A weak Rand benefits me as an individual

I've been tip-toeing around this issue because it is a double-edged sword for me. A weak Rand benefits me as an individual but, unfortunately, disadvantages all the industries I'm involved in. A more objective and long-term approach would be this (bear in mind this is from my experiences more than anything else) :

 

1. A weak Rand affects manufacturing negatively in this country and is even worse on the exports. In the long run, this will collapse the industry, and unemployment will explode once our net imports increase beyond an inevitable point. This is not good for anyone, so we stand on shaky ground.

 

2. Persistent load-shedding is also incredibly bad for the economy and much worse for the manufacturing industry. Take this, for instance. In the glue and paint industry, it takes approximately 2hrs to switch all machines on and be ready for production. It takes 2hrs to switch off and clean the same machines. If you have 11 to 15hrs of load-shedding, when do you produce anything? The cost of running production off diesel is incredibly huge. So yes, load-shedding is killing our industry.

 

3. The sale of arms to Russia is a red herring. This coming from a country that is arming Ukraine and trying to expand the reach of NATO is a non-starter. However, we need to keep trying to please the masters; the question is, which one? We are aligned with the US through trade agreements like the AGOA but also with China and Russia through BRICS. China and Russia have already signed a pact to trade in Yuan and Oil. They have already formed a trading platform away from the swift international model. While the Dollar might rise in the short term, BRICS is already attracting other African countries, the Middle East and parts of South America. It is starring a potential danger of losing international relevance in the long term.

 

So yes, we need to have a plan in place to deal with the country's load-shedding and the energy crisis ( coal-generated electricity is not the only problem). We need to do that fast. But not at the behest of our oppressors but for our progress. The US will never leave South Africa; they are too highly invested through Amplats, Implats and other Anglo-American investments. They never left Zim though they sanctioned it, and they are still syphoning money out of that country. We just need to be smart in our approach.

Touch

 

Napoleon Hill wrote, “Do you take the time to stay in touch, to remember friends’ special occasions? When you become so consumed with your own interests that you forget about your friends, you are well on your way to becoming friendless.” 

 

In this podcast, in the Diary of a CEO show, Professor Keltner discusses the incredible power of touch and the devastating impacts of living without it.

T D Jakes says, “Transitions are not easy”. He says, “Don't take office if u can't deliver! Don't sign up! We don't want people occupying offices and not delivering! Don't take the job if you don't want it! Don't start a business if you are not going to work on it! Don't volunteer if you are not going to show up! Don't sign up! Be present and be connected! Don't take the title if you are not going to work! Don't join the choir if you are not going to sing! Don't be a mother or father if you can't be connected to your child!”

 

Have a beautiful weekend, Wowos!

Dream Killers

 

Are you a dream killer? 

 

Do you often tell people that their dreams won’t be successful? Or do you keep your doors closed when they approach you for help or advice? Do you do this because you, yourself, don’t have dreams of your own? 

 

Don’t do that! Have faith in others and be good.

Commitment

 

 

Commitment

 

Are you committed, Wowos? Are you committed to your calling in this world? Are you committed at work, in your business or at home? 

 

In this recording, T D Jakes, my favourite Bishop, tells us that we must be committed. Yes, committed and not half committed. Please Listen here: https://youtu.be/4zuVmjmXjOY. It was Robin Sharma who wrote: 

 

“Ideas are worth nothing unless backed by application. The smallest of implementations is always worth more than the grandest of intentions. And if being an amazing person and developing a legendary life was easy, everyone would be doing it” 

 

I wish you a wonderful week ahead, and may you all be committed this week, Wowos.

who do you say I Am?

 

Morning Wowos ❤️


As I was having some quiet time this morning, the Lord asked me, who do you say I Am? In as much as I/ or we all can quickly jump and answer this, I took a moment to let this question sink in. In Matthew 16:15-18, Peter confess that Jesus is the Christ! The Son of the living God! But Who is Jesus to you? Let's reflect on this as we start our day.

What you are scared of is not a problem

 

Did you know what you are scared of is not a problem? Gary Ryan Blair wrote: 

 

We all live a life of close calls, belly flops, and missed

opportunities. The truth is we're all cowards, some are just bigger

cowards than others. Your persistence in the face of failure and set

back is a measure of your belief in yourself and your goal.

 

William Shakespeare stated, “Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we often might win, by fearing to attempt.” 

 

Listen to this recording: https://youtu.be/mLchFXmLtdM. If you want to understand how to live without fear, please listen to this recording: https://youtu.be/ztv2nxgtbeY. You will learn how to attack that fear in your head. 

 

Have a great day, Wowos. It takes courage to do this!

Quarter 1, 2023 at Wowos Club

 

Wowos, have you thought about your primary purpose in life? Have you lived your life on this earth? What do you give back to the people of this world? Do you take your commitment seriously? If you had to measure yourself, what would you score yourself out of 10?

 

We are looking for committed members at Wowos Club as we enter Quarter 2 (Q2) of this year. Those willing to wake up at 5 am, do the three pockets, sleep on the floor at least once a month and be ready to help other Wowos. Above all, we are looking for relentless members, willing to work hard and committed to self-development and family building. If you are ready to do any of these, please 🙏🏾 let me know or click like here. 

 

Wowos, jokes aside, we are not looking for half-committed members. We want you to let go of certain negative behaviours and attitudes. We need your physical and mental strength in Q2. Take a listen to these recordings: https://youtu.be/18kqWgc6BE0; https://youtu.be/ahEH-D-d62g, and https://youtu.be/0TJICIBLxm8.

Wowos Conversation

I listened to Wowos Conversation earlier, and they discussed the restoration of political and government structures. I found the conversation very interesting, and it got me thinking about one of the biggest challenges we face: the broken family system.

You spoke about the importance of trust, but I believe that trust starts in the family and then extends to the community and society. If husbands and wives, brothers and sisters, and even friends cannot trust each other, how can we expect to build trust with strangers?

The problems we face in Africa are complex and multifaceted, but I'm glad we have platforms and initiatives working to restore trust and rebuild families. My passion lies in mental health, women's issues, and rebuilding family units through authentic and healthy marriages.

I believe that by prioritizing mental health and promoting healthy relationships within families, we can address some of the deeper issues contributing to the breakdown of trust and social structures. It's a long-term process, but one that I believe is worth pursuing.

Well done to the founder. You've created a beautiful platform for us to engage.

Don't Quit

 

 

Tell them you are not going to quit. I am unsure who this message is for, but tell them you will not quit. They think you are down. They think you are finished. Tell them the Founder of Wowos Club said, “I am not quitting”. Listen to this recording: https://youtu.be/ct6edmd1F24. 

 

Victory is around the corner; Wowos! Don't quit! We are making a comeback. We have waited for this for far too long. Yes, we were down, but we are not out! Yes, there were up and downs, but we are not quitting! As Vatiswa always say, “Repeat after me” We are not quitting. 

 

Strength to you all. Good night.
