@ tec - cheers..
PS: is the R300K workshop per person or per group of.. say 10 and what is the duration of this workshop? If per person, what the hell are they learning? Rocket Science?

On a bright & positive note:
Adrianh, Justloadit & HR Solutions, I don't need to tell you but I am going to anyway... You can be so proud of your children the amazing job you all did in their upbringing! I so agree that it is all about upbringing. My mother me taught very early about self sufficiency. One her favourite sayings "A man must be in your life because you want him, not because you need him" My husband laughs at this as he reckons he wasn't taught anything similar because he needs me...

But moving along, we basically all agree that solutions start:

BY GETTING OFF YOUR COLLECTIVE ASSES, TAKING RESPONSIBILY FOR YOUR OWN LIVES AND REALIZING THAT THE WORLD OWES YOU NOTHING WHATSOEVER.

I think it is a psychological issue, "I hate the millionaire because he has got money and I have none", the fact that I stayed in bed and was lazy most days has nothing to do with the fact that I have nothing to my name.

I have been told a number of times, that I am 'Lucky' to have what I have, and that I was 'born with a silver spoon feeding me' or the other phrase "landed in a tub of butter".
Firstly, I created my own luck, but have lost a lot during the earning of luck, called school fees, and
secondly, the only spoon feeding me after I was born, bless my mother that she always made sure I had food to eat, was a wooden spoon made by my father for the first few years of my life.

I teach my girls exactly that.

Havent got time to read through this whole thread. As i am sure some of you would have noticed i have been a little quite of late.I have been really busy. The more time i spend on site the more work keeps pouring in, just turned down a million bucks worth of work, just not enough resources and my hobbies have taken off in fact to a point it is time to move to the next level. Simply solution employ more people...no thanks. The project i have just completed should have had at least 3 teams on site, in fact if the strike didnt stall the progress i would not have completed on time, so thanks to the strike i managed to finish by the time the striker returned, so the strikes are not all bad

You are right! Power vests in those who control the money!

Hi Fanie

Before I get into the business end of this email, the useful housekeeping stuff is at the bottom of the email. It might prove useful, especially if you haven't visited for a while or even forgot you ever joined The Forum SA as a member!

==In this issue:==
It is not often that I have to admit defeat, but it is clear this time I am beaten.

In my last message to the entire TFSA membership, I was really hoping to prompt a suggestion on how to break the vicious cycle our labour relations has fallen into.

The response was overwhelming - but the bad news is all I managed to achieve was clear signal that the problem is real, and it's not going to go away.
In fact, it's likely to get worse.

It is going to get a LOT worse. The problem is an Afrikaner created one, and the solution is one that everyone who benefits from someone else's land doesn't want to admit to.

Restore the Boer Republics to the Boervolk as well as the others who are the rightfull land owners ie the Zulu's etc.

In case you do not know this, international Law that was instated in 1898 specify that no country may be occupied by others, not even through warfare, which was acknowledged by Britain as well.

This means that the Boer Republics were supposed to be given back to the Boervolk in 1907, which never happened. Through fraud the British set up the Union and appointed the Cape Dutch Afrikaner to suppress the Boervolk with force so they will never get their land back, the genocide that was carried out on the Boervolk in the concentration camps hence continue to this day where the Afrikaner broederbonders gets paid by the British "Crown" to prevent the Boervolk from getting their land back and attempt to destroy anything Boer - so that the "Crown" can continue their plundering of the Boer resources.

And before you get carried away by your Afrikaner "identity" - the word Afrikaner was derived from the Dutch word "Africaander" which simply means you were born in Africa, hence blacks are also Afrikaners. The word today may be associated with "whites", but is no indication of any identity, and it was never recognized internationally to identify a specific group of people. So the term "Afrikaner" remains a general term.

You can scream and shout and throw any tantrum you like, but if you plot the future of SA you can see where you are going to. You cannot expect fraud to elevate conditions by inducing more fraud, so you will eventually be responsible for your own demise - or this discussion would not take place.


The only solution to this systematic degradation of everything in SA will be to restore the Boer Republics to the Boervolk.

This is going to solve our strike and labour relations problem?

Kinda wondering if perhaps you posted in the wrong thread.
