  • Which Is the Largest Manufacturer of Defence Equipment in South Africa and Operates in the Military Aerospace and Landward Defence Environment
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY DENEL Denel is a state-owned company (SOC), which is the largest manufacturer of defence equipment in South Africa and operates in the military aerospace and landward defence environment. Denel is an important defence contractor in the domestic market and a key supplier to the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) both as original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and for the overhaul, maintenance, repair, refurbishment and upgrade of equipment in the SANDF’s arsenal. Denel reports to the Minister of Public Enterprises who appoints an independent board of directors to oversee an executive management team, managing the day-to-day operations. The executive management team also manages several business divisions and associated companies, including Denel Aeronautics, Denel Maritime, Pretoria Metal Pressings, Denel Dynamics, Denel Land Systems, Denel Vehicle Systems (Pty) Ltd and Denel Aerostructures SOC Ltd. With the release of the #Guptaleaks in May 2017, the actions and good governance of the board of directors were brought into question, not only because of the Denel-Asia deal, but also because of the relationships between key decision makers and the Gupta family. OUTA explores the capturing of Denel in this submission and provides supporting evidence. Before July 2015, Denel was led by a board of directors chaired by Riaz Saloojee. This board’s direction resulted in a series of profitable years as set out in the second issue of a 2015 Denel- issued communique. Denel had good prospects for its future and an order book of more than R35 billion and the group CFO Fikile Mhlonto was nominated as Public CFO of the year.

  • CASE STUDY the Delivery of the First Phase of the Two New Universities
    CASE STUDY The delivery of the first phase of the two new universities: Ronald Watermeyer, DEng (Witwatersrand), BScEng, Hon.FSAICE, FIStructE, FICE, FSAAE, PrEng, CEng, PrCM, PrCPM Director, Infrastructure Options Pty Ltd, Randburg, South Africa; Visiting Adjunct Professor, School of Construction Economics and Management, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa Introduction The process for establishing the new universities was initiated when the Minister of Higher Education and Training (DHET) appointed two task teams in 2010 to investigate the feasibility and possible models for the establishment of universities in the Mpumalanga and the Northern Cape Provinces. Following extensive consultation with stakeholders in these two provinces, the task teams submitted their reports to the Minister in September 2011, and subsequently to the Council on Higher Education (CHE) for their advice. The Minister of Higher Education decided to proceed with both universities in the conviction that universities are essentially national institutions and that a university in the Northern Cape would attract students from across the country and not only from the school system in the Northern Cape (NUPMT, 2018) In 2007, stimulated by government infrastructure funding, the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) embarked upon its first major capital expansion programme in over 20 years. Initially a traditional master-servant approach was pursued, which led to significant cost overruns, the full extent of which was only known months after completion. The client team decided to explore an alternative approach to delivering infrastructure based on long-term, collaborative relationships and early contractor involvement, underpinned by the NEC3 family of contracts. This approach produced a consistently reliable time and cost outcome over the R1,5b infrastructure programme (Laryea and Watermeyer, 2014).

My Heavenly Father who gave me strength. i ABSTRACT The competition for quality students has become a marketing challenge for universities which has led to the implementation of different student recruitment practices. Fierce competition between Higher Education Institutions in South Africa, increased government pressure to transform and declining government subsidies have forced Universities to increase the number of students as a means of increasing their income.

  • Lewis Pugh Endurance Swimmer and Ocean Advocate
    LEWIS PUGH ENDURANCE SWIMMER AND OCEAN ADVOCATE His stories and hard-learned lessons put into the context of a corporate environment; relevant, inspirational and actionable LEWIS PUGH his story Lewis goes to extremes He’s been to the world’s most inaccessible places. He’s put his body through unimaginably difficult conditions. He’s learned how to harness the energy that comes from overcoming extraordinary odds. And he knows how to inspire audiences to rise to their own internal challenges. His talks make a difference, to individuals, and to organizations. As an endurance swimmer and ocean advocate, Lewis puts his hard- learned lessons into the context of a corporate environment. He shares the visualization that enabled him to undertake the first swim across the sub-zero waters of the North Pole. Lewis is the only person to have completed a long distance swim in every ocean of the world and in each of the Seven Seas: the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Aegean, Black, Red, Arabian and North Sea. LEWIS PUGH ‘Speedo Diplomacy’ He has frequently swum across vulnerable ecosystems to draw attention to their plight. He is the only person to have completed a long distance swim in every ocean of the world, and has pioneered more swims around famous landmarks than any other swimmer in history. 2007: he undertook a long distance swim across an open patch of sea at the North Pole, equipped just in a Speedo swimming costume, to highlight the melting of the Arctic sea ice. He followed this up with a swim across a glacial lake on Mt Everest to draw attention to the melting glaciers in the Himalayas.

  • The Southern Ocean—Where Sport, Diplomacy, and Marine Protected Areas Meet
    After the Fact | Bonus Episode: Event Rebroadcast: The Southern Ocean—Where Sport, Diplomacy, and Marine Protected Areas Meet Originally aired June 15, 2018 Total runtime: 00:41:40 TRANSCRIPT [Music] Dan LeDuc, host: Antarctica is the coldest, windiest, and most pristine place on Earth. While many of us may never travel to that far-off continent, millions of whales, seals, and penguins live there in the Ross Sea. In fact, here’s a data point for you: more than 9,000 species that can’t be found anywhere else in the world call it home. I’m Dan LeDuc and this is “After the Fact,” from The Pew Charitable Trusts. In this episode you’re going to learn a lot more about this distant, harsh—but also entrancing—place. Just over a year ago, 24 countries and the European Union made history by creating the world’s largest marine protected area in the Ross Sea, through the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources. That’s also known as CCAMLR. This decision safeguarded more than one and a half million square kilometers. That’s a half million square miles—an area bigger than Alaska. But that was just the beginning. The Southern Ocean, the southernmost waters on the planet, is even bigger. It’s also one of the fastest-warming places on Earth, and increasingly vulnerable to commercial fishing and pollution. To guard against these threats requires international cooperation. So Pew recently brought together leaders and advocates who played a vital role in bringing about the Ross Sea’s protections to discuss what’s next for this important region of the globe.

Print copies of this book as well as e-Book versions available for online ordering from the African Books Collective and Amazon.com. © NISC (Pty) Ltd WRECKING BALL Why permanent technological unemployment, a predictable pandemic and other wicked problems will end South Africa’s experiment in inclusive democracy Wrecking Ball explores, in an unprecedented manner, a decalogue of wicked problems that confronts humanity: Nuclear proliferation, climate change, pandemics, permanent technological unemployment, Orwellian public and private surveillance, social media that distorts reality, cyberwarfare, the fragmentation of democracies, the inability of nations to cabin private power, the failure of multinational institutions to promote collaboration and the deepening of autocratic rule in countries that have never known anything but extractive institutions. Collectively, or even severally, these wicked problems constitute crises that could end civilisation. Does this list frighten you, or do you blithely assume that tomorrow will be just like yesterday? Wrecking Ball shows that without an inclusive system of global governance, the collective action required to solve those wicked problems falls beyond the remit of the world’s 20 inclusive democracies, 50 flawed democracies and 130 extractive, elitist autocracies.
