I don't talk about this one often...

So there I was, a permanent sales assistant in Truworths Daniel Hector...

We had a portal on the intranet that could send questions and ideas directly to Michael Mark the CEO.

I was essentially a disrupter in my employment at the time Hard working I would always try finding better ways of doing things.

Anyway I decided to write to the CEO regarding ideas and issues that plagued our stores, the company in general and opportunities.

I then sent 50 things through that portal, I think it was 50 lol.

South Africans to follow if you wish to get a practical sense of RSA without party politics and propaganda.

I'll admit last night after the news of @PresJGZuma which affected me greatly I was slightly more hopeless in my dreams for RSA than I was hopeful.

But last night I opted to turn to wisdom & picked up @MotsohiThabang book, the unending struggle for relevance. To say that I have been reminded of the "Fit for Purpose" Methodology is an understatement...

@MotsohiThabang in his sequel to the first book "Fit for Purpose" gives a simple & sophisticated blueprint for fixing South Africa as well as demonstrated examples of how outcomes can

A thread in which I will simply say nothing... Just present links, articles and photos...

Please read & retweet...

So I took the liberty to join this spaces on Twitter with the speakers and sought to understand the narratives as put forward by the respective speakers in the session...

Let me be clear that this no attack on GBV or the speakers but a series of observations & questions...

https://twitter.com/ASD_SouthAfrica/status/1431582469938024455

Now before I start you may wonder why would I seek to join an event with speakers I find vehement conflict with.

There are 2 main reasons, one "GBV" as it has come to be known is a serious issue affecting the opportunity for South Africa to be a greater place....

My legal cases now have racked up to around 10 matters.

1. Nedbank MFC (high court)

2. Defend Leave to appeal (high court)

3. Defamation Google review (mag court)

4. FNB loan (awaiting summons)

5. Nedbank credit card (awaiting summons)

6. Labour law (to withdraw) 7. FNB credit card (awaiting summons)

8. Direct axis loan (awaiting summons)

9.FNB covid loan (awaiting summons)

10. FNB cheque acc (awaiting summons)

11. Body Corporate levies (awaiting summons)

12. Contempt of court order (to be lodged against my mother)

My Fellow South Africans... I need your assistance.

Force Majeure is a legal term which I believe will help many South Africans if we can get @OCJ_RSA to rule that @PresidencyZA #lockdown is an event of Force Majeure.

Please retweet & read this thread 🙏 Now this course of defence is an extreme long shot & I will not lie by saying there is reasonable success.

Of the 15+ cases I have seen in court since 2020 all have failed as they did not prove the understanding of Force Majuere.

The basic definition meaning...

In other words... @OCJ_RSA @PresidencyZA...

Pro Bono Org, the authority on Pro Bono representation... Just told me "Good Luck".

Haha oooh so I'm pretty much stuck with representing myself.

And that folks is the legal industry in RSA when you are a middle class citizen So wheres my legal list of dilemmas now?

1. Contempt of Court order to be lodged against my mother. High Court

2. Action against my mother & brother to sell my property share. High Court

3. Defamation case on a Google Review. Magistrates and Constitutional Court

Had a GOOD conversation with @AskGregory and its lead me to believe that there is opportunity for a service may not like that of @khayadlanga who did have good intentions but one that accomplishes the following:

1. Provides info on court rules & processes 2. Provides legal templates for court pleadings, applications & notices

3. Creates a platform for debate of cases between qualified attorneys, professors & students/citizens

4. Provides sponsoring of printing& sheriffs fees for those who cannot afford it.

#TeamDefender @LandRoverZA @LandRover

The new Defender is the stuff of legend, but the list of extras is even more legendary...

I chose the Defender 90 X-Dynamic D300 HSE

With the beautiful Godwana Stone metallic paint to fit its home in Africa

build.landrover/506A6F08 Choosing Accessory packs was near impossible but I settled with the full "Explorer Pack" and opted to keep the cloth roof for those coastal drives...

Wheels were an obvious choice with 20" Gloss Black 6 spokes to fit in with the Range Rovers...

5 seats are always...

The scariest thing I wish they had taught me was financing...

The 1st time I financed a vehicle was 2014, I had a 6k salary & at first the idea was to get a 2010 Polo 1.9 tdi 2 door... Was R79k.

So I show up to the dealer on foot & look at the car, the ask if I can test drive

https://twitter.com/VusiSambo/status/1420563616735145988

The salesman didn't take me seriously but we went, then when we came back I said can we try a finance application.

Ey the way this man judged me when he saw my payslip he was like this guy will never qualify.

So we go in the F&I office & I gotta say all those questions have...

Here's how @PresidencyZA may be able to make vaccine passports legal and in line with the @ConCourtSA.

If they place it before @ParliamentofRSA on the basis that it is in the interest of everyone's constitutional right to life then it can become a law...

Now they wouldn't be... Restricting your right to move freely within the republic of RSA because you do have the choice to travel within the republic

However the constitution says nothing about the freedom to travel outside the country and on that part he can definitely make it mandatory

You have to appreciate the success of @smegsouthafrica in comparison to the South African economy... And I think even @MichaelBucwa may agree with my points...

1. The success & sales of SMEG over the last decade, to many of us the brand is pretty fresh in our minds... Becoming synonymous with a successful lifestyle next to ones car keys to a German vehicle must be a few SMEG appliances in the kitchen with many retailers stocking these R2k kettles that do the exact same thing as a R100 kettle but look way better doing it.

2. In the midst...

#RecordPowerBallJackpot

So of all the crazy ideas that I have on my table at the moment one was really on the fringe

Basically entailed a Non Profit Organisation to deal with one of the greatest threats to both inequality which @PresidencyZA loves & the economy @tito_mboweni What the main mandate of the organisation was meant to achieve is to remove South Africans out of debt through charity.

The basic idea of charity is often that it must be aimed for those less fortunate, but in the last 2000 years that charity has existed very rarely...
