Two Steinmüller Africa managers spent a morning at Dabeka Secondary School in Kwazulu Natal, late in 2022 as part of Steinmüller Africa’s outreach programme in partnership with Nomoya Primary Cooperative. Unfortunately, Nomoya Primary Cooperative was severely affected by the floods that swept through KwaZulu-Natal in early 2022, where IT equipment was damaged and swept away. Dabeka Secondary School is one of the beneficiaries of this programme.

Through Nomoya Primary Cooperative, Steinmüller Africa donated 20 laptops with backpacks, 20-wired computer mice, 20 keyboards, 20 cable locks, 24 Microsoft software packages, 4 printers, a projector and 2 interactive SMART boards to Dabeka Secondary School.  It is a public school in uMzinyathi, KwaZulu Natal, catering for learners from grade 8 to 12 and will be sharing its IT resources with the community. As an example, members of the community can use the school’s IT resources to type and print their CVs in pursuit of job opportunities.

In accepting the donation, school principal Mr Mtshali quoted Albert Pike: “What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal”. This was an emphasis that the things we do – and the intentions with which we do these things – between the time we are born to the moment we leave this world, are what defines us and how we shall be remembered. He said the gesture that Steinmüller Africa has shown them will forever be remembered by the school for the role it played in making Dabeka a better school and community.

Michael Sadiki, Commercial Department EGM, and Birgit Franklin, Cost Controlling Manager, handed over Steinmüller Africa’s donation to the school. “It was a fulfilling experience to see the response and joy that was demonstrated by the school and community of Dabeka. In particular, the matriculants were extremely happy as the donated equipment would help them with their research in preparation for their end of year examinations,” the managers said.

Nomoya was established in 2016 to combat the increasing rate of unemployment among the youth and previously disadvantaged members of the community. Nomoya offers a variety of services, which include a community outreach programme that focuses on computer application technology and computer literacy for school learners and community members.

By Dr Nivisha Parag (Head of Healthcare Management Studies at Regent Business School)

In an era of constant transformation within the healthcare sector, it is crucial to pause and reflect on the profound changes shaping the future of healthcare in South Africa. Recently, Dr Nivisha Parag from Regent Business School had the privilege of hosting an engaging webinar session with two distinguished sector experts: Dr Rajesh Patel, Head of Health System Strengthening, and Mr. Charlton Murove, Head of the Specialized Research Unit, both from the Board of Healthcare Funders. The discussion centred on the National Health Insurance (NHI) Fund and Bill, two pillars that will undoubtedly influence the direction of healthcare in our nation.

The NHI Fund and Bill have become focal points of discourse, drawing attention from healthcare practitioners, policymakers, and the general public alike. They represent a substantial shift in our approach to healthcare, one that holds the promise of greater accessibility, equity, and quality of care for all South Africans. However, as with any transformation of this magnitude, they also bring with them a multitude of questions and concerns.

At Regent Business School, we recognise the importance of facilitating informed dialogue and analysis on critical healthcare issues. The recent webinar served as a platform for thought leaders and experts to engage in a comprehensive examination of the NHI Fund and Bill, shedding light on their historical underpinnings and potential implications.

One of the central issues discussed during the webinar was the prerequisites for user and healthcare service provider registration with the NHI Fund. While the concept of universal healthcare coverage is undoubtedly commendable, the practical implementation of such a system poses its challenges. It is vital to ensure that the transition to the NHI is seamless, minimizes disruption to healthcare services, and safeguards the interests of both providers and users.

Remuneration was another key topic of discussion. Fair compensation for healthcare services is fundamental to attracting and retaining skilled professionals. Ensuring that healthcare providers are adequately reimbursed is not only essential for the sustainability of the healthcare sector but also for maintaining the quality of care that South Africans deserve.

The webinar also critically examined the Bill itself, highlighting issues of irregularities and vagueness. Concerns were raised regarding fiscal implications, constitutional compliance, and the resources necessary to execute the significant infrastructural reforms outlined in the Bill. These concerns are not to be taken lightly, as they directly impact the successful implementation of the NHI.

Another noteworthy aspect of the NHI is the proposal to establish a single purchaser and payer for healthcare services. While this may streamline administrative processes, it also raises constitutional concerns and questions about potential monopolisation within the healthcare insurance industry. Patient rights to choose their healthcare providers and access to healthcare must not be compromised as we strive for Universal Health Coverage.

Governance and accountability within the proposed framework were also discussed at length during the webinar. The concentration of authority in the hands of the Minister and the associated board raised concerns about potential corruption and transparency issues within an already complex political landscape. Ensuring robust checks and balances is essential to building trust in the NHI system.

As we approach the upcoming elections, it is imperative to address the question of whether the NHI is being positioned as a political tool to garner voter support or as a genuine commitment to well-considered healthcare policies and sector reform. The future of our healthcare system should not be subject to political manoeuvring, but rather a reflection of our dedication to the well-being of all South Africans.

The NHI Fund and Bill represent a pivotal moment in South African healthcare. While they offer the promise of a more equitable and accessible healthcare system, they also pose complex challenges that require careful consideration. It is our hope that by engaging in open and informed discussions, we can contribute to the development of a healthcare system that truly serves the needs of our diverse nation.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Dr Nivisha Parag matriculated from Ladysmith Secondary in 2002 and achieved her MBChB at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) UKZN NRMSM in 2007 and thereafter completed her MBA at Regent, post grad Emergency Medicine Specialty 2014 and most recently her Critical Care Sub-Specialty in 2017. Her role as Head of Healthcare Management Studies at Regent Business School involves strategic development and continuous improvement of programs in healthcare, including the sector specific MBA in Healthcare Management.

enacity, attention to detail, the courage to persevere and overcome seemingly massive obstacles are just some of the characteristics of good entrepreneurs. It comes as no surprise, then, that many members of the Deaf community have overcome tremendous challenges to not only succeed in business, but even set up their own businesses to create jobs for others. 

This emerged during a recent event sponsored by eDEAF, a Deaf owned, B-BBEE Level 2 company which is the leading provider of Deaf skills development training in South Africa, and hosted by leading Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) company, Rewardsco.

The event set out to do just what Deaf Awareness Month does – help hearing people to understand deafness whilst also showcasing the significant achievements of resourceful members of the Deaf community. 

Lesego Gumede, is 27-years-old and the owner of shoe cleaning business, Sneaker Cleanic. Having completed both his matric and tertiary education despite having bilateral hearing loss and no hearing aids, he went on to work in sales at a large corporate. However, despite benefitting from good people skills, he struggled to communicate with clients and decided to quit his job in January 2021 to set up Sneaker Cleanic in a carport in a Pretoria township. 

Within three months of setting up, he partnered with chemical guru, John Peterson, to develop a range of shoe cleaning products which were trialled on almost 6 000 pairs of sneakers that came in for cleaning. Ultimately, he wishes to sell this range (and other cleaning products which he plans to develop in the future) to major retailers around the country. 

In the meanwhile, he and his team of eight are cleaning between 700 and 800 pairs of sneakers per month at two shops in shopping malls in Mamelodi and Mabopane, Pretoria. 

“We are nailing it because we are really good at what we do. We are a youth-owned business – so none of my team members is over 30. I am the leader and I have a disability – but our customers are happy, the reviews are good and the shoes keep coming in without many complaints. I’m really happy with what our team has achieved,” he says. 

Nevertheless, Lesego believes that his biggest achievement so far was accepting that he had a disability. “That made me get my confidence back and it made me a doer. Today, I am a business owner and this is just the beginning. I would love to develop this into a franchise and help build more entrepreneurs,” he says. 

DEAFinition, a leading provider of diversity and inclusion solutions for the wholesale and retail sector is, in itself, an example of entrepreneurship. Other examples include hygiene and cleaning, IT, adult education and training for the Deaf.

The organisation’s comprehensive approach to integration ensures the seamless integration of Deaf talent into the workplace. This is important as Deaf school leavers, who have encountered many barriers along the way, are seldom ready to enter the world of work. 

In South Africa, there are only 10 schools for the Deaf that offer matric which is widely regarded as a work entry benchmark in South Africa. Some children with hearing loss are only identified when they are as old as eight or nine and may spend the rest of their lives trying to catch up with their peers. Most Deaf children attend boarding school from the age of three and lose out on the opportunity to socialise with other Deaf children from different schools, learn from Deaf role models or acquire any form of work readiness skills.

Shubnum-Nabbi Maharaj, one of the directors of DEAFinition NPC, is one such role model. 

Although profoundly Deaf, she is the only member of her family to have matriculated. She was previously a learner through e DEAF and, when it was decided to set up a non-profit organisation to provide training, she was the obvious choice to take the lead.

Recently, Shubnum was asked to represent Africa at the World Federation for the Deaf conference that took place in Jeju, South Korea.   

“It was exciting to know that we are ahead in helping Deaf learners. All our training is free to Deaf learners. They are able to participate in essential work readiness training prior to being placed in places of work. Our learnerships are equivalent to a matric on the skills development matrix, so even if they haven’t been able to complete their matric, they can still get an equivalent qualification,” she explains. 

Maharaj says that, in the world of business, perceptions (an inability to see a person as capable or competent) are often the biggest challenges for the Deaf. 

She says that Deaf people are often culturally different from their hearing counterparts. “They are very straightforward which can be perceived as abrupt or rude.  Their facial expressions are often misinterpreted. We provide training to bridge the gap between the Deaf and the hearing world, as well as sensitisation training for companies that want to employ Deaf persons

Since Deaf literacy is low, causing many to battle to communicate and be prepared to participate in the world of business, Maharaj says that over 80% of South Africa’s Deaf population remains unemployed. Fortunately, with the right skills development, the sky is the limit.

Parents embarking on the homeschooling journey often seek home school support from professional educators and organisations specialising in curriculum development, teaching materials, and guidance to ensure their children receive a well-rounded education.

5. SAT Tutoring:

SAT tutoring services offer personalised coaching to help students achieve their best scores on the SAT, a crucial test for college admissions in the United States.

Mathematics can be a challenging subject for many students. Maths tutors provide one-on-one assistance, helping students grasp complex concepts and improve their maths skills.

10. Online Tutoring:

In today’s digital age, online tutoring has become increasingly popular. It offers convenience and flexibility, allowing students to access expert guidance from the comfort of their homes.

13. Private Tutors:

Private tutors offer individualised attention and personalised learning plans. Whether it’s for a specific subject or overall academic improvement, private tutors cater to the unique needs of each student.

14. English Classes for Kids:

Johannesburg: Load-shedding has been a recurring challenge for many, but its impact is felt more by learners preparing for their exams. Matriculants preparing for finals.

Recognising the dire need, The Square Shopping Centre in Sunninghill, in partnership with Mix 93.8 and the Yabashe initiative, launched the 'Light Up a Mind' campaign.

The campaign's mission is clear: "Be the light that helps learners study through load-shedding in exam time this year,” said Tracy Sutherland of The Square.  As thousands of students face the potential setbacks of learning in the dark, this initiative takes a stand to provide thousands of rechargeable lightbulbs, ensuring uninterrupted study sessions during power outages, she said.

“Nobody can learn in the dark,” said Mix 93.8 programme manager Sanele Motlana. “And in less fortunate neighbourhoods the impact of loadshedding can have lifelong consequences.”

With the 'Light Up a Mind' campaign, the partnership aims to light up the path to success for every student affected by these devastating power outages," said Motlana.

Individuals and organizations are invited to donate rechargeable lightbulbs, available for purchase at most supermarkets and hardware or lifestyle stores and to drop them off at either Mix 93.8’s studios in Midrand or at The Square Shopping Centre in Sunninghill’s management offices. The centre will donate R 50 000 in lightbulbs to supplement public donations.

“Looking after generation next, and nurturing education during a critical, future-determining period helps us help the youth to hedge their bets for a brighter future,” Sutherland said.

Mix 93.8 will be broadcasting from The Square Shopping Centre on Saturday 14 October to collect additional lightbulbs and hand over donations to Yabashe.

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa, September 5, 2023/ -- Rhodes Business School (www.RU.ac.za/BusinessSchool/) is recognized for its focus on sustainability and ethical leadership, after having placed highest amongst Business Schools in PMR.Africa’s 2022 national survey on Corporate Care – Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) programmes and initiatives in South Africa.

Professor Owen Skae, Director of Rhodes Business School, says “The school is proud of this, especially as this survey is not a ranking, but a recognition of decision-makers as to the contribution that we make achieving our vision of transforming business for a better world”.

Founded in 2000, Rhodes Business School’s Mission is to “educate and influence responsible business practice, responsibly”. Rhodes Business School has been applying its mind to sustainability and leadership for a long time. The reason is twofold. “Back in 2004, when this approach was formalized into our curriculum, we saw huge opportunities for all organizations, whether they are private or public, big or small to change the way they did business as this was the only way to grow the economy and narrow the inequality gap that prevailed, whilst ensuring our planet was preserved for future generations. Secondly, we took the view that it could no longer be ‘business as usual’ as, the standard approaches to conducting business, were quite simply, unsustainable”, says Skae. “There were sceptics, as there still are today, but we knew we were right and never deviated from what we believed was right.”

The global momentum for ESG reporting is now beyond the point of turning back, bearing in mind that the first International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) standards were released at the end of July. This is on the back of global sustainable investment reaching USD35.3 trillion in five major markets in 2020, a 15% increase from two years prior as reported by the Global Sustainable Investment Alliance in 2020. “It begs the question, where are the leaders, managers and auditors to come from?”, asks Skae.

“ESG is experiencing a backlash though. We would be naïve to think that it will just be implemented and that is the end of it. Today ESG is front-of-mind for everybody, but regardless of whether you believe it is real or not, you don’t have to find it, it will find you”.

All of Rhodes Business School's programmes, from its Diplomas to its MBA are committed to making sure that ESG is found, for all the right reasons. “Our graduates have confirmed that our programmes are truly transformative”.

The Rhodes MBA is a coursework degree comprising coursework and a research assignment. The degree is offered on a part-time, modular basis over two years.

The admission requirements are, an Honours degree or Postgraduate Diploma, a minimum of three years’ work experience and an admission test such as NMAT, GMAT or GRE. Applications close on 31st October 2023.

Rhodes Business School, Rhodes University is located in the rural city of Makhanda (formerly Grahamstown) in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. Its nearest large city is Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth).

It is committed to impact beyond the classroom as evidenced by its commitment to collaboration in the Makhanda Schools’ Leadership Project, which has seen a remarkable turnaround in matriculation results in Makhanda schools.
