AFTER THE ANGER

BY MZUZUKILE SONI

I’ve been having a conversation with myself about what it would take to normalise the act of buying Black, and to make it less of a production and event. On the 17th September, I listened to a radio caller (an elderly sounding gentle man) saying that as Africans, we must just concede defeat, as we are too far deep into being colonized. He said this to a group of young Brownie mavericks who have given their lives to changing the narrative.

TM

Over a month ago, Adam Catzavelos, yet another racist amongst many that live in our midst, showed his true colours - to what seemed to be to the detriment of his family business (the verdict is still out on that one). Naturally, this sparked outrage in the social media space, and it also led to some Brownies calling for a boycott of restaurants that used the Catzavelos family business as a supplier. Some Joburgers went as far as “replacing” a Catzavelos-owned restaurant with our very own Brownie, Tlhompo Mokoena’s The Wing Republic, which I have no doubt, was welcomed business.

What do we do when the anger dissipates? Recently, a post featuring Tshepo the Jeanmaker’s brand has been doing the rounds on Twitter and Facebook, with some ridiculing the brand name, while others tore the price tag to pieces. Why would it be a problem to be “caught” wearing a “Tshepo” jean, and yet, wearing a non-Brownie’s name is acceptable without question? These are some of the conversations I’ve been having with my peers and myself. My questions to you are, if we are to each do an honest selfaudit, what is the missing link? Do we possess the self-awareness to call ourselves out?

Why must I wait to be angered by a truth that is always there to change my buying patterns? Are we happy to continue funding white supremacy and white privilege by keeping to the norm? Are we really the ones we’ve been waiting for? What kind of people are we?

Let's break bread, and continue this conversation at the BrownSense Market @ The Farm on September 30.

Entrepreneurial Lessons From The Digital Insurance Rockface ADVERTORIAL

Not too long ago, dynamic entrepreneurial duo Nkazi Sokhulu and Tlalane Ntuli gave up comfortable corporate jobs to pursue their business dream of launching Yalu, a new digital insurance provider that makes credit life insurance more affordable, simpler, transparent and rewarding for customers.

Nkazi Sokhulu Tlalane Ntuli

They soon realised that they were embarking on one of the toughest journeys of their lives, in an industry that was simply not ready for the disruption or change Yalu would introduce. They would become the main and very unwelcome protagonists in a story that will rattle the cage of a multi-billion Rand credit life industry that has been content to ride the wave of consumer financial inexperience for far too long.

They soon realised that they were embarking on one of the toughest journeys of their lives, in an industry that was simply not ready for the disruption or change Yalu would introduce. They would become the main and very unwelcome protagonists in a story that will rattle the cage of a multi-billion Rand credit life industry that has been content to ride the wave of consumer financial inexperience for far too long.

Bringing credit life insurance out of the dark The reality is that most consumers with an existing personal loan don’t even realise that they have credit life insurance – a policy that most if not all loan providers will make a condition of extending credit – let alone know what the benefits are, how much it costs, that they have a choice between providers or even when and how to claim.

It’s these consumer realities that Yalu tackles head on by educating consumers about what credit life insurance is, what the benefits are, and that they can and should be paying much less for their cover.

While the mechanics of credit life insurance are not new in the market, Yalu’s approach - transparency, ease of transacting online and the promise of financial relief, which includes a reward at the end of the loan that has thoroughly upset the apple cart in an industry that was simply not ready for change, and certainly not ready for a spotlight to be shone on an industry that has been unfairly monopolised by a few players who have made significant profits at the customer’s expense.

It’s been a wild and exhilarating ride for the two trailblazers, and the digital insurer is making serious headway in an industry where real competition is never truly welcome. Not ones to balk at a challenge, these two have taken up the cudgels on behalf of the South African consumer. CEO Nkazi Sokhulu shares the lessons he's learnt along the way.

BUSINESS

Credibility Deficit: Adrian Gore was 26 when he received R10m from investors to start Discovery. Although I was privileged enough to have been a founder of a life insurance company within one of the largest banks in South Africa, investors were not initially convinced I had the skill and determination to start and run an insurance company.

1

You can't do this alone. Having a partner can be curcial bringing your idea to life and they will bring skills and drive that you simply do not have on your own. Investors also take you more seriously: if you can’t convince another living soul to join you, can they really believe that customers will follow suit?

5

Customers won’t be easy to convince to be early adopters, and competitors will go out of their way to frustrate your efforts to bring change to whatever industry you want to bring change to and rallying people to work for your small outfit will be difficult when you can’t offer the perks of wellestablished businesses.

2

Don't Wait For Money: Figure out what technology platforms and services you need to use to make your dream a success and get agreements in place with those service providers.

3

Legal & Compliance When trying to build your business and product offering, do not skimp on getting sound advice from experts who have experience in your field and who have practical experience of what it involved.

You do not need a perfectly working technology-based beta model before you demonstrate your idea to potential investors Having a well-laid out design on a few pages of the end-to-end customer journey will do just as good a job in demonstrating how your technology platform will work.

Mistakes will happen. Don’t hide them, don’t run away from them. Deal with them in an open and honest way as they come, and learn your lessons from them and avoid making the same mistake again.

Having a purpose that has nothing to do with making money will make it easier to get through the hardship ahead. We would have not progressed in starting Yalu if we didn’t have staff who joined us with no promise of pay for an indefinite period, and if we didn’t have service providers who were willing to help us build, with no guarantee of being paid in full without a purpose they could all get behind.

Distribution, no matter how smart you think your business or product is, remains king. Digitalonly offerings are and will remain limited in reach for a long time in South Africa, so do not be afraid to explore more traditional channels of product or service distribution in your own unique way that still shakes things up.

Entrepreneur's Admin Cheat Sheet

By Norma Tyili

No matter the size of your business, it is important to implement a record keeping system and to main it. Here are some tips to help your business and keeping habits and tips to get into when you start your business.

System implementation Your business does not have to be very large for you to implement systems. Having a record keeping system in place, while your business is at its beginning stages, will put you at an advantage. This may include how to file expenses, quotations, process of paying vendors or suppliers and how to invoice. Any staff hired will follow the process and you will not have gaps in your income and expenditure.

Invest in secure cloud storage Paying for extra storage becomes useful in the long run. Unlike, traditional filing systems, you can control who has access to what type of information. Plus, you can access your information from anywhere.

6

Give your reports names that are easy to remember If you store your information electronically, give files names that are easy to remember and locate. Save your documents in one folder and avoid saving documents to your desktop. Clean up your downloads folder on a regular basis and date all your work when you save it. Always ask yourself is someone was to access information in your absence, would they be able to find it?

Only certify documents when you need them Certified documents are valid for 3 months from the date of certification so don’t waste time certifying more than you need at a time.

Discard useless information You will often find that you have 5 copies of the same document. This is unnecessary and leads to clutter. Take time to throw away brochures you have collected at functions, duplicates of reports and magazines. Documents over 5 years old are probably outdated and should be thrown away.

Spreading Ubuntu Through Play

BY BROWNSENSE TEAM

Husband and wife co-founders of Toys With Roots Thabo and Mpumi Motsabi are walking with a sense of accomplishment lately, as their three-year business journey bears fruit. Their business was founded in 2015 after they started selling the popular Ntombenhle dolls, upon which they realised that there was a serious gap in the local market for toys that Brownie children can see themselves through. They soon expanded their distribution offering to include other toys, including their own

7

Lali doll, a multi-lingual 10 year old who loves singing. While they initially envisioned Toys With Roots as the much-needed competition to larger, multinational toy shops, they realised that they could use those same stores to distribute the toys and gain a larger footprint across the country, and have since seen distribution to nine different malls in South Africa, including high end tourist and shopping destinations such as the V&A in

Cape Town and Sandton City in Johannesburg. Lali was created in 2016, and she is a labour of love for the couple. Like many Brownies, they were in a position of being forced to manufacture in China, and wished to give Lali an African identity. The BrownSense Market, at which they had been vendors for over a year already, provided them with a platform to meet African designers. They discovered great synergies with fellow vendor Millicent Awino, founder and

...it must be a child that grows up exposed to Toys With Roots believes in the best of himself and his fellow man. designer at AfroFrocs, who agreed to design and manufacture an Afro printinfluenced clothing range for Lali. Through such collaboration, the team aims to create more value for Toys With Roots, customers and their collaborators.

Since starting out, they’ve experienced the ups and downs of being in business – including the high of selling units and the social media popularity, and the tapering off of sales thereof.

Through hard work, and a focus on marketing and increasing sales, they raised enough money to create a Lali mascot – who has been great entertainment for the children at the BrownSense Market, and makes appearances at kiddie parties to sing and dance with party-goers.

They have remained focused in their goals, and now, Toys With Roots is in launch-mode for their CD, which will change all our road trip soundtracks for years to come. Songs With Lali, an anthology of twenty-seven popular sing-along songs in various South African indigenous languages such as Bana Ba Sekolo, and Izinyoni, as well as original songs such as Grateful List and Ngimuhle, a song of affirmation for children from all backgrounds.

Thabo and Mpumi are hopeful that the CD will change the way African children see themselves, “we want African children to see themselves running the world and its economy from early childhood,” the couple explains that even Ubuntu should be key to their interaction with their company, “it must be a child that grows up exposed to Toys With Roots believes in the best of himself and his fellow man”.

Pull through to the BrownSense Market in Midrand to meet the Toys With Roots team and jam to Lali at the BrownSense Market 30 September 2018 @ 44 Allen Rd Glen Austin.

only 15% of children in South Africa are strapped in is a frightening reality.

Buckle Up, Baby!

BY THABITHA DOLAMO

A quick drive with your unrestrained child to the local supermarket can unfortunately result into your child dying in your arms. Even travelling at a slow 40km per hour, the blow to your child’s head on impact with a windscreen in the event of an accident, or any other part of the car, can be fatal. The common practice of having a seatbelt over you and your child sitting on your lap is no safer. The force against their small body on impact is equivalent to 1,500kg of weight being put on their body. Seventy-five per cent of children ejected from a car during an accident will not survive, whilst the majority of those that do survive could be permanently disabled. In light of this information, the fact that AA studies show that

11

According to the National Road Traffic Act, all children under the age of 3 years must be to be strapped into a safety certified seat, and the driver is legally responsible for any child under the age of 14 not using a seatbelt in their car. installed car seats can reduce the risk of deaths in infants by 70% and by 50% in kids aged from 1 year to 4 years old.

It is very important that parents buy and use car seats according to the height and weight limits for each seat. Rear facing seats are recommended as they evenly distribute the force of any impact across the entire back and head of the infant. For this reason, toddlers should be seated in a rear-facing seat until they outgrow the height and weight recommendation. Children under 25kgs should use a booster seat until they are 1,5m tall or taller, as this positions the safety belt safely over the body, protecting the vulnerable neck and abdomen areas during impact.

DON'T STRESS...

Ask Dr. Mabena!

Q: My son is 17 months old, and he keeps ripping his nappy off his bottom. Is it time for me to potty train? Where should I start?

Q: I want to feed my 10 month old son wholesome food, and I wonder whether mabele is a healthier alternative to pap?

A: Children become ready to be potty trained at different ages, and most children should be potty trained by 3 years of age. In many rural communities where nappies are not often used, children tend to be potty trained early, even as early as 17 months, because they spend a lot of time without nappies and they quickly learn to say when they are about to do a number 1 or 2! It helps to watch for signs of readiness, for example, taking off a nappy just before urinating or passing a stool, or indicating that they are about to go whether by using  baby language or signs. Nursery schools tend to use routine to potty train, that is, going to the toilet at set times and sitting on the toilet until they pee or poo... and repeating this until it becomes a learnt behaviour. Happy training!

A: It is important that we feed all our children a wholesome diet, and that means it has to include different food groups to ensure they get all the required nutrients as well as vitamins and minerals. While mabele and pap are both a source of carbohydrates (starches), mabele is a more complex, less refined starch than pap, thus making it "better" than pap. However, more important than which type of starch to choose for baby would be to ensure that baby gets a variety of foods. This includes proteins, which babies usually derive from breastmilk or formula milk. Additionally, their diets should also include a variety of fats, vitamins and minerals from beans, vegetables and fruit. Enjoy feeding baby a variety of healthy foods!

13

DON' T STRESS. . .

Ask Dr. Mabena!

Q: I am 7 months pregnant and I’m really anxious about vaccinations, as I have read that they have really bad ingredients in them. Are they really necessary and is my child in danger if I don’t vaccinate?

Q: My mother-in-law is insisting that I use gripe water for my daughter’s colic, but I hear many people saying it’s bad for babies.

Is it really, and what is the alternative I can use?

Answer: Vaccinations have prevented many deaths since they were invented and they are safe and important to give to protect our babies. We hardly see a lot of the vaccine preventable diseases anymore (eg. polio), and this is a good thing, but because people do not see these illnesses anymore they think it is okay to not give vaccines anymore.

This is not true, and if enough people do not vaccinate their babies, all those illnesses will come back again.

A: Gripe water is bad for babies because it contains a lot of sodium and also alcohol.

There are now non alcohol containing gripe water products but these still contain a lot of sodium and this can lead to too much sodium in the baby, what we call hypernatraemia, and this can be harmful to the brain and lead to baby having seizures (fits).

I have attached a very comprehensive book on vaccinations for parents that I urge all parents to read. It is produced for parents by the national institute of communicable diseases (NICD - we often hear from them in the news when there is an outbreak of a disease in our country).

The book explains each of the vaccines our children receive and it has a frequently asked questions section. Please do read it.

Information is power. You can click anywhere on this page to download the document. Vaccines save lives!

Colic is a condition that unfortunately doesn't have a cure. We have used many different remedies to try and alleviate it but the truth is babies do outgrow it usually by the time they are 6 months old. It is however important to get a baby examined by a doctor to exclude serious illnesses and only then can a diagnosis of colic be made. So, a mother should not be deciding a baby has colic until after they have been examined and illness has been excluded.

Once we are sure baby has colic, burping baby well after feeds and giving baby soothing baby massages are some things that have worked well for some colicky babies.

Goodluck!

TRAVEL

DESTINATION: GREAT ZIMBABWE

BY PHAKA HLAZO

I came to learn of Great Zimbabwe during my postgraduate studies several years ago. It seemed like a mystical place that existed centuries ago, with seemingly wild tales of an advanced African civilisation. It did not occur to me that the ruins of this African empire may exist, or that they could be the largest on the continent, after the pyramids in Egypt, or even that these ruins could in actual fact be just across the border!

I discovered this as I planned our annual 5 country tour, when the length of time on the road on the return leg from Malawi necessitated an extra night in Zimbabwe, and the closest town I could find with accommodation was Masvingo. You can imagine my elation when I discovered that this little town is a mere 27kms from the ruins of Great Zimbabwe. I absolutely could not believe it, this chance discovery led to one of the highlights of the entire trip, an almost spiritual experience for me as a staunch believer in the inherent greatness of the African. It was a homecoming!

"AS CONSCIOUS YOUNG AFRICANS STARTING A FAMILY, WE HAVE BECOME SO AWARE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF TRAVELING THE CONTINENT AS A VEHICLE TO NOT ONLY GET TO KNOW OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES, BUT AS A MEANS TO LEARN OUR COLLECTIVE HISTORIES." The site is an impressive 772 hectares, with granite walls as high as 11 meters in some places – the architectural feat which for 400 years had white archeologists denying that an African civilisation built and occupied the site, the stones are laid on each other with absolute precision, and with no evidence of the use of mortar, it is a highly sophisticated method of building.

The earliest of these structures are traced as far back at the 9th century. The walls are impressive, however, my eureka moment was the museum – the gold jewellery that the people of Great Zimbabwe made and traded with the Portuguese and Chinese via the Mozambican coastline. No longer did I have to suffer the ignorant, “you people didn’t even know the value of the minerals on this land” often stated by whites as fact. “Us people” were trading porcelain, cloth and glass in exchange for gold and ivory way before 1652, like, hundreds of years before!

33 | TRIPMAG.COM

We’re pregnant with our first son and as avid travelers, we’re already planning all of the weird and wonderful places we intend to visit with him. As conscious young Africans starting a family, we have become so aware of the importance of traveling the continent as a vehicle to not only get to know other African countries, but as a means to learn our collective histories. History books would have us believe that Europeans are the bringers of civility to Africans, who, prior to their arrival lived exclusively in mud huts, with no laws, no understanding of architecture, mathematics, science, or the usefulness of the minerals that so abound on the continent.

"Move over Leaning Tower of Pisa – what does that have to do with me again?!"

No seriously, next time you’re planning a family holiday, before considering Italy or Greece, check out Great Zimbabwe, a guaranteed profound experience, especially for families with kids.

Great Zimbabwe Cheat Sheet: Pay the extra few dollars to get a guide to take you across the site, it is absolutely worthwhile. Not only are you gaining more insightful knowledge and rich experience, you're also #circulatingtherand Read Zakes Mda’s, “The Scupltors of Mapungubwe” and visit Mapungubwe National Park on the same trip. Mda’s imagery of a vibrant precolonial African society, mining gold, sculpting gorgeous artefacts and trading with other peoples is powerfully brought to life when you visit Great Zimbabwe just 2 hours away.

Make sure to get your police clearance done before you leave SA, Great Zimbabwe is literally just across the border but the necessary documentation is still required.

Plan a day for the visit to Great Zimbabwe so that you have sufficient time to see the entire site. This day trip can also be done comfortably from South Africa's Mapungubwe National Park in Limpopo.

How To Start Your Natural Hair Routine

By Phumulo Ngoma

We understand: natural hair can often be overwhelming. What products should I use? How do I restore my hairline? The best way to avoid being overwhelmed is to develop an easy routine that you can always fall back on. Keep it low maintenance so that it’s easy to follow. Whether you’re an experienced naturalista, just starting out, transitioning or rock your crown relaxed, these quick and easy tips can help you in establishing your healthy hair routine.

CREATE A DAILY MOISTURIZING PLAN Without it, your hair might be growing at the root, but will If there’s one thing we all need to

break off at the ends. Moisture helps combat dryness and

remember, it’s that curly and coily hair keeps your hair healthy. Spray your hair in the morning or thrives on moisture.

evening with your daily spritz or even with a little water.

If your hair is in a protective style, it’s often easy to forget that it needs extra moisture.

TRY THE LOC METHOD The LOC or LCO method is the ultimate lifesaver for curly and coily hair. LOC/ LCO stands for Liquid/ Leave-in conditioner, Oil and Cream. The LOC method is curl talk for a 3-step deep conditioning treatment. Once you’ve sprayed your hair with water or your leave-in, you need to seal that moisture in with a heavy cream like shea butter. Now, you need to seal the deal with your favourite oil. Oils help to seal in hydration and contain essential nutrients to strengthen and repair your hair.

QUICK TIP: For hair that is prone to build up or feels weighed down by heavier oils like castor oil, try using lighter oils like avocado, jojoba or grapeseed oil. Make sure that you thoroughly work the product into your hair, so that it penetrates the hair shaft. Wrap your hair in a shower cap for 30 minutes to intensify the process. You can either wash it out or leave your hair to air dry.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I DO THE LOC/LCO METHOD? Try to do the LOC method once a week or before wash day. You can do the LOC method before you wash your hair and after for extra conditioning.

Why not try a light version before you wash your hair, and the full version after? Before long, you’ll start seeing the incredible benefits of soft, well-moisturized hair.

Now it’s your turn. Remember this is your hair routine. Have fun, experiment and see what your hair best responds to.

Don’t create a complicated hair routine that will become an additional stress. Choose a simple routine that you can stick to and your hair will definitely thank you for it.
