    Vodacom's BBBEE initiative, Murdock.

    It is actually a pretty fine example of how a company can satisfy the ownership requirements of BEE legislation without giving too much away. And there are some pretty extensive strings attached to that share offering.

    I watched an interesting program on the popularity of the SUV the other day. They were trying to identify exactly why these vehicles are so popular. And the answer: The height of the seated position and bulk of the vehicle gives the driver a sense of superiority and invulnerability!

    Pretty good therapy for a fragile ego, huh?

    I am for these kind of BEE deals, at least joe soap in the street has a chance of making a couple of bucks as opposed to just a few.

    If I remember correctly, it's a minimum of 5 years to pay day, though.

    But I've got to agree with you - Cyril Ramaphosa & co don't need any more help riding the BEE train.
