New Business Opportunity

The idea came to me when I had to renew my motor vehicle license, and not being one to stand around waiting in queues, I decided to get the job done through one of the service providers that have people who stand in queues to process your license renewal.  At the same time there was a protest march in the centre of the city and it struck me.  Maybe here is the perfect opportunity for a new business.  One that would not only create jobs, but also provide a protesters with the numbers they need to become much more effective.  I call it "Strike for you!" and it provides various options and services to facilitate the strike/protest action and provides both individual and union, NGO and crowd services.

For a fee an individual can hire a Casual Striker or alternatively by pooling the resources of friends, family and or colleagues one or more Casual Strikers who would represent the individual(s) in the strike.  Casual Strikers will be outfitted appropriately with a loud hailer and or vuvuzela to ensure the message is heard.  They have all the skills to effectively participate in the strike/protest and have been trained to deliver all slogans, songs and other phrases of protest at the top of their voices.  All are skilled in the latest toy-toy moves.

Another option open to individuals is the Proxy Striker.  Here for a nominal monthly fee one can be represented at any strike/protest taking place or alternatively can select the type of strike/protest in which participation is required.  The ultimate option extends the participation to any gathering and also provides the individual with total digital photographic coverage of the entire event.

Union, NGO and other organisations can hire a crowd to ensure there the success of their campaign.  This ranges from the simple hire a crowd, in increments of 1 000 Casual Strikers  with tiered discounts for amounts over 3 000 Casual Strikers.  In addition to this Marshalling services are also provided to ensure the safety of all.  For those organisations that wish to embark on a long running campaign we provide Casual Strikers in increments of 3 months and includes planning services for crowd distribution at strategic places to ensure maximum visibility and includes the appropriate dress, placards and other striking essentials in a single package option.

Memorandum Writing and Delivery service.  One of the areas that is surely lacking in protests is the ability to provide an adequate memorandum to officials.  By taking up this option a memorandum, of not less than 200+ pages, will be produced and delivered on the day of the strike or protest to the appropriate officials.  The document will be worded with the appropriate audience in mind to ensure the message is driven home effectively.

Any interested potential investors :-)

A Friend Indeed - The Second Leg

I am happy and sad at the same time.  Happy, because I had strengthened the bond that binds us and sad because I had had to leave home for the next stage of my journey, and it is never easy to take leave from the love and warmth of home, but go I must. Back on the paved road I head towards Springbok and after refueling the car, on towards Cape Town.  The road winding its way through the mountains.  Kamieskroon, Garies, Verhynsdorp, Klawer, Clan William, Citrusdal, Piketberg and Moorreesburg, towns seemingly forgotten along the way, before the familiar Malmesbury and Cape Town. A distance of some six hundred kilometres. Mouille Point, Cape Town.  A fresh wind blows across the parking lot.  The smell of the ocean assaults my senses.  The apartment is modern and tastefully furnished but it is the balcony which becomes my haven.  An early morning cup of coffee overlooking the most stunning of beach fronts is very hard to beat. A trip to Franschoek wi...

A Surprise...

Although I have been surprised on many occasions in my life, very few have left an impression on me. There are even fewer where i can admit that i have been at a complete loss for words. On Wednesday I was surprised, pleasantly I might add, but to such an extent that I was, for a significant amount of time, at a complete loss for words. A friend of mine, that I had not seen in the last thirty years, and I arranged to meet at Sandton City for a cup of coffee.  Walking through Nelson Mandela Square, i could not help but notice, that all the restaurants were filled with tourists from all over the globe who had come to our beautiful country to share in the World Cup experience.  The chatter of people in various tongues contributed to the cosmopolitan atmosphere that prevailed in the square. We made our way to a coffee shop and proceeded to catch up on the last thirty years.  It was fascinating listening and chatting about how our lives had turned out.  It occurred to...

To Belong....

Being a member of the human race, it is only natural to want to belong.  It is, I guess, a natural instinct that we, as social creatures, are born with.  This instinct is so strong in us, that we often assume some definition of what we should be in order to have a sense of belonging. The right of passage rituals that are prevalent in so many cultures, epitomizes this instinct to belong. When an adolescent is asked to participate in a right of passage ritual, it marks the end of childhood and the beginning of adulthood.  These rituals serve to create a bond, through the common shared experience, that entrenches the sense of belonging for a lifetime. Religion does exactly the same and the binding force behind religion is a common belief system.  Religions go a bit further as they often dictate a certain code of conduct, behavior and dress code that should be followed.  This further strengthens the sense of belonging. Race, country of origin, clubs, social ci...
