Draft Bill on home defect disclosure needs more teeth
Any attempts to legislate common sense will always fail. Social engineering is a long failed concept. "Should do" home inspections is the right route to take and is not a loophole at all. It places inspection responsibility squarely where it belongs - with the buyer. We cannot keep running away from responsibility using rhetoric such as 'unscrupulous sellers"

Employer cannot alter chairperson's decision in a disciplinary hearing
Good Day Jacques and AndreI have read the above article with interest and I need to establish the following:1. In an instance where the chairperson(externally appointed) makes the recommended sanction and the employer rejects the recommendations and substitute it with a harsher sanction of a dismissal after affording the employee to make representations and also giving the employee the reasons why the recommended sanction is rejected and the employer is of the view that it is unfair towards other employees who were dismissed for a similar misconduct and the employer has been consistent.RegardsThabangSo my question is, will that be ruled as being unfair dismissal?

How brands can reach black consumers
Peter, whilst your article may be construed as making sense, it also in another sense insulting and patronising. That Laduma is a success is no different from Omo being a success. For years, as a black person, I have read about being niched, being micro-analysed, being given fancy names such as "black diamonds" ad nauseum. Are we (blacks) still animals in a cage being figured out by (white) gurus and, in many instances, their black sycophants in the advertising industry. When are we going to see an article headlined "how to reach white consumers"? Is it because white consumers are "normal" and we of the black ilk are not?To misquote (former) Sowetan Sports Editor Sello Rabothata once opined: "In all my years as a journalist I have never heard of a black reporter being an expert on white issues".Mokone Molete

Africa strikes back
Mr. President your people are hungry, hopeless and confused. While you languishing in your multimillion mansion in eNkandla your people are living in shacks and falling makeshift houses. While you giggle so effectively wonderful your people are crying with the pain of losing their loved ones because your administration sent the police to use live ammunition to the citezens who voted you in as their president. You all have nice bank accounts to last you a thousand years while your people have no choise but result to crime to feed their families. Whats worse is that now your people are killing and chasing their kind because their different dialect (languages) and culture makes them a threat to the no jobs you promised them on your first term. Today is your second term Mr. President and when you talked in parliament on presidential state of the nations address you said SA has good story to tell like you have achieved your serious mandate you set to do on your campaign for election and relection for your 2nd term In office. While singing good story up there here down on were majority of your countrymen is languishing in deep pockets of poverty in townships and rural areas. I hear many sitting in their comforts Xenophobia is high in SA like they are in a different SA, i say get outside and see the smoke is from the same country you in do something about it. I ask why call it Xenophobia when it is an attack directed to the fellow Africans? Noo let us call it as it is Afrophobia, unless any foreign nationals are amongst those who lost their lives in the hands of the confused citezens of SA..? Yes i say foreing nationals not Afronationals since SA is not unattached to mother Afrika, then if thats the case i take all back and apologise to those who read my comments right here.Mr. President why allow visitors or is it permanent visitors (foreign nationals & Afronationals) to your house (country) full of your immediate and extended families (citezens) then only serve the interests of the other visitors only while neglecting your families and other group of visitors to fight for left overs? Can you see selective ideologies in the running of the country brings resentment and hate between your poor people and our Afronationals in the struggle for goodlife that is enjoyed by only your immediate families, foreign nationals, the privileged and the ANC? So Mr. President when will you see that your administration and those around you giving you advice have failed their initial mandate to free their people economically and not only political which is only a nector for the uninformed. As soon as our people realise that political freedom is mainly like buying a child a toy to shut him/her up from making noise until he/she starts to cry again because that toy has outlived its purpose, only to buy them another toy. We want attention and proper taken care of Mr. President if you are a good parent who takes care of his family, why it is hard to so to your country?O' my South Africans we are a disappointment to ourselves for turning blind when approaching a ditch, i wonder how will you save yourself from falling into it? Are we expecting a miracle to save us from the dangers of going to a ditch with closed eyes? Come on open your eyes and save yourselves. That is the best miracle you'll ever have to use your eyes and senses to navigate away from disaster. Which jobs are we fighting for, public or private? Who hired them Afronationals than us, the government or businesses? Did we tell these businesses that we don't approve of them hiring other nationals than us? Did we demand these jobs as any sovereign country citezens should do? Did we demand those we hired through our unions affiliations to bid our interests first and foremost without any compromise to put pressure nationally and to the government to adhere to the sovereign protocols to priority its citezens at all and all cost? Before we continue by accusing our good and working Afronationals on our shores please let us answer these questions to redirect our anger to the real culprits - ourselves for not holding this country government to take the full responsibility of its failed policies and governance from what they stood for pre 1994. To our justice department where is justice when you letting criminals to go off free from your courts even though the people have brought to book those criminals (citezens arrests) and handed them over to the police who then send them to your correctional detection centers (jails)? Oh i forgot to mention that is the meaning of justice to let free. So please don't arrest the community from handing their own street justice to get reed of this rejects human being to recicling.To our Afronationals who are here illegally exploiting our poorly guarded borders and our corrupt run competed law enforcement servicemen who solicit bribery than instill discipline not fear on its citezens and visitors of this sovereign state RSA. You must remember every country has sovereign rules of engagement and like any visitor in another person house you will follow that persons rules and regulations he set for you to follow or he/she will let you off his/her house. Please remember that you are visitors in South Africa behave like wise we were in your countries when you all hosted, fed, educated and trained us militarily to take on our previous terrorist regime against the natives of this country for 400 years compared to our now progressive but confused ren state to date. My brothers and sisters eyes for an eye lives one blind. Consider that you are here because our African ren states has failed you. Today you are called illegal imigrants because you ren away to free yourself from hunger and starvation in your sovereign countries, not because you don't want to be there - but why don't you apply for proper papers to come into SA? You see your illegal status has made you puppets to be employed illegally for illegal wages which promotes cheap labour to the unacceptable levels. My brothers do you see your criminal aquisitions of visas and citezenship has casused the country social service to cheat its citezens better services because they have to share all that budget amongst you and its citezens...... oh i forgot you are now legal citezens illegally by marrying our sisters and mothers who conspired with you because they need money to feed their families - oh my God poverty makes people lose their consciousness by using their subconsciousness, no wonder why they will always be under. Are we (South Africa) a hub for criminality or a criminal university to be used as a starting point for syndicates who are using the poor to do their dirty works? Surely it seems so as Johannesburg has become an institution of crime. Let us respect the sovereignty of our countries my brothers and sisters to eradicate these evil deeds from our shores so that we could enjoy Afrika's creame of good life as it was in our ancient times. Afrika is for all the Afrikans don't we never forget that, but criminals are not allowed here in South Africa because we have our own to deal with please. But that doesn't give us South Africa legal right to kill our own because we are frustrated by them. Lets us together fond solutions than add problems on other problems faced already, or like a pig we will bath ourselves in the mud thinking it will clean us like water would.To the African run governments stop pointing fingers at South Africa as if your countries are better run than us, because if that was the case we wouldn't have more than 2 million displaced Africans in their Continent citing poor governance on their countries. Your people/citezens our Afronationals brothers and sisters many don't want or dream of going back to their birth countries because there is no prospects of good life like there is in SA. All there is to our continent is war, nations against nations for proper reason. We have allowed religions to manipulate and divide us thing which was not even done by our ancestors. We have lost all our love which was the core of UBUNTU. Striking back king Cobra with other snakes will not kill or destroy king cobra but feed it as other snakes to it are relish - so you cannot get back on us by sunctioning us or banning us or chasing away our companies which are bringing Afrika together and contributing to the development to the continent without exploitation of our continent. Stop the wars, corruption, intimidation and exploitation of your oen people in your countries Mr. Presidents, and Africans can no longer have few or no choices across the African borders. Afrika why are you still asleep, Afrika you are a sleeping giant. You awakening means prosperity and good living for our people. Your awakening means no poverty and wars. This is for Afrika by the son of the soilMzukisi Mhlakaza

How brands can reach black consumers
I am flabergasted that this discussion is still taking place, although from what I observe, still so very necessary. I have been entirly ot of the game for ten years and spent a good deal of time overseas, but the best times of my working life were learning under Allan Bunton at Grey, Phiips and the rest back when most readers...well. This challenge was being conquered then by that amazing team...what's gone so wrong?

Education is everyone's responsibility
Why focusing on matric results isn't the solution to SA's education woes
The Via Afika initiative sounds like an exciting intervention. Well done on your initiative. I agree that the dismal reports on Matric pass rates and educational outcomes can be quite disheartening to educators, many of whom are working so hard to improve outcomes. While it is necessary to honestly evaluate the state of Education in the country, evaluations with no action tend to be innocuous over time. Like Via Afrika, IkamvaYouth SA is a big player in the education sector in South Africa, looking to improve the country's skill set, improve Matric results and enable young people to access a dignified living. The organisation's model of after-school peer-to-peer tutoring and mentoring is producing remarkable results. Since our first Matric cohort in 2005, IkamvaYouth's results have been between 82-100% even though we work with learners from under-resourced schools and township communities. Our work is in 5 provinces currently and we're looking to expand, through partnerships with like-minded organisations, individuals and businesses. Ultimately, the country's education is the collective responsibility of every sector of society, so let us all play our part.

Simple tips to maximise Facebook advertising campaigns
Popularity, as the source of statistics, is not needed anymore: Google and Facebook obsolete and must disappear forever.I discovered and patented how to structure any data: Language has its own Internal parsing, indexing and statistics. For instance, there are two sentences:a) ‘Fire!’b) ‘Dismay and anguish were depicted on every countenance; the males turned pale, and the females fainted; Mr. Snodgrass and Mr. Winkle grasped each other by the hand, and gazed at the spot where their leader had gone down, with frenzied eagerness; while Mr. Tupman, by way of rendering the promptest assistance, and at the same time conveying to any persons who might be within hearing, the clearest possible notion of the catastrophe, ran off across the country at his utmost speed, screaming ‘Fire!’ with all his might.’Evidently, that the phrase ‘Fire!’ has different importance into both sentences, in regard to extra information in both. This distinction is reflected as the phrase weights: the first has 1, the second – 0.02; the greater weight signifies stronger emotional ‘acuteness’.First you need to parse obtaining phrases from clauses, for sentences and paragraphs. Next, you calculate Internal statistics, weights; where the weight refers to the frequency that a phrase occurs in relation to other phrases.After that data is indexed by common dictionary, like Merriam, and annotated by subtexts.This is a small sample of the structured data:this - signify - : 333333both - are - once : 333333confusion - signify - : 333321speaking - done - once : 333112speaking - was - both : 333109place - is - in : 250000To see the validity of the technology - pick up any sentence and try yourself. After that try a paragraph?All information will soon be structured and put into database; information is going to search for users based on their profiles of structured data, which cannot be read, used and understood in any way.The Era of Absolute Privacy is coming. No more spying!

Great article. I find creating media partnerships offer exponential returns at a fraction of the cost. Great for SMEs.

Are you an acronymphomaniac?
Thanks Bob. True indeed but 'abbreviomaniac' doesn't have quite the same ring to it. And not fair, made-up abbreviations don't count.

Social media vs email: Guess who wins?
Excellent article Scott. You are basically saying what most people are afraid to say. The stats don't lie, but people and businesses are often forced to ride a wave they don't need to even when it's clear there are no results.Your article is reminiscent of the Y2K bug that drove the entire world insane about nothing and made a lot of people money that they didn't earn. In my view, it's the "cool effect" of being on the bandwagon regardless of knowing better.The thing with technology is that it has to constantly show evolution even when there isn't necessarily any....Windows Vista comes to mind, and more recently, Windows 8. As you correctly pointed out, ICQ and mIRC are the godfathers of social media. I don't have the stats, but what I can say is that these apps were extremely busy and chatrooms were big back in the 90s. They were, as now, more important for social networking rather than business networking. ICQ launched a corporate version of their software, which died in beta mode, but actually worked.In the end, email has stood the test of time in business. I will acknowledge that a lot of money has been invested by business and governments in the social media frenzy. Who wants to look foolish and pull out now, even if it cuts the losses? You look and sound too retro otherwise.Great article Scott, very frank, but you are likely to have rubbed a few people up the wrong way!TC
