Global media initiative launches With the start of the training programme in Johannesburg, it will have been active in 11 global cities, including New York, San Francisco, Toronto, London, Dubai, Mumbai, Hong Kong, Sydney, Washington DC and Singapore.

“The conversations are changing; the industries we are in are facing new challenges related to climate change, related to digitization.

Even the central banking world is changing. This is going to give us an equal opportunity to learn, express ourselves, to bring our views forward.”

Johannesburg - At a virtual event held on Tuesday Bloomberg announced the expansion of its New Voices media training initiative to South Africa, with the launch of its first cohort in Johannesburg.

Bloomberg News launched the New Voices initiative in 2018, providing media training to female executives in business and finance across the globe to get the executives TV-ready for interviews on Bloomberg television and other outlets.

Last year in the United States the programme expanded with a black executives cohort, and later this year the initiative will expand to include a Latinx executives cohort, across all gender identities in finance and business.

With the start of the training programme in Johannesburg, it will have been active in 11 global cities, including New York, San Fran-

cisco, Toronto, London, Dubai, Mumbai, Hong Kong, Sydney, Washington DC and Singapore.

Speaking at the event Bloomberg News editor for diversity, talent, standards and training Laura Zelenko said: “Diverse sourcing helps ensure we are fair and balanced, it helps limit our blind spots and biases, and it helps us not miss important stories on our beats or important perspectives in our storytelling. Our challenge is even more significant given our focus on the financial industry, itself struggling to diversify its upper ranks.”

She added that in South Africa they want to amplify the voices of black female executives in finance and other key industries in the economy across airwaves and stories.

The event included a keynote by South African Reserve Bank dep-

uty governor Fundi Tshazibana, followed by a discussion on challenges for female representation in boards, management and policymaking, and the implications for economic performance.

Speakers included Naspers SA CEO Phuthi Mahanyele-Dabengwa and Johannesburg Stock Exchange chief sustainability officer Shameela Soobramoney.

Tshazibana said: “I am a New Voice myself, in the central banking space, even though I have more than 17 years of experience in doing policy work. We are blessed in being the New Voices at this point in history; so much is changing around us. The conversations are changing; the industries we are in are facing new challenges related to climate change, related to digitization. Even the central banking world is changing. This is going to give us an equal opportunity to

learn, express ourselves, to bring our views forward.”

On the role of local journalism in the South African rollout, Bloomberg News SA bureau chief Amogelang Mbatha said: “There’s no doubt that there is an extraordinary amount of female executives to bring on board. There really is no better time to attract more women onto the various platforms that we have because the world is excited to hear from Africa.”

Since the programme’s inception in 2018, more than 260 executives have received media training.

Many participants have appeared on Bloomberg TV and have been booked on and quoted in other media outlets as well.

BCom Human Resource Management: A Modern Approach to People-Management

By Dr Hendrik Botha and Dr Janet Viljoen

Picture this: you are the Human Resource Manager at a small, Silicon-valley style tech start-up in Cape Town. You might rollerblade between your office and the canteen to take ‘stock’ with a colleague over a cup of coffee. Your role as HR specialist will primarily revolve around understanding the needs of the start-up so as to actively recruit the most qualified and tech-savvy individuals who can realise the company’s dream (vision and goals) while fitting into the culture perfectly.

It is a new dawn for Human Resource (HR) Management: no longer is “HR” only about personnel administration and “hiring and firing”. Today’s modern HR Manager is pivotal to the company’s strategic success, is fully involved in talent management, coaching, organisational development and is a leader in the creation of the organisation’s culture. The HR specialist is responsible for specifically delegated statutory and management advice, building teams of talent within the organisation and inspiring employee empowerment. The person who holds this position is enthusiastic, peoplefocussed, and participates in - and is inspired by - the strategic goals of the organisation. Stephen Hawking has been credited with noting that in the age of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, “only the most caring, creative and supervisory roles will remain of importance”: in other words, the human element that does remain will become ever-more valuable and important to the overall business venture.

Another scene: you are part of the Human Resource Management team for a multinational with offices on every continent.

You are used to taking calls at odd hours of the morning given the time difference between your base in Johannesburg and the headquarters in Brisbane, Australia. Your role includes oversight of legal compliance for all talent recruitment and appointment, but equally important is your team’s role in maintaining healthy employee-employer relations, cross-continentally.

Boston’s brand-new programme offering is the Bachelor of Commerce specialising in Human Resource Management (BCom HRM). It has been designed with the needs of tomorrow’s economy in mind, and it boasts bespoke modules that have been informed by careful research into the modern role of the Human Resource specialist: HR as strategic partner, employee advocate, and champion for change. Today’s HR Manager is situated front and centre of the executive team and it is to this specialist that

Dr Janet Viljoen leadership will turn for advice and business solutions that make best use of the most important resource the company has to offer: its talent.

It would be fair to say that the modern BCom graduate who holds a specialisation in HR is multi-talented. Not only have you assimilated the fundamental commercial acumen that the BCom degree offers you, but you’ve added to that a layer of crisp, clear people-management, understanding of team dynamics, and the management of metrics associated with performance goals. The foundation of a BCom degree is modules including Strategic Management, Financial Management, Economics, Business Ethics, Research Methods and Project Management. Boston’s core set of BCom modules included in the BCom HRM have a proven track record, with a supportive team of educators and exceptional learning mate-

rial backing your journey toward successful graduation and entry into the workplace. To this we add the exciting modules specific to developing tomorrow’s Human Resource Manager, including Workplace Psychology, International HRM, Performance & Reward Management Systems, Human Resource Analytics, Employee Relations and Labour Law, and Organisational Development & Skills Administration.

What role do you see yourself playing in an organisation once you have graduated?

Do you dream of positively influencing organisational culture, ensuring that individuals’ wellbeing is prioritised alongside their productivity? Have you ever dreamed of combining your love of all things commercial with your ability to engage people? This is the perfect qualification to prepare you for a role that is at once people-centred, and business-focussed. Ever wondered if you could combine your BCom with your ability to social influence? This is your opportunity.

Start your higher education journey today.

You do not need to wait to “see what happens with COVID-19”. Rest assured that Boston has implemented the necessary steps to ensure compliance with the national regulations in place for Higher Education Institutions. In keeping with our studentcentred approach to education, we are committed to ensuring, as new regulations become live at the different risk-assessment levels of national government, that we maintain clear communication channels with our students across various media platforms. Boston has also implemented several interventions to support the Department of Higher Education and Training’s (DHET) commitment to “Save the Academic Year, Save Lives.”

The journey doesn’t end with your BCom HRM… that is merely the beginning of your adventure into the fast moving space that is the modern business-place. Further study is possible after completing your BCom HRM and the options are endless – your choices include postgraduate programmes in many commercial specialities such as Management, Corporate Governance or Leadership as examples, or deeper specialisation in Human Resource Management such as Labour Relations, etc. Don’t limit your vision: the step you take to apply today and register to start in July could be the first step toward your MBA degree.

Africa is ready for a new crop of leaders.

Boston is ready to partner with you!

Cyber crooks use household objects to spy on victims Tech Reporter Check Point Software Technologies has published research warning people of household objects that are targeted by cybercriminals to spy on individuals at their homes.

It is estimated that there are over 22 billion devices that are linked to a home internet connection around the world, and research suggests this could reach 38, 6 billion by 2025.

Technical director of Check Point Eusebio Nieva says mobile phones, smart TVs, computers and toys are some of the targeted devices.

“The products that feature a camera or microphone can become an issue if they are connected to the internet and do not have necessary security measures. Taking into account the current lockdown restrictions and numbers of people working from home, it is no surprise that cybercriminals focus on possible security breaches in these devices to spy on users and collect sensitive information,” he says.

Most TVs today incorporate internet connection, and have a camera and microphone for video calls. Many models also have voice controls so a TV can be turned on without a remote control. These devices can see and hear everything within a room, so an apparently innocent looking object can be used as an attack point.

The best way to avoid these risks is to cover the camera when not in use, disable or restrict permissions.

Desktop and laptop devices have microphone and camera functions that can be used to spy on individuals or used for financial gain. Covering the camera or restricting permissions of the microphone are important security measures. It is also important to install security tools that often analyse the status of software and documents to detect any malicious activity.

Check Point director Eusebio Nieva

Mobile phones incorporate everything from current location to personal bank details. It is important to only download applications from recognised sources and check permissions granted to each app. Having security tools such as Sandblast Mobile, a threat defence solution, can help protect devices against advanced mobile attacks.

A vast number of children’s toys incorporate technology, such as drones, robots, remote control aeroplanes and games consoles, which can connect to the internet. Traditional soft toys or dolls have been updated and incorporate functionality to download a mobile application to access new features, which can pose a risk to children’s privacy. In some European countries, some toys have been banned for extracting sensitive data from minors.

Nieva says there are countless devices connected to the internet that make lives easier, but we are often unaware of the permissions we give to these tools, or potential vulnerabilities cybercriminals can exploit.

“Learning how to protect these devices and the risks they present are essential steps to avoid falling victim to cybercriminals,” Nieva says.

Booze industry questions

Easter weekend off-site ban Johannesburg - The Beer Association of South Africa (BASA) is concerned about the rationale of banning off-site alcohol consumption ahead of the long weekend.

BASA CEO Patricia Pillay said: “We start to recover and then we start losing the momentum every time. If we had a barometer that every time the numbers spike, you will be shut down, then we have something to work with.”

The National Liquor Traders Council said it is relieved that bars would still be allowed to trade over the Easter period.

“We are grateful for the opportunity to continue earning a living and supporting our families. We remain committed to supporting government in its efforts to fight against the Covid-19 pandemic,” Ntimane said.

He added that a sustainable way of dealing with the situation needs to be found, as banning off-premise sales would have a negative effect on the retail sector.

Figures showed that the country’s alcohol industry experienced sales revenue losses amounting to about R36 billion over the three bans, totalling 19 weeks of lost trade.

Jeppestown - The City of Joburg has started construction of a R1.6 billion social housing project at Extension 38 in Main Road, Jeppestown.

The City said the project, led by Johannesburg Social Housing Company (Joshco), is a response to the need for decent and affordable residential units in the inner-city.

The project will involve construction of 1 336 units of four-storey blocks, to accommodate mixedincome households with income ranging from R3 500 to R15 000 per month, in one and two-bedroom communal rental units.

City of Joburg Housing MMC Mlungisi Mabaso said the objective of such projects is to address housing demand and promote establishment of quality rental options for residents.

“The Jeppestown development is part of the city’s turnkey projects to address lack of affordable housing. This is our humble contribution to the people of Johannesburg and changing their lives for the better.

With such investment we project that thousands of job opportunities will be created. In this project a minimum of R67 million will be set aside for local small, medium and micro enterprises,” Mabaso said.

He added that other areas had been identified and would also benefit from the R1.6 billion set aside for mega projects.

“We will continue to launch affordable housing projects of this nature, even in the up-market communities. The days of segregating people by their economic status are coming to an end,” he said.

Mabaso pointed out areas that include Diepsloot, Midrand, Rivonia and Sandton as next destinations for the mega projects.

The first phase required public relations students to choose from a list of South African social issues and tell a personal story of hope. The second requires the PR students to tell the stories of local heroes, involved with community projects or businesses or micro influencers.

Johannesburg - Last Thursday the University of Johannesburg (UJ), in partnership with Brand South Africa and the Public Relations Institute of Southern Africa (PRISA) launched a student storytelling interdisciplinary project.

The project provides students with an opportunity to tell their stories of hope and resilience, inspiring those around them to play their part.

The students from the Department of Strategic Communication in the Faculty of Humanities, Applied Information Systems, representing the College of Business and Economics and Applied Legal Studies from the Faculty of Law, are working together to produce inspirational stories featuring their own experiences and those of others.

The stories will be published on digital platforms developed by se-

nior Applied Information Systems students, following the legal council of senior Law students.

Brand South Africa and the Public Relations Institute of Southern Africa (PRISA) partnered with UJ on the project to provide the theme and the industry support.

The first phase required public relations students to choose from a list of South African social issues and tell a personal story of hope. The second requires the PR students to tell the stories of local heroes, involved with community projects or businesses or micro influencers.

For each phase the Applied Legal Studies students will council other students to ensure that the POPI Act, Copyright regulations and digital privacy laws are adhered to.

Lusanda Zokufa

TikTok has launched an incubator project called Rising Voices, an initiative open to black South African creators, endorsed by the National Film and Video Foundation (NFVF), an agency of the Department of Arts and Culture.

The initiative is to run for six weeks, focusing on supporting local black creators through digital skills development and content amplification.

The project aims to upskill creators, offer grants and provide opportunities to make a career in content creation.

TikTok Africa content operations manager Boniswa Sidwaba says this is vital to growing a creator ecosystem.

“South Africa is brimming with creative talent from black creators and we commit to provide the best local support to help amplify the voices of this community. We will empower these creators and provide them with career-building resources,” she says.

CEO of the NFVF Makhosazana Khanyile says: “Projects like this provide content creators with opportunities to develop digital skills while learning from some of the industry’s experts. We look forward to seeing the content and creators to emerge from this programme, and add value to the video industry in South Africa.”

Selected creators will be put through a boot camp to learn how to master

their craft, personal branding, monetising their account and the importance of content catering to a diverse audience, Sidwaba says.

“The selection committee will choose 20 of the creators to receive a grant. Those will be tasked with creating a series of paid content and will be given a one-on-one mentor session to analyse their content plan,” she adds.

Applications are open until 9 April 2021, via an in-app form on https://m. tiktok.com/magic/eco/runtime/releas e/6059d588772567031a847b3b?app Type=muse.

Applicants must complete the form and submit a one-minute video highlighting why they want to be part of the programme.

Candidates must be black creators based in SA, over 18 years old, have about 10 000 followers and posted at least 12 videos in the last 60 days.

wo years ago the Market Theatre Foundation decided to create a platform for emerging story tellers.

The residency allows them the opportunity to utilise the space and receive technical support to help them in honing their creative voices for future projects.

The first recipient of the residency was Jeff Tshabalala and his company Ub’Dope. His residency challenged the traditional form of content creation as he explored the relationship between audiences. He introduced interactive game shows that required patron participatory as part of his learnings and product.

The 2021 recipient is choreographer Lulu Mlangeni. She was given a nod for her brave and explosive dance style by the Standard Bank Young Artist Award. She will use her residency at the Market Theatre creating her piece for upcoming National Arts Festival in Makhanda.

The six-month residency is aimed at supporting artists at every stage, from emerging artists to mid-career and established theatre makers.

Although there are difficulties the need to continue the programme is crucial. The Market Theatre Foundation will identify two young people from different pockets of the industry every year for the residency.

Kippies will again be the home where the creative magic will happen.

Mlangeni is a dancer, teacher, choreographer and director based in Johannesburg. Over the years she has worked with prominent local and international artists, script writers, and directors like Gregory Maqoma, Luyanda Sidiya, PJ Shabbaga, Nelisiwe Xaba, James Ngcobo, Darren Hayward, Sibongile Khumalo and Hugh Masekela.

She has performed in Burkina Faso, Tanzania, Switzerland, Brazil, France, Mozambique, Botswana, Mexico, Russia, USA, Germany, Madagascar, Reunion Ireland and more places.

She is an award winner for The Most Outstanding Female Dancer 2007 in Contemporary Style for the Dance Umbrella Festival. She is the winner of reality TV show So You Think You Can Dance Season 2 South Africa in 2010 and was a choreographer for the Season 3 show. She was a nominee for the Naledi Awards in 2010 and presented three awards in 2016. In 2014 she was named the first recipient of the Sophie Mgcina Best Emerging Voice Award, supported by the Market Theatre at the Naledi Awards.

In 2018 she was commissioned by the Market Theatre as a director/choreographer to stage Confined as part of the Department of Arts and Culture incubator project. In the same

Ex-Banyana star launches foundation Modise is eager to make a difference and her biggest desire is to witness women footballers get the same respect and treatment as their male counterparts Sports Reporter

Banyana legend Portia Modise

anyana Banyana’s leading goalscorer and first African footballer to net 100 international goals, Portia Modise has launched a women-in-football foundation.

The launch took place in Dobsonville, Soweto, last week.

Modise said the objective of her Portia Modise Foundation is to help empower female footballers, with the hope of achieving equity one day.

“The foundation is about changing lives and creating opportunities for women in sport. This is about gender equality and changing people’s lives,” she said.

Modise, 37, scored 102 goals for the country to cement her status as

one of the best female footballers out of Africa; and retired in 2015.

“When I stopped playing the thought of starting a foundation crossed my mind but I was waiting for the right time to launch it. I want to leave a legacy and help aspiring female footballers make their dreams come true. I would like to assist them with coaching, school and skills development,” Modise said.

She added that she has a passion for the sport and would like to see aspiring footballers succeed, and is pleading with sponsors to come on board to help her make a difference in the game.

“I want to tell them that women also put in the same amount of work into their football as men. I want the

stars of tomorrow to tell a different story that will inspire a generation.

I want to help them go to school because in SA nobody takes women’s football seriously. I want them to buy houses and cars just like male footballers,” she said.

Modise said she went through abuse during her time as a footballer, being called a man, and wants that to change.

“I was called names and want to protect tomorrow’s stars. I am excited about the development and want to rekindle development in grassroots football with the assistance of former players and coaches. I want to close all the gaps in terms of women’s football and make the lives of women easier as I know we are struggling. And I am

not saying I am going to change the whole situation but I am going to try to help,” she said.

Modise is eager to make a difference and her biggest desire is to witness women footballers get the same respect and treatment as their male counterparts.

“As the Portia Modise Foundation, we are going to attempt to find the sponsors. At the end of the day it is not about us, it is about the upcoming generation. We need to reduce the challenges and ensure gender equality,” she said.

Modise’s former Banyana teammates Khabo Zitha and Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies goalkeeper Andile Dlamini conducted a coaching clinic for children from the age of 10 soon after the launch event.
