1000's of NPO's and NGO's to be impacted by BEE changes.

The real impact of the proposed changes to the BEE codes is that as an NPO, as a project of the churches outreach, we will lose vital corporate and local business support - that means that we won't be able to do the work we do. Who loses ...... the community of Etwatwa, the people who need the help the most. 

And many many other NPOs, NGOs, faith based organisations, care centres, hospices, trauma centres and places of education will be in the same position.

Why cut off one of the only incentives available to the business world?

This cannot be allowed to happen!

See "Paul Janisch"s latest but frank and honest blog post on the proposed BEE changes: 

"... Rob published on the 2^nd of November about prompt payment, you've only got 30 days to comment on this. I suppose that Rob had to publish this now even though he's published a document that will contribute to the genocide of millions of destitute South Africans and cause the ultimate demise of the only hope for any form of equitable representation in our economy."

Don't forget that we have about a month in which to submit our comments to the DTI. Comments can be sent to xzondo@thedti.gov.za or lcmadonsela@thedti.gov.za and they should get there before the 26^th of November, 2012. 

Only ourselves to blame if we do nothing.

Say No to New BEE Changes #No2Bee

The current BEE SED and ED codes have allowed us to get great support for our work both as a community centre with its core being education and personal development in a township called Etwatwa, and in developing micro-entrepreneurs.

Isn't it ironic that Rob's proposed amendments will literally undo and reverse any progress made in terms of EDUCATION, PERSONAL GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT, CARE FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST AND ECONOMIC KNOWLEDGE AND ENTREPRENEURIAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT.

Seems Rob will do his best to destroy real education, development and business growth.

Business investment and ultimately employment creation follows risk based incentive programs - whether those be tax incentives, capital incentives, employment incentives. Companies overseas get great tax incentives for donating into charities - and so foster good socio-economic development and corporate responsibility.

But what is Rob's master plan - not incentives but PENALTIES. How can penalties foster growth and development?

Sorry Rob - you played your trump card and its a joker! Out with Rob and his team of mis-advisors! Time for Rob to say goodbye.
