Ek weet Suid-Afrikaners verkies om nie op slegte nuus te fokus nie, maar mens mag nooit vergeet van die daaglikse realiteit in Suid-Afrika nie. Dit is skrikwekkend, al probeer ek self meeste van die tyd nie daaroor tob nie.

Ek dink nie mens kan veel afleidings maak na aanleiding van een aanstelling nie. Miskien word daar min ingemeng met buitelandse maatskappye, of miskien het regstellende aksie verflou weens gebrek aan kapasiteit by die regering om dit af te dwing, of weens gebrek aan geskikte swart kandidate in die algemeen.

LG se aanstelling van 'n Afrikaner as hoof in Suid-Afrika is vir my nogal verrassend...gegewe die regering se regstellende beleid. Sou hierdie 'n uitsondering wees, of is dit meer algemeen as wat mens dink? Kla Afrikaners dalk te veel oor regstellende aksie?

Dis nou baie interessant en hartseer!

Baie huwelike gaan onder deur, en baie partjies trou sonder om te weet wat om te verwag! Blog dit op http://blog.mariskadevilliers.com/. Help ander om voor bereid te wees. Deel lewens verhale, ondervindinge soos hoe om voor te berei vir die trou dag, wat om te doen om jou wittebrood reg voor te berei, boeke wat help met die huwelik, dvd's met insig ens...

Gee jou bydrae tot die huwelik vandag!

Ek stem - blogs bly een van die heel beste goed wat nog met die Web gebeur het. Omtrent net so nuttig en belangrik as epos en aanlyn-koerante, en ver bo dinge soos Twitter en Facebook.

Besides these remittances, the utmost contribution that the Diaspora can do, is marketing their home countries. For Rwanda, our Diaspora can be an effective force in economic growth by mobilizing foreign investors and encouraging tourists to visit.

Government has put in place policies that favour members of our Diaspora that include the adoption of a law on double citizenship. What the Diaspora needs is to tap these opportunities and contribute to the transformation of their country.

As the world increasingly turns into a global village, the question of where one resides is irrelevant, particularly when they are motivated by patriotism and the desire to develop their own country.

Kigali — Rwandans in the Diaspora are meeting in Kigali to map out strategies on how they can better serve their country. As this important group of Rwandans meet, the Central Bank has given them the green light to set up the Rwanda Diaspora Mutual Fund to mobilize resources for investing in various sectors of their interest within the country.

The Rwandan Diaspora is increasingly becoming an important sector of our society, contributing immensely to the development on this country. Last year, remittances from this group rose to $175 million up from $139 million that was recorded a year before.

The figures are expected to rise this year, despite the on-going global financial crisis.

What has been lacking in the past, is a mobilization strategy that ably engages this group.

This seems to have been resolved, especially with the setting up of a directorate in the Foreign Affairs Ministry, coordinating Diaspora interests.

And the fruits are beginning to show, as the noble initiative of the one -dollar campaign designed solely by members of the Rwandan Diaspora demonstrates.

Across Africa, estimates show financial flows from the Diaspora on average contribute 5-10 percent of some African countries' Gross Domestic Product.

Baie goeie analise van Giliomee. Die volgende slaan veral die spyker op die kop:

"The other surprise was the collapse of business leadership. With the exception of Johann Rupert and a few others, very few business leaders have been prepared to criticise government on policy."

"The Afrikaans press is freer than ever and Naspers is the biggest media company in Africa, but the government could not care a whit about what appears in the Afrikaans papers. I don't know what is worse: censorship or being ignored."
