maybe your expectations aren't realistic. Maybe the individual has not been provided with the right tools. Maybe he or she is constrained because of bureaucracy. Whatever the constraints, discover them and make changes. The goal is to make it as easy as possible for your co-worker to meet the expectation.

Accountability needs to be everyone’s responsibility, and if this is not the case, there are detrimental effects on relationships within a team or organisation. A culture of accountability is possible, particularly when peers know they have the right and the ability to directly and respectfully address an issue when they see something going wrong.

The power of peer accountability is often underutilised and may in fact be the ultimate performance driver. Many organisations attempt to create a culture of accountability with robust performance management systems. Peer pressure, responsibility and accountability are much more effective in achievements as opposed to any policy or system.

Successful organisations are dependent on management creating a culture where anyone can hold anyone else accountable – managers to employees, employees to managers and peers to peers. The core value in this culture is not power, but results.

Proof that this problem is not merely theoretical is that, since 1998, there have been several cases where employees, dismissed for absenteeism, have been reinstated by the CCMA and/or awarded compensation. Discussion of some case law decisions should assist employers in avoiding such legal pitfalls.

In the case of NUMSA on behalf of Damons vs Delta Motor Corporation and Another, the employee was dismissed for repeated absenteeism. The CCMA commissioner ruled that the employer had not complied with its own policy, found the dismissal to be unfair and ordered the employer to reinstate the employee.

In the case of Krouwkamp vs Tanua Technologies, the employee was dismissed for having been absent without leave for four days. The employer held the disciplinary hearing while the employee was still absent but later offered to hold a new hearing. However, the

employee refused this offer saying that she had already been dismissed.

The arbitrator held that the employer had not made a proper effort to contact the employee before holding the first hearing. The commissioner accepted the employee’s evidence that she had been ill and found that the employer had acted too hastily. The dismissal was found to be unfair and the employer was required to pay the employee compensation amounting to 12 months’ remuneration.

Tread carefullyThe above cases show that while employees can be dismissed for absenteeism, a small mistake on the part of the employer can result in the reinstatement and/or compensation of the employee at the employer’s expense. Therefore, it is imperative that management understands the law and their own policies well enough to implement them faultlessly. A failure to follow fair procedure is most likely to work in the employee’s favour.

For years researchers believed that women were born with all the eggs they would ever have. That – and the fact that the quality of the eggs diminishes when a woman reaches her 40s – meant infertility was inevitable past a certain age. But in 2004, Jonathan Tilly and other researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital showed that ovaries also contain egg precursor cells, which might, in theory, mature into new eggs or boost the health of existing ones. Now OvaScience, which Tilly cofounded – a member of this year’s 50 Smartest Companies list – is developing treatments for infertile couples. In its first commercially available approach, energy-producing mitochondria are transferred from egg precursor cells into mature eggs to rejuvenate them. These eggs are then used for in vitro fertilisation. In May, the first baby was born to parents who tried this approach. OvaScience CEO Michelle Dipp spoke with MIT Technology Review contributing editor Amanda Schaffer.

What need does OvaScience’s technology address that regular in vitro fertilisation does not?One in six couples worldwide struggles with infertility, and unfortunately, the standard of care, which is

IVF, often fails. Our goal is to address the root cause of infertility and the reason treatment fails, which is frequently unhealthy eggs. We now know that women have egg precursor cells in the outer lining of our ovaries. We are developing several treatments that use these precursor cells. In one treatment, which is now on the market, we add mitochondria to eggs. In another approach, which is still experimental, we move egg precursor cells to the middle of the ovary so that they grow into eggs during IVF. In a third treatment [also experimental], we take the precursor cells and grow them into eggs outside the body.

Should these treatments change the way we think about the biological clock?As a woman gets older, she still has these fresh, young, healthy egg precursor cells. These cells don’t seem to age with time, because they’re in an area that lacks a good blood supply, so they lie dormant. I do think that discovery should change our assumptions about fertility and aging.

So how late in life could a woman get pregnant?It ends up being a doctor-patient conversation about

what age they do IVF, and most clinics have certain ways to think about what their age cutoff is. Usually around the time of menopause, it becomes a lot more challenging. Women have to use other hormones in addition to IVF to get pregnant.

Do you see a limit on how many people could benefit from this technology? More women are waiting to start families. When you look at emerging markets, like in Latin America and the Middle East, more women are going to college, more of them are seeking advanced degrees, more of them are travelling to other countries to get those advanced degrees. They’re prioritising other things. [Because they’re older when they try to have children] there’s an increase in infertility as well as in IVF rates, and the demand is expected to be even greater in the future. The global market is projected to reach over $20 billion by 2020.

This treatment is expensive – about R190,000 on top of the cost of IVF. Won’t cost place an important limit on patient access?It already does with IVF. Many more couples are infertile than seek treatment, because it is paid for out of pocket. [But] a number of doctors offer IVF pro bono in countries where it is hard for patients to gain access.

Your first treatment is not available in the United States. Is the future of the company mainly in other countries? That’s certainly what the market has always dictated in the past. The growth rate of IVF in Europe is about 10%. There is no growth in the US. That said, the goal is to bring our treatments to women everywhere, and that includes the US. But I’m afraid I can’t comment on what we would need to do to win regulatory approval here.

How strong is the evidence that your treatment works, considering the absence of randomised controlled trials? New data show that women who failed previous IVF treatment and then used our approach increased their chance of having a child. We’re really excited about that. Because these women had tried IVF already, they served as their own controls.

Fertility treatments are not drugs. Drugs are of course analysed by a randomised controlled trial, but these are surgical procedures.

Against the normTo those who don’t speak marketing, Hyundai is saying that it is targeting a younger audience that will mainly use its bakkie for the daily drive into the city. Things like towing, payload and ground clearance were, in Hyundai’s words, “not primary goals.”

Thus the Santa Cruz is not your typical double-cab leisure bakkie and it is not intended to compete with them. According to Hyundai’s international press release, the vehicle has been designed to meet desires for “expression, efficiency and manoeuvrability.”

At the moment Hyundai’s offering is nothing more than a concept vehicle, but they are obviously testing the waters to see how people react. Why would they pour so much money into a concept and then do nothing with it?

As far as we are concerned, the Santa Cruz gets two thumbs way up.

The design is typical Hyundai, if a bit flamboyant, but there’s a good reason for that. Hyundai has built this bakkie to catch the eye of the ‘urban adventurer’ with a ‘millennial lifestyle’.

Hyundai’s first proper leisure bakkie has been a long time coming, but it seems the result was definitely worth the wait. The South Korean marque has been battling away at the Japanese manufacturers’

market share in various segments for more than a decade, and it makes sense for them to get into a best-selling segment such as the light LCV market. The top-selling vehicle in SA, for example, is a bakkie.

Hyundai’s concept is built more for cruising, less for bruising

Santa Cruz control

With efficiency being one of the key characteristics of the vehicle, Hyundai has chosen to fit the concept with a 2.0ℓ turbocharged diesel engine developing 142kW and 406Nm of torque. It also features Hyundai’s HTRAC all-wheel drive system, which means, in theory at least, that it should be able to cope with moderate off-road conditions.The Santa Cruz is obviously more

compact than the bakkies we are used to in SA and that’s mostly because of the goals

Hyundai has set for the vehicle. The easiest way to make a bakkie more

manoeuvrable is to make it smaller, but the downside is the lack of a proper loadbin. To

compensate, Hyundai’s engineers have come up with a rather ingenious solution. The Santa Cruz has a tailgate extension, which allows for the bin to be extended when the need arises. It’s an interesting idea,

The design cues of the Santa Cruz show that this is not the kind of bakkie you want to take out bundu bashing

mostly because the South Koreans know how to build a good car and we doubt that they will have any problems in producing a decent bakkie.

We’re also fascinated by Hyundai’s statement that it has no intention of competing with the status quo and that it would rather offer its Santa Cruz as an alternative to crossover and sedan buyers who seek the utility that a bakkie offers, but without the traditional drawbacks associated with these vehicles.

A production-ready Santa Cruz is still a long way off, but we’d be surprised if Hyundai hasn’t already given this project the green light.

There’s no downside to Hyundai offering a double-cab bakkie, albeit a less hardcore version of the bakkies we know and love. And even though Hyundai says that it’s not going after the likes of the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger, we’re willing to bet that the Santa Cruz would still stir things up if it finds its way to our shores.

MULTIBRAAI STARTED MAKING GAS AND CHARCOAL BRAAIS IN 1977. This Pretoria-based company created the concept of the V-shaped braai grid, which drains a lot of the fat from the cooking away from the flames of the grill, thereby minimising burning of harder-to-cook foods such as chicken flatties and wors. Firefox has been making wood and charcoal braais and open wood fires since 1998. The unique moulded frame on its units has given them a distinctive look, much sought after by developers and private clients. In December 2013 Firefox and Multibraai merged their operations under one roof, looking to blend the strengths of the two companies into a powerful national manufacturer and distributor of fireplaces, braais and extraction systems.For more information www.firefox.co.za, Tel: 012 666 9379, Email: [email protected], 104 Van Tonder Street, Sunderland Ridge, Pretoria.

Each Battleship puzzle represents a section of ocean with a hidden fleet of one battleship, two cruisers and three submarines.

The ships may be oriented horizontally or vertically within the grid so that no ship touches another, not even diagonally. Any remaining squares in the grid contain water segments, which are shown as a symbol of water or as an X.

The numbers on the bottom and on the right of the grid show how many squares in the corresponding rows and columns are occupied by ships. The object is to discover where all six ships are located.

In honour of Orville Wright’s birthday on 19 August, we look at some achievements over the years in the field of aviation. Orville and his brother Wilbur became the first to navigate a fixed-wing aircraft in 1903. They went on to develop the world’s first practical fixed-wing aircraft. Orville was even honoured by then-US president Franklin D Roosevelt, who declared his birthday National Aviation Day in America.

1 The Wright brothers may have taken the first flight, but they were by no means the first to

attempt it. In the year 559, Chinese prisoners were forced to jump from a tower attached to a kite. All died bar one, who sailed over the prison walls. Sadly his freedom was short-lived. He was recaptured and later executed.

2 An English monk in the 11th century attempted to fly by attaching wings to himself and gliding

over 200m. His landing, however, rendered him lame for the rest of his life when he broke both legs on impact.

3 The world’s first aviation disaster occurred in 1785 when a hot air balloon crash in Ireland

started a fire which burned about 100 houses.

4 Sophie Blanchard became the first woman to pilot her own hot air balloon in 1805. She

sadly also became the first woman to die in an aviation accident in 1819 when her balloon caught fire and crashed.

5 In 1909 the Daily Mail newspaper ran a competition encouraging aviators to be the first

to cross the English Channel. The £1,000 prize was won by Louis Blériot.

6 Ahmet Ali Celikten became the first black military pilot in 1914. His grandmother had

originated from Nigeria and was brought to the Ottoman Empire as a slave.

7 The first scheduled commercial flight set off from St Petersburg to Tampa on 1 January 1914.

The paying customer was former St Petersburg mayor Abraham C Pheill, and the 23-minute flight became a regular route six days a week over the next few months.

8 Charles Lindbergh made the first solo non-stop transatlantic flight in 1927. The 33-hour journey

won him the $25,000 Orteig Prize, sponsored by a New York hotelier with an interest in aviation.

9 Amelia Earhart, on 20 May 1932, became the first female pilot to fly solo across the

Atlantic Ocean.

10 More recently, in 2005, Steve Fossett undertook a 67-hour flight to be the first person to fly solo,

non-stop around the world in a fixed-wing plane.

Two Zebras stallions fight for the right to take control of a herd in the Kruger National Park. Although Zebras are sociable animals, there is a strict pecking order among the herd’s males. This is established by fighting and maintained by threat gestures. In addition to having the right to mate with the females in the herd, the privileges of a being a high-ranking male is that they get priority of access to dust baths, shade and other limited resources.

Protect our paradiseIn the early ‘70s Mitchell explained how she got inspired to write this protest tune: “I wrote Big Yellow Taxi on my first trip to Hawaii. I took a taxi to the hotel and when I woke up the next morning, I threw back the curtains and saw these beautiful green mountains in the distance. Then, I looked down and there was a parking lot as far as the eye could see, and it broke my heart … this blight on paradise. That’s when I sat down and wrote the song.”

The song has a sentimental tone to it, and warns us that we will regret not taking care of what we have

now. When writing the song, Joni first focused on Hawaii. The line, “took all the trees, put ‘em in a tree museum/ charged the people a dollar and a half/ just to see ‘em” was inspired by Foster Gardens, an indoor botanical garden in Waikiki, which creates the impression of being a ‘tree museum’. The implication is that should humans continue our destructive ways, trees might one day become something that you can only see in a museum.

The line, “Put away that DDT now/ give me spots on my apples/ but leave me the birds and the bees” refers to the insecticide DDT which was used on crops,

The state of Hawaii was the inspiration for Big Yellow Taxi

they paved paradise and put up a parking lot. This is a well-known verse from the song Big Yellow Taxi, originally recorded by Joni Mitchell in 1970. It was

a hit for her in her native Canada, as well as in Australia and the United Kingdom. Joni herself said in 1994: “What I realise now is that songs like Big Yellow Taxi have almost become nursery rhymes, they’ve become part of the culture.” The song owes its fame to becoming a green anthem over the years, addressing what will happen if we do not take care of our planet. Many others also wanted to spread this message, leading to Big Yellow Taxi being covered by various artists, including Amy Grant and the Counting Crows.

and which was a controversial issue at the time the song was written. The harmful effects of this chemical was discovered and Americans were beginning to learn that their food, even though it looked good, was contaminated by its use. And the damage went even further. Birds went on to eat the insects poisoned by the DDT, and it caused them to lay brittle eggs. This put many species in danger, including the bald eagle, whose population was at its lowest during the time DDT was used. Fortunately this species’ numbers started to recover after DDT was banned for most uses in 1972.

Interestingly, in the last verse the song changes from environmental to personal: “Late last night/ I heard the screen door slam/ and a big yellow taxi/ took away my old man.” This is also the first time that the song title actually appears in the song. The ‘old man’ has been interpreted to either be the narrator’s boyfriend, husband or father, while the big yellow taxi could either be just a taxi or a police vehicle. Despite this change, the central theme remains the same, and is summarised in the line “Don’t it always seem to go/ That you don’t know what you’ve got/ Till it’s gone.” Thus – take care of what you have while you have it, because if you don’t you will lose it, and only then will you realise how much it really meant to you.

Cover versionsIf you are not crazy about this song, it might help to try listening to another version, as there are many to choose from, each with its own twist. Even Joni herself did a ‘cover’ of her song in a 2007 re-recording.

Here are some other versions: • Amy GrantThe songstress released her version of Big Yellow Taxi in 1995. At Joni Mitchell’s request she changed the lyrics slightly. In the original version people get charged “a dollar and a half” to see the trees in the tree museum, while in Amy’s version, the people are charged “25 bucks.” Interestingly, in Joni’s 2007 version, she changed the price again – this time entry fee to the museum costs “an arm and a leg” – painting a clear picture of how life is getting more expensive! Amy also changed one of the references to “paved paradise” to “steam-rolled paradise.”• Counting Crows featuring Vanessa CarltonThis band covered the track almost as an afterthought – it was a hidden track on their 2002 album Hard Candy. But as it goes, it turned out to be one of their biggest hits as well as the most successful version of the song. Vocalist Adam Duritz didn’t want to risk his manliness and changed the lyric “A big yellow taxi took away my old man” to “A big yellow taxi took my girl away.”

The net worth of singer Beyoncé in 2015

$250 million

I often find myself completely in awe of creation. The immense detail that goes into making every plant and animal unique, the majestic ocean, and the brilliant way everything fits together to function as a whole (the colours of the plants and animals never even clash!).

But among all this perfection, an ugly thing rears its head once a year: winter. Those few months in the year when everything you have to do becomes torture. Your dress code becomes ‘smart-casual onion’ – layer upon uncomfortable layer. Yet you remain powerless against the cold.

As a child I kept a diary, and every year when winter came I would draw up a grid in there, containing 92 blocks, one for each day of June, July and August. Each day, with great satisfaction, I would cross off a block, happy that we were a bit closer to spring.

We try hard to make ourselves feel better about the icy season. We tell ourselves that winter is all cosy and comfy, with time spent cuddled up in front of a fireplace with soup and hot chocolate. But let’s be honest here. Does that snug scenario actually ever become a reality? Life doesn’t come to a standstill when it’s cold. You still have to keep your household running and stick to your deadlines. Only now you have to do it with frozen body parts.

Then you get those people who actually claim to prefer winter over summer. I firmly believe that if there is any truth to the aliens-among-us theory, these are the people we should be suspicious of. Want to confirm if someone’s strangeness leans towards the not-so-human side? Ask them what their favourite season is.

Fortunately, there is light at the end of the tunnel, and with it being August, the blocks are almost all crossed off and spring is around the corner. The cycle continues as it was meant to. Nature will come alive with new energy (not to mention that the onion clothes will be tossed into a dark cupboard) – and that is probably one of the most perfect things in all of creation.
