Dear Concerts SA friend,

We would like to notify you of a fraudulent activity being perpetrated against certain music promoters and venue managers.

It has recently come to our attention that some music professionals have received an email, purportedly sent by an employee of the Samro Foundation’s Concerts SA project, offering funding for up to 50% of artist performance fees.

The email comes from sponsorship@musician.org, and in

cludes non-official, altered versions of Concerts SA's #MobilityFund docum ents - the Call for Proposals and the Application Form. Please note that Concerts SA, the SAMRO Foundation nd SAMRO will not email you from an email account that is not an official account i.e. with the suffix @samro.org.za, or the email addresses: info@concertssa.co.za and concertssa@gmail.com.

Should you receive any communication such as

the above, or you are contacted in any manner which may seem questionable and relates to funding opportunities, you are strongly advised to alert Concerts SA at info@concertssa.co.za Warm regards

RADICAL TRANSFORMATION A STRUCTURED JOURNEY

For a while now South Africans have been introduced to the term Radical Transformation, more interestingly the word

“Economic” it is this word that has South Africans interest captured and at times restless to what is the real meaning of this well welcomed term. The wonder of what it will look like in real life for the rest of South Africans, mostly the black communities entangled by the triple challenges.

tus should rather be sub investment level.

Any way In this article we are going try and bring some meaning on the Term Radical Economic Transformation and then we will look at how can it be approached from a facilitators perspective to achieve its intended objectives. Lastly we In the coming months the rest- will look at five elements to lessness will be more evident pursue this Radical Economic as compounded by the recent Transformation. announcement of the country’s In radio 702 interview conductdive in to technical recession ed by Stephen Grootes the Afri-

can National Congress's (ANC) subcommittee Chairperson on economic transformation, Enoch Godongwana said there is still no clarity around the phrase Radical Economic Transformation. Even though he is confident that once it is properly defined, people will rally behind it.

Let’s understand the meaning of Radical Economic Transformation from the online English | Oxford Dictionaries.

RADICAL: adjective 1 (especially of change or action) relating to or affecting the fundamental nature of something; far-reaching or thorough. ‘a radical overhaul of the existing regulatory framework’ ECONOMIC: adjective 1 Relating to economics or the economy. ‘the government's economic policy’ (of a subject) considered in relation to trade, industry, and the creation of wealth.

TRANSFORMATION: noun 1 A marked change in form, nature, or appearance. www.isaacmavuso.co.za l 8

The Facilitator Magazine JUNE 2017

‘South Africa underwent a radical transformation in 1994’ 1.1 A sudden dramatic change of scenery on stage.

Putting the definitions together and getting a clear meaning to the term let’s use the meaning elaborated by the Wits Universities associate professor of economics Christopher Malikane.

His statements elaborate the meaning on Radical Economic Transformation as changing the composition of output that the economy is producing and ownership and control patterns – who owns the entities that are making most of the production in the economy, and who manages, who makes decisions about investment patterns, employment patterns, pay in the labor market.

Currently the challenge about this radical transformation and the economic element around this are confusing statements from government, when the ministers and the governing party including our president talk to the masses, the term used is, South Africa needs Radical Economic Transformation and the very same people when they address business and investors locally as well as inter-

national people the massage seem to change to inclusive growth.

Now, in my opinion, within Radical Economic Transformation you must find Inclusive Growth if that is the intention of the transformation, therefore Radical Economic Transformation cannot be Inclusive Growth the two term cannot be synonymous to each other.

The nature of this confusion about Radical Transformation and Inclusive Growth is unsettling for the haves and the have nots. Our developing state has sophisticated tensions due to uncertainty and clarity, the tensions will continue to bring a rift particularly the blacks and whites. One might ask what needs to be done? The answer to this will be A VISION and the ability to articulate this vision and how will it translate to South Africans.

When delivering his lecture on the 27 January 1987 in Georgetown University Oliver Tambo shared what was the vision at the time and that vision was "We seek to create a united Democratic and non-racial society. We have a vision of South Africa in which black and white

shall live and work together as equals in conditions of peace and prosperity. The vision was clear.

Radical Transformation is a Structures Journey not a destination, and this will require proper planning and a clear vision with sound objectives. It is important to realise the massive resources needed to pursue such an ambitious project.

From a facilitation point of view this is what could have been done, first was to have a clear vision and let it be known.

There are five elements to consider whenever you are transforming. The truth about transformation is that it is not easy, such that it must be clear the benefit over the cost.

FIVE ELEMENTS 1. What is the need or challenge – this will be your what and the why 2. Research to understand the structure and nature of the current system and resources. What is there.

3. Planning – how, the map to change the status quo, you need think tanks and industry giants, the who will do this. www.isaacmavuso.co.za l 9

HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR DAY? Success is intentional, to achieve take it one day at a time.

It’s a given, we all have equal time, 24 hours every day. Then how come some people seem like they have more hours than the rest? The answer to that I found from my observation through reading successful people’s habits, attending seminars and workshops such as goal setting. What was clear is how successful people choose use their time and most importantly the commitment and dedication they invest to execute the task at hand their intentions.

The most important thing now is to know and to understand about any given day is that you have 24 hours with two kinds of events and activities, planned and unplanned.

Our greatest struggle as people we want to live a balanced life, and what I have learnt about life is there is no such, we can never have a balanced life, we only juggle priorities. What is important today might not hold the same value over time so its not a bout balance, its about priorities. What is your priority today?

SO, HOW TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR DAY? THERE ARE THREE PRACTICAL THINGS TO GET INTO THE HABIT OF, NAMELY: 

GOOD PLANNING



PRIORITISING



and CLEAR ACTION LETS UNPACK THE THREE QUICKLY:

GOOD PLANNING: Planning is about understanding you goal and getting ready from brainstorming setting out what needs to be done (wish list & to do list) and what resources you will need to do so. It can start as a yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly to daily goal setting activity. The secret is simplicity.

PRIORITISING Remember we are juggling priorities daily so on your to do list you need to select what is important and focus on that.

Make sure you’re clear and you make a list that is small and don't overwhelm yourself CLEAR ACTION Once you have a clear to do list, you will have to allocate sufficient time to each task and give it your all.

TIPS TO A PRODUCTIVE ACTION 

Have an early start—Morning



Exercise and Break fast



Eat the frog— do the challenging task first.



Work 25 min on a task uninterrupted and take a 5 min break.



Set out any extra recourses and references you might need.



Put phone off or on silence and have the courage to say sorry I cant talk or see you now.

For continued productive days and guaranteed success it is important for you to find your style a system that works for you and to build your own productive habit.

BOOK REVIEW

Author Loyiso Majola Only when you have been on rock and a hard place you can claim where there’s a will there a way. This has been the life of Loyiso Majola. Loyiso has been in situations where his life felt empty, aimless and ineffective.

There are so many things he wanted do and achieve but without means to do so, he’s had ideas and the will, but no resources. Such an experience seemed his dreams may never be realised.

Challenges he’s overcome are testament to the abilities within us to endure life’s challenges and obstacles, ultimately to enjoy the fruits of our labour.

Many are times we come up with excuses why we are not able to pursue our dreams, to this effect he is a living example that passion and determination, we can achieve all that God has destined for us.

Interestingly the book was written using a Huawei Y220 phone. This is a book that is dedicated to all the people whose trials and tribulations have kept them from achieving their dreams. Endure Before You Enjoy is not a memoir but rather a motivational book that aims to inspire and motivate people. “I hope to inspire everyone who reads this book, to push towards their dreams and never build obstacles but rather see opportunities in every challenge.”

pany that focuses on offering creative communications solutions and manufacturing, as well as facilitation and business seminars. Loyiso believes that he was born to unlock the Godgiven potential in people to awaken their leadership potential and to inspire them towards spiritual growth and innovative pursuit to leave the world a better place. This book a must read.

WARD COMMITTEE

The Facilitator Magazine JUNE 2017

This is a legislated structure that is very important to the development of our communi-

LEADERSHIP BEGINS IN YOUR WARD There are three spheres of government, national, provincial and local – which is the municipalities and the metros. All these need to work for the people and the structure here ultimately seem to invest the power back to the municipalities via the ward committees and the gate keepers and ambassadors of local development and advocacy.

In August 3rd 2016 the county held its fifth local municipal elections, which changed the country’s political landscape. Every five years the local municipal elections heralds the local ward based leadership change the ward committees. The municipality will open nominations fallowed by elections of the ward committee members.

ties. Former president Thabo Mbeki once said: “We must engage one another in a similar manner on a whole range of important specific issues such as improving service delivery and strengthening local government, including the Ward Committees.

The committees are formed by ordinary members of the community the workers to a pastor they play a critical role in ensuring the necessary contact between the people and our institutions of government.”

Of particular importance in this regard will be the need for this structure to ensure that the local government Ward Committees meet regularly and function as they were intended as prescribed on by The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa of 1996 in Chapter 7 Section 152; outlines the objectives and the aims of local government.

LEGISLATION The Local Government on the Municipal Structures Act, 1998 Sections 73 and 74; highlight the rules and regulations on the es-

tablishment of ward committees The Local Government: Municipal Systems Act, 2000. This speaks to the legislation on public participation opportunities every community can anticipate in their municipalities ROLES/ RESPONSIBILITIES At the core of the ward committee responsibility is being an advisory body to the ward councillor.

One can ask advising on what?

That is very easy, as members of the community they are believed to be closer to the rest of the community and their proximity affords them a unique opportunity to identify needs and concerns of the people in the ward.

Members will then communicate their needs and grievances in

their meetings and constituencies where such information can be prioritised to form part of the ward action plan that could be elevated to create the Municipal Action Plan that can be include to the

The month of June is historically important for the youth and the rest of South Africa. It commemorates youth month which is rooted from the students uprising in June 16, 1976. This was first commemorated as the Day of the African Child an initiative by the OAU in 1991 recognising and honouring the participants of the Soweto uprising at that time. The uprising was an event that spread all around the country, changing the narrative as well as the geopolitical landscape. Forty-one years later the South African government will honour and commemorate 2017 youth month honouring the legacy of OR Tambo’s centenary and such inspired this year’s theme: THE YEAR OF OR TAMBO: ADVANCING YOUTH ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT.
