Now this raises a few eyebrows - is this linked to further corruption at Eskom?

The steam generators at the Koeberg nuclear power station are not affected by possible welding deficiencies being investigated by its French manufacturer.

I was speaking to a guy in the gas industry yesterday and his comment was: "We only focus on the large key accounts (not even called customers!); the small guys must become technologically advanced and order their requirements via the website!!"

Really? Is this how you expect to grow your business? Personal relationships and tactile experiences in the business-to-business sector will still determine where you buy, how much you will buy and from whom.

The big customers demand the lowest prices, whereas the smaller guys give you the opportunity to grow their business at higher margins.

Thanks to a friend Neil who got me a copy of Die Koperkan by Mikro, I have had the most amazing journey back into my youth - reading a set-work book from high school.

Having lived in Cape Town for 20-odd years now, the book hit some serious chords. Having grown up in the privileged environment of Vereeniging, (where the Sharpeville uprising is being commemorated on Human Rights Day, today), I now have a clearer understanding of how far we still have to go to create a country without hatred for our fellow man.

A thought-provoking and exceptional books that was years ahead of its time - first published 60 years ago.

This should still be seen as a high school set-work book, but unfortunately it is no longer in print.
