FROM THE EDITOR
EDITOR
he year is drawing to a close. Very

soon, we will begin looking back at
the year 2014 as part of history, part
of our past. The things we will have
done in 2014 cannot be changed. So
many things will be written and said about the year
2014. From our individual experiences to those that
affected our communities and our countries. Like
every year, 2014 was a unique year and shaped our
lives in different ways. Memorable events range from
tragic ones like the disappearance of the Malaysian
Airline and outbreak of the Ebola Virus Disease to
the celebratory ones like the landing of a spacecraft
on a comet.

The events that took place in 2014 have inspired many, individuals and countries, in varying ways;-the
world came together in search of survivors across the vast waters that cover our planet when MH730
went missing; the international community put resources together in its desperate attempt to find
a cure for Ebola. But how much of what happened during the year, within our communities and our
country, inspired us as individuals, as members of our communities? How much of what has happened
in 2014 will remain as lessons for us to be inspired from, to learn from and to pass on the knowledge to
our friends, children and loved ones in the years to come? We all know how a single act by a youth in
Tunisia inspired an uprising that led to the fall of governments in the Arab region. This act will be cited
for years to come.
But do we have to die to inspire change in our world? The answer is a categorical NO. Through our
individual actions, small honest actions, others can get inspired, motivated and find long lost hope. In
so many ways we can inspire others; care about them, encourage them, be a good example, share both
our successes and failures with them-be vulnerable, show humility and above all be inspired ourselves.
Many families across the continent have struggled through the year. The story is the same for countries
and companies. When we look back at the year about to end, we ask ourselves; what is it that came
from our continent which received worldwide recognition? There could be cases worth pointing at,
but whatever the case a lot still remains to be done for us to achieve the greatness and esteem we see
in other parts of this world. Many countries will be pulling their socks in order to meet their Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) promises made close to 15 years ago. We can only wish them wellespecially with regard to ensuring that every child has a chance to attend primary education.
During the course of the year, we shared with you testimonies of individuals from different parts of the
continent; from young men using start-ups to show their innovative ideas that address local challenges
to young ladies defying all odds and choosing career paths generally perceived to be tailored for men
only. We traversed the continent and came across individuals who are willing to do anything under the
sun to get an education that will enable them live lives they dream of. Through all this, we learnt a lot
and we hope you our readers did too. We cannot pat our backs and tell ourselves well done. A lot still
remains to be done. This cannot be and will not be done by us alone.
We know we cannot change the world through the stories we share or through our individual efforts as
citizens of this global village. But this will not stop us from trying, from doubling our efforts in ensuring
that African stories are shared and retold for generations to come. We do not aim at inspiring nations,
rather we focus on individuals. We believe in the strength of individual actions to inspire communities
and nations. Just as we worked together with different individuals and institutions, including our
readers across the different parts of this planet, during the course of this year, we look forward to doing
so in 2015 and beyond.
Enjoy!

The story of Frank Magwegwe:
Against All Odds

Words By Mmabusang Mpshe
rank Magwegwe, the CEO of Momentum Administration

Services grew up in Eastern Cape where he matriculated
in 1991. Due to financial problems, Magwegwe could
not further his studies so he got a job as a barman at
Kirkwood hotel in Eastern Cape. In September 1992
he got fired from that job because he was determined to being
someone respectable, a leader of tomorrow and set out an
example to everyone from a disadvantaged background. He
never gave up. A wise man once said failure is an egg that you
break to make the omelette of success
Magwegwe found himself in the dusty streets of Johannesburg
with no roof over his head. Life was difficult for him at that
time. He completely forgot the meaning of happiness, he was
homeless and eating leftover food from fish and chips so that he
could survive, but because he was always perseverant, he never
lost hope. Magwegwe then started a small business of selling
fruits and vegetables in the streets of Johannesburg. His business
became a success and it grew bigger that he hired people who
could help him manage the business. He used to visit the library
to read books about success and thats where he met the late Mrs
Zummerman, who guided him to apply for a place at University
of the Witwatersrand.
He finished his course and got diplomas and degrees. He
became a champion as a champion is someone who reaches
the finishing line. Frank Magwegwe is now seen by many as a
successful entrepreneur, a symbol of progress and a messenger
of inspiration to millions of people. Of all the hardships

he encountered in life, he is now the CEO of Momentum
administration services. A wise man once said do not be a copy;
a copy is cheaper than the original. Had Magwegwe copied other
people, he would probably not be where he is now, he chose
to be his leader and listen to advices from people who have the
knowledge and skills.
There are many people who struggle financially but that does
not mean their dreams have to die too. In order to keep up with
financial problems, one has to have a clear goal in mind of what
can be done to overcome the challenge. We do not have to
give up on our dreams because of the lack of money. There are
professionals who prepare financial plans for people (financial
advisors) to help them manage their budget and how to spend
their money and on what to spend it. No matter how hard the
situation is, there is always a way out. Shout out for help when in
financial problems. Seek advice from financial advisors.
Sometimes in life we will face difficulties, life will not turn
out the way we always dreamt of it but we ought to never give
up. Nothing comes easy in life. We have to start somewhere
to be where we want to be. In times of difficulties, we have to
ask ourselves What is this here to teach me, not Why is this
happening to me. Perseverance and faith will draw us closer to
our dreams.

HeHe Labs:
Rwandas Tech
Start Up
Hehe labs is an award winning tech start up that is passionate about creating applications that ease
the access of information by providing convenient and simple to use apps. We spoke to Iribagiza one
of the founders behind this start up to tell us more about Hehe Labs.
Who is Clarisse Iribagiza in a nutshell?

Am a 26 year old Rwandan Computer Engineer from the
Kigali Institute of Science and Technology (Now College of
Science and Technology of the University of Rwanda) and Cofounder of HeHe Labs.
Kindly tell us more about you formative years growing up
in Rwanda.
I was actually born in Uganda and visited family in Rwanda
every other year until 2006 when I completed high school and
came here for my university studies.
I was raised by a science loving dad and entrepreneurial
mom, which explains a lot about what I do today. My parents
encouraged my siblings and I to do what we loved but also took
education quite seriously. I think it was the perfect balance.
You started Hehe Labs in 2010, what inspired you to start
your own business?
My friends and I used to sit at cafs while I was in college
brainstorming about businesses ideas. We tried a couple
of things here and there but my opportune moment came
when I was a junior in college. I went through a 6 weeks
incubation program that was ran by MIT on mobile applications
development and entrepreneurship that completely opened
my eyes to how to get from just an idea to building something.
The idea my classmates and I worked on seemed good
enough for us to start a business and we just went ahead and
did it.
Once you realised you wanted to become an entrepreneur,

and how did you envision your company?
We really wanted to build an organization that is centred
around collaboration and trying out new things that have a
positive impact on the world. And weve worked towards that
for the last 4 years. We love the work that we do at HeHe and
that has created a great culture. We also focus on building
great products for our audience and all our clients come from
referrals.
What is Hehe Labs all about?
HeHe is a mobile technologies company with one mission, to
connect people to relevant information. I know it sounds clich
to say that information is power but it truly is. We want to see
Africa become an information society that actively tells its own
stories, has its people connected, learning and collaborating
with each other for social-economic progress.
Our technologies are doing exactly this in various sectors
such as agriculture, education, healthcare and transportation.
Where did you get the inspiration to redefine the ICT
landscape in Rwanda? What did you do differently from the
norm?
Our inspiration came from being part of a vision-driven
society. Without vision, people lack direction, but in my
countrys case, we have a clear vision for exactly where we want
to be.
11
FEATURE
HeHe Labs
Our vision as a company is very much aligned with Rwandas

vision.
I would say that it is not what we did differently but who. Our
team is made up of young and dynamic innovators that want
to change the world, as nave as that may sound. But that has
pushed us to do some pretty crazy things that in the end have
had great impact.
What are some of the highlights and adversities you have
faced as a young entrepreneur?
Being a young entrepreneur has had its pros and cons.
Our inexperience in doing business, especially when it came
to people believing that we could actually deliver what we
promised was a challenge.
But weve had great opportunities too. Weve gotten quite a
number of partners and clients as a result of being a youthful
and innovative team.
Our biggest highlight has been graduating our first class of
high school innovators that are building amazing solutions for
Africa, we see it as an extension of ourselves so we can impact
more. Seeing the lives of these students transformed from
simply creating a space where they could learn, experiment
and build something useful is fuel for our team.
In your mind as a young person, did you ever imagine you
were going to accomplish as much as you have today?
Honestly, Ive always been a big dreamer. But no matter how
big you dream, what you accomplish every step of the way
somewhat surprises you.
What is your favourite thing about being an entrepreneur?
My favourite thing about what I do is that sense of autonomy
when it comes to creating an ideal world. I strongly believe
that whatever we can envision, we can accomplish. I had a hard
time in school because of how teaching was done so my team
and I created a space where others dont have to go through
the same ordeal but can learn better. Access to information
through television, internet or the books I read while growing
up was empowering, so were now building platforms to
connect more people to this kind of information.
If you could time travel back to day one of your start up

and have 15min with your former self to communicate
any lessons youve acquired with the intention of saving
yourself mistakes and heart ache, what would you tell
yourself?
Id tell myself not to rush into things but to take time and
build the right team. But most importantly, invest time in
learning about what it means to lead.
What are some of the clients Hehe Labs works with and
where do you see Hehe Labs in the future?
We work with a range of clients all around the world, from
established organizations such as Nike Foundation, SNV and
several other NGOs to Government institutions and exciting
start-ups such as SafeBoda in Kampala.
Our vision is for Africa and all our work is aimed at building
information access solutions for the continent.
Projected economic growth presents Africa as a land full
of opportunities, do you think younger Africans should
consider entrepreneurship?
I think that as young people, we should learn to do that
which we love and are good at and be innovative. It might
not necessarily be entrepreneurship. I personally have great
respect for young people that are serving in our nations armed
forces or teaching in schools.
What piece of advice can you give to aspiring young
entrepreneurs?
Be humble and teachable. It will save you a lot of heartaches.
Education plays an important role to the development
of any society, do you think it is imperative for aspiring
entrepreneurs to get a formal qualification before they
embark of the entrepreneurship journey?
Ive personally taken several skills development classes and
plan on going back to school someday. It might not necessarily
be a formal education but it is important for an entrepreneur
to never stop learning.
Images by Laura Elizbeth Pohl.
We really wanted to build an

organization that is centred
around collaboration and trying
out new things that have a
positive impact on the world.
And weve worked towards that
for the last 4 years.

ABB / Wits Business School Strategic Partnership
Empowering our people

AT ABB, our employees are our greatest asset. The level of support, career
development and opportunities that our employees enjoy is among the best
in the business world.
We strive to make sure that all our employees receive the right support to realise their full
potential by relying on a mix of structured talent management and learning offerings. Our
aim is to have the right people, in the right place, at the right time.
One way in which ABB seeks to develop employees is through a strategic partnership
with Wits Business School. The suite of Executive Education programmes offered by
Wits Business School facilitates the growth and development of range of management,
leadership and general business skills within our employees.
ABB utilises these programmes to prepare our employees for future leadership roles that
allow for employees to deliver business value and give our employees the competitive
edge. WBS provides an effective and tailored range of programmes that make the learning
process not only meaningful but highly engaging as well. Through the development of
greater levels of individual ability and skill, ABB is able to ensure continued delivery and can
position itself for the future.
Meet some of our employees who recently completed the New Managers Programme
(NMP) through Wits Business School:
Shikantha Naidoo
Internal Sales Manager
How has this better equipped you for your role at ABB: This course has given me a general
management overview and has helped me understand different areas in the business (finance,
marketing, managing people, etc) and also managing my staff and myself in a more professional
manner. As a manager, decision-making and problem solving are key functions and the NMP
course has improved my ability in handling such situations.
What value do you think such programmes have: I now have a clear understanding of what
is expected of me from the business and well as my staff. It is important for managers to be
educated and motivated on how to run a department more effectively, and this has helped me
to a great extent. Such programmes gives new managers an overview of the different aspects
associated to run a successful business as well as personal development.
Mpumelelo N. Ngcobo
Talent Acquisition Specialist
How has this better equipped you for your role at ABB: The NMP at Wits provided me with
a holistic and dynamic approach to working with people and improving business and working
relationships. You are able to understand why different managers make decisions based on the
situation at the time and business needs, thus employing a different approach when dealing with
them and their personalities.
What value do you think such programmes have: Programmes such as the NMP assists
managers and young professionals such as myself across all disciplines, to understand the
overall business model and how to strategically design their business to fit with the overall
business strategy in order to the organization to reach its intended goals.
Natasha Mpela
Senior Communications Manager
How has this better equipped you for your role at ABB: The NMP has empowered me to better
understand the operational aspects of ABB. The practical application of the study material was
exceptionally valuable as it clearly illustrated how each part of our organisation is interlinked and
interdependent. I now view the Marketing and Communications department as not just a support
function but rather an integral part of the organisation.
What value do you think such programmes have: Programmes of this nature foster strategic
thinking across multiple business disciplines. In this way, students develop skills that allow for
them to be valuable assets to their organisations, while also learning to manage themselves and
others effectively. These programmes are not just beneficial to the individual but are necessary
for organisational growth and success.
Carole-ann Hughes
Accounts Payable Supervisor
How has this better equipped you for your role at ABB: The course has improved my
management skills and assisted me in coping under pressure within the workplace. I have been
able to handle and understand the needs of my staff, suppliers and co-workers. I have also
learnt how to be more productive in the time allocated to me.
What value do you think such programmes have: I have understood the importance of
my contribution towards ABB South Africa. I believe the program has guided me in the right
direction to make better choices and judgment calls when the time arises.
Michael Wchter
Communications Specialist
How has this better equipped you for your role at ABB: This programme has given me a
greater understanding of organisational dynamics as well as practical processes to effectively
engage with customers and colleagues allowing for a more productive and successful work
environment. Decision-making and problem-solving skills along with much needed financial skills
were some of the most enlightening modules on this course.
What value do you think such programmes have: The shift from managing self to managing
others requires a new value system where managing assumes a higher value than doing selfmanaged work. I strongly feel that implementing my learnings in the workplace will add value to
the business.
Alok Maharaj
Service Manager - Robotics
How has this better equipped you for your role at ABB: The opportunity to study at Wits
Business School was a great experience. The content covered in the modules, provided the tools
to better my ability in the areas that I needed, such as people management and Financial training.
The interaction with other colleagues on different levels and from various parts of the organisation
was highlight the course. We have good people but need more interaction across ABB, and this
course provides that.
What value do you think such programmes have: Programmes such as the NMP allow for
employees to realise that we all have the same aspirations and can help each other within our own
organization. The course really helps better us as managers
NAGand the future leaders of the organisation.

Avoid Regret:
Rethink Your Past Career Decisions
clearly remember the level of frustration and despair in

a clients voice over past career decisions that strongly
regreted and still haunted her years later.
Whether its accepting a lower-paying position, making

a sudden career change or transitioning to a new industry, we
can all look back with regret over some career decisions that
seemed perfect at the moment.
The only way to get back on track is to move past regret, learn
how to shake it off, find the hidden gems in those learning
16
experiences and re-focus your energies on new horizons.

Sounds good in theory right? But we know its a lot harder to
execute in reality.
However, instead of complaining and throwing in the towel,
consider these career rebounding techniques to get back on
track:
1) Let Go Emotionally
Take a deep breath and begin to forgive yourself. In the 15+
years of providing executive career and branding services, I have
Abby Locke
FEATURE
Dont underestimate how a powerful testimony or personal

referral from your current employer can be vital to your next
transition...excel where you are!
3) Increase Your Professional Training
Is there a new certification or degree program that you want
to complete, but never had the time? Keep yourself challenged
and motivated by enrolling in evening classes or online
programs.
Take advantage of free or low-cost webinars, seminars and
networking/learning events. Maximize every opportunity to
enhance your competencies and marketability.
4) Be Proactive About Leadership Opportunities
Anticipate what you want your future career story to be and
start building the path that will get you there. Actively explore
leadership roles within your community, professional/local
associations and even alumni groups.
Identify and counteract any skills/competencies/knowledge
gaps in your career path. Once you start an aggressive job
search, you will have strong achievements and ChallengeAction-Results (CAR) stories to overcome your career
shortcomings.
5) Stop Complaining & Start Looking
If your work situation is too unbearable, focus your energies
and efforts on landing a better position if its possible. Get
your executive resume updated and execute a highly focused
and strategic job search; keep in mind that career glitches and
hiccups may challenge you along the way, so you have to be
consistent and willing to stick it out to the end.
not met any client with a perfect career background, some with
unique career challenges and non-traditional career paths, but
none with a perfect score.
Move past the regrets and embrace a more positive mindset
before making critical career decisions; one approach is to
minimize that hard-to-explain job content to one or two
bullets your executive resume and other career marketing
documents.
2) Accept The Situation, But Shine Anyway
Many executives who are stuck in unfulfilling job situations
feel trapped as new, higher-paying jobs are hard to find and
very competitive among candidates with similar background.
Evaluate whether your current position really a total loss.

explore your options for getting re-assigned to more
challenging roles

evaluate your career growth to date and determine
where your are in terms of your career goals

compete for internal leadership opportunities even if it
is in a different function

make an overall commitment to do and give your very
best until you can change jobs

COVER STORY
Ihuhwa Catherine Malulu
Be Inspired
Keep Chasing Your Dream
y name is Ihuhwa Catherine Malulu but my

friends call me Crocky which is a name that
has stuck with me since high school. I was
born in Hungary, but returned to Namibia
with my mom in 1989 just in time for
Namibias first democratic elections. My mother is a nurse and
my father an automotive mechanic. I come from a family of 7.
I studied in boarding from the age of 7 till I completed my
grade 12. Growing up, I thought my parents sent me off to
boarding school because they didnt love me. However, as I
grew older, I begun to understand the sacrifices they made
to give me a better education. I went to Peoples Primary
School from pre-school to grade 7, and then moved on to the
Windhoek Technical High School, where I majored in Fitting
and Turning. At the time, the idea of going to a technical
school seemed like a great idea because I grew up being told
that in our parents youth, one only had the option to be a
teacher, pastor or a nurse.
22
I excelled and at one point was the second best student

in Fitting and Turning. When I got to my final year in high
school, I realised that I had absolutely no desire to pursue a
career an engineering-related field. However, I was grateful
for the basics I had acquired. I did not proceed to university
immediately after completing my grade 12, I had to repeat a
subject I did not perform well in. The following year, I settled
on applying for a degree in Journalism as a first choice and
Land management as a second choice. Both didnt work
out and because time was running out, I eventually and
reluctantly settled for a Bachelors degree in Economics. What
initially seemed like a forced choice of study lead me to my
love for developmental issues.
This was reinforced by my econometrics lecturer at
the time Mr Clemence Chiduwa who suggested I pursue
development studies; he could see the passion I had for
development issues. From then on, I have been chasing that
dream. After graduation I was a bit nave and assumed that
Ihuhwa Catherine Malulu
I was going to land that perfect job at the Namibian National

Planning Commission and I will only need to focus on bettering
myself professionally. I wrong! That job never came my way and
so had to make adjustments.
Am I doing anything interesting at the moment? Do I love
what am doing?
I am currently pursuing a Masters degree in Sustainable
Development at Sustainability Institute through the University
of Stellenbosch. I joined a research group whose sole purpose
was to find solutions to the issues of informality that urban
cities face in the 21st century. Some of the work that the
group has done to date includes the iShack project, the
solar projects which are all ongoing in Enkanini, an informal
settlement in Stellenbosch, South Africa. All these efforts are
a clear indication of the potential that can be found on the
African continent, and the space in which I hope to navigate
my interests.
I want to be part of the solution in addressing the
challenges Africa faces and what better way to go about it than
by drawing inspiration from African locally developed projects.
Anything that makes me an African scholar with a story to
share: Passion for education, choice of things, my idea of
life in the 21st century
Ive had to make sacrifices to chase my dreams, like quitting
my job;- letting go of your salary is not easy. It wasnt easy,
although it seemed like a great idea at the time. I faced
challenges both academically and personal because I believe
that bad days and sleepless nights are all temporary states.
Coming from a small country like Namibia with a high
unemployment rate (including tertiary education holders),
one looks forward to a day when they can stop looking for
employment opportunities, instead be the ones to create
them.
Even with the countrys abundant in resources; we have a
high Gini co-efficient and high levels of corruption which is
COVER STORY
creating a huge gap between the rich and poor in Namibia. It is

time for our leaders to be held accountable for the things they
are currently contributing to or not addressing; corruption,
inequality, lack of housing and many other social problems. At
the rate we are going, they will continue to be problems for
generations to come unless we stand up and act. As young
people, we dont need or want a transfer of misery, we want a
country where all are treated equally, where financial freedom
should be standard, where the gap between the haves and
have nots is not growing but is minimised, and where young
people can be allowed to reach their full potential. This is
our continent, these are our countries and the future is in our
hands.
There have also been times when Ive felt that I have not
made the best of choices but I dust myself off and try again.
Make no mistake, I know as young people, it is easy to fall
victim to pressure of wanting quick money, usually without
hard work, but we also need to remember that just as easily
as it comes in it can easily disappear. Hard work pays, chasing
your dream is not easy, but the wait is worth everything at
the end of the day. The world can strip you of so many things
but it can never strip you of the knowledge and skills you
have acquired in life. Enjoying life is important, but getting
an education is more important. I chose education over
employment.
My greatest fear for most young people is that we do not
have guts over our fears. Remember Bob Marleys song? ...
emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves
can free our minds
What are my future plans/dreams?
My plan for the future is to establish a research institute and
help mentor and guide young Namibians who have a passion
for research. A huge knowledge gap exists in my country and
only Namibians, especially the still energetic ones that can fill
it. I want to help grow and inspire young people to chase after
their dreams by backing calculated risks.
Do I have a word for other African scholars?
It is good to have a passion and an education but also be
malleable to the opportunities that present themselves to
you. Get odd jobs and side hustles; just make sure its legal.
Moreover, success doesnt happen overnight and youre going
to stumble and hit bumps before you can claim everything is
smooth sailing. As young people, we need to start aspiring to
be our own bosses and future employers. The more players
in the economy, the better chances we have of bridging the
gap between the haves and have nots. But first, we must go
to school. Learn the tricks of the trade and participate with
influence.

Dartcom SA (PTY) LTD

Telecommunications Centre
Dartcom SA, a specialist distributor of fibre optic communications components, sub systems,
accessories, Wire and Cable Power Systems and Radio Frequency (RF), today announced the
opening of the Dartcom Telecommunications Learning Centre (DTLC).
raham Gamble, CEO

of Dartcom SA: The
unprecedented growth of
the telecommunications
industry has resulted in
considerable shortage of skill. The aim of
the DTLC is to provide a platform for skills
development. Special courses, aimed at
the telecommunication industry, will be
delivered at our new facility and should
result in improved employment outcomes
for individuals.
Government identified the ICT sector
as a key job driver, and the mere nature
of the telecommunications industry calls
for a high quality skilled workforce. If
the industry is going to see sustainable
ongoing growth; investment in training
is critical.
One of the courses that will be delivered
at the new DTLC is an Outside Plant
Civils course. We recognised the need for

standardisation of civil work and have
partnered with the FOA Africa and Triple
Play Training in the delivery of this course as
we believe that it is critical for the industry
to focus on outside plant work. However, in
order to ensure it is efficient we have built
an entire outside plant area where learners
have access to trenches, poles, man-holes
and hand-holes for practical experience
to our knowledge it is the only course of its
kind in Africa. he concludes.
Over the years, Dartcom has
progressively expanded its product
base and has recently added a whole
range of telecommunication access
and termination equipment as well
outside plant hardware and software
systems. Underlining the technology and
products, is a fundamental commitment
to client satisfaction and exceptional

The value add to all the afore
mentioned distribution activities is that
Dartcom has successfully transferred
technology via license agreements and
has absorbed this technology into its
own facilities for purposes of assembly,
manufacture, testing, product support
and quality management. As a result
Dartcom, in conjunction with its principle
agencies, is fully capable of supporting
of their products by means of R&D
development and level one, two and
three product support and maintenance.
It is also our intention to run a

Anti-cyber bullying software:

Practical research at its nest
When it come to innovation, being able to commercially
sell an invention is the ultimate goal of practical
research. This is called technology transfer the mark of
successful research inventions. When a researcher can
release his or her research to the public, it allows him
or her to actively contribute to the promotion of society
in one way or another. Khutso Bapela, a BSc Computer
Science graduate from the University of Pretoria, whose
company resides at the Universitys research partner, the
Innovation Hub, is one such inventor.
The Motswadi system

Bapela has successfully developed an anti-cyber bullying
application (app) aimed at helping parents of young children
in all South African communities to monitor their childrens
online activities to prevent them from becoming victims of cyber
bullying. The Motswadi system (meaning parent system) is a
specialised SIM card for modems and cellphones that is linked to
a downloadable app. The system enables parents to regulate the
online activities of children aged 9 to 15 in the overwhelming and
ever-expanding world of the internet and social media.
While studying towards his Computer Science degree, Bapela
started to play with the idea of developing a system that could
not only prove commercially viable, but also improve the lives of
South African communities at grassroots level. In todays digital
world, all facets of social life have moved into the digital space in
one way or another. While this shift is good in terms of education,
business and technology, it has made young children vulnerable
on a whole new level. Cyber bullying, as well as access to masses
of inappropriate and harmful information, poses a serious threat
to the wellbeing of young children both in South Africa and the
rest of the world.
The Motswadi system uses an app algorithm that wirelessly picks
up the specialised SIM card in a childs cellphone or modem.
The app enables parents to set up an internet prole for each of
their children that is tailored to each particular childs needs and
vulnerabilities. Standard age group settings determine the level
of protection that the system applies to a childs prole. Parents
can also customise these settings. The app can set time limits for
things like internet use and WhatsApp messaging, block searches
for certain keywords, blacklist and re-allow specic websites,
block selected apps and implement a web schedule. The system
also allows parents to monitor their childs internet activities,
SMSs, Facebook account notications and the childs location
(which is updated every 15 minutes).
Khutso Bapela is a BSc Computer Science graduate of the University of

Pretoria. He has established his own company at the Innovation Hub.
The way forward for the Motswadi system

The Motswadi system has been awarded a South African
provisional patent through the Innovation Hubs patent package.
A patent gives an inventor the right to make his or her invention
public without fear that it will be copied by someone else. This
patent provides Bapela with a further 12 months to safely
conduct further research and development to perfect the
system. Bapela intends to use this time to improve the systems
functionality and the apps interface. Bapela intends to license
the Motswadi system to mobile network providers in South
Africa and other countries on the continent. He has already
entered into conversations with leading South African network
providers to commercialise the system on home soil.
As a young inventor, Bapela serves as an inspirational role
model for prospective researchers and inventors. He is living
proof that there is no minimum age limit to innovative thinking
and a commitment to improving society.

Accountants
serve an essential role as business
scorekeepers and referees
Words By Steven Cohen , Managing Director of Sage Pastel
40
magine a high-stakes professional

rugby match where two teams
square up to each other with no
scoreboard to keep track of who is
winning and no referee to enforce
the rules of the game. Now multiply the
chaos that would come out of that freefor-all by ten and youll have some idea
of what the average business would look
like without its scorekeeper and referee the accountant.
Accountants are there to enforce
good corporate governance and ensure
regulatory compliance in the business.
They are the custodians of the safe
keys, the enforcers of the rules, and the
keepers of the records. Without them, a
business is at risk of leaking money and
breaking the law.
Here are four vital functions an
accountant should fulfil in a modern
enterprise.
1.Regulatory compliance and sound
business governance
Everything that happens in a business
is reflected in its financial records and
its bank accounts, hopefully under the
accountants eagle eye. When theres
fraud, corruption or bribery, it will show
up in the financial records. When theres
wasteful or unauthorised spending - for
example, extravagant entertainment or
travel expenditure - that will also turn up
in the accountants records.
But in addition to tracking the
financial history to make sure everything
is above board, the accountant is the
gatekeeper to your financial resources.
A stickler for rules and procedure, he
or she should ensure your businesss
money is spent according to company
rules and policies by putting a set of
financial checks and balances in place.
The accountant will also know which
rules and regulations you need to follow
in terms of your recordkeeping to stay in
the good books with SARS, auditors, and
regulators.
2. Performance management
The accountant keeps score according
to the most important metric - whether

of the rules, and the keepers of the records.
Without them, a business is at risk of leaking
money and breaking the law.
By Steven Cohen,
Managing Director of Sage Pastel
you are making or losing money. By

keeping track of revenues and expenses,
and profits and losses, the accountant is
able to help ensure that the business is
run in a sustainable manner.
He or she will keep track of expenses,
income, debt levels, interest payments,
tax payments, and so on, helping you to
make wise business decisions. Armed
with the knowledge about whether
youre hitting your targets or not, you
can make the necessary adjustments in
your business.
It is the accountants job to spot
trends in income and costs early, and
act on them. For example, if he or
she is worried about the costs of your
materials, you can start looking for
cheaper suppliers.
3.Resource allocation
Your business will have a limited
pool of cash flow, working capital, and
credit to work with as it grows. So, you
need accurate business information
when deciding how you will allocate
your funds to priorities such as human
resources, fixed equipment, inventory,
and so on.
Is it wiser to buy computers upfront
or to rent them? Could it be better to
invest in production capacity than to
hire an extra sales rep? What will happen
if you pay a loan off quicker rather than
taking advantage of a cash discount
for supplies each month? A good
accountant can help you to make these
decisions.
4.Planning and forecasting

Accounting isnt just about measuring
and understanding the past - its also
about making educated forecasts and
plans for the future. Your accountant can
help you to make projections about your
future revenues, operating costs, and
resource requirements so that you can
plan accordingly.
Closing words
Today, an accountant should do
more than help you meet governance
demands, but also help you manage
your cash flow and capital in a strategic
manner that will help you grow your
business. Governance is just the
foundation of a good business - what
you build in top of that in terms of
strategy and operations is what will set
you apart from your competitors.

One participant of the SayXchange programme is Japheth
Thole (22) who hails from Mala-wi. On exchange in Orange
Farm, Johannesburg, South Africa, hes experiencing the hustle
and bustle of a South African township.
A media and communications graduate, hes having a
good time working on Media Ys, loveLifes citizen journalism
programme at the Orange Farm loveLife Y-Centre (youth
cen-tre). loveLife is a cutting-edge, highly visible South African
organisation with a proven evi-dence-based record in reducing
HIV risk among youth. loveLife provides platforms for expanding youth leadership programmes and bridging the gap
between school and work for young people. It can assist them
to develop their leadership skills, realise their potential and
reduce their risk of contracting HIV.
Japheth also likes contributing to loveifes empowering
shows on local radio station Thetha FM. Im gaining a wealth of
knowledge for my career development, he says.
Hes also fulfilled by motivating youth to live positive
lifestyles and reach for their dreams through implementing
loveLifes sexual health and motivational programmes at the
Y-Centre and in schools.
Japheth adds that through SayXchange, hes learning
Sesotho and Zulu and meeting new people of different cultures
and nationalities. My mind has been sharpened and my perception of what I value in life and in Africa has been broadened,
he says.
Dr Andile Dube, loveLifes Executive Manager: Youth
Programmes, explains that the SayXchange programme
aims to encourage and support youth engagement in civic
affairs. Investing in youth is a starting point for sustainable
development as it produces valuable social returns. The
entire community benefits when families, communities and
institutions invest in the character, civic skills and leadership of
young people.
In their work as groundBREAKERs, the Zambian, Malawian
and Mozambican participants are implementing loveLifes
comprehensive healthy sexuality and positive lifestyle programmes in schools, youth friendly clinics, loveLife Y-Centres
and community-based organ-isations in the Mpumalanga,
North West, Free State, Gauteng and Limpopo provinces of
South Africa.
Some of them are engaging in Media Ys, while others are
organising loveLife Youth Festi-vals, offering sports, arts and
culture and debating activities. They are also organising Born
Free Dialogues (BFDs) where young people and their parents
discuss and find solutions to social challenges driving HIV
infections.
SayXchange participant Virginia Mwanza is based at the
Acornhoek loveLife Y-Centre in Mpumalanga and has enjoyed
facilitating BFDs on various topical issues. Originally from

Livingstone, Zambia, shes a Development Economist and

joined SayXchange as she want-ed to gain knowledge to
develop youth in her country.
Currently in the position of Caretaker Youth Centre
Coordinator at the Y-Centre, her work involves day-to-day
management of the centre and organising arts and culture
events to attract more youth to the centre.
The South African participants are also reaping the rewards
of the SayXchange programme. Tshidi Maphanga (21), who
worked as a loveLife groundBREAKER in Mpumalanga in
2010, is on exchange in Inhambane Province, Mozambique.
Inhambane is rich in coconuts but very poor in terms of
economy, she says. The whole land is dry and sandy and
there is no electricity in Homoine Village, where I live. Girls of
10 also wake up and already know what work to do without a
reminder.
Her biggest lesson has been that time waits for no man and
that procrastination is the thief of time because in Inhambane,
people dont take a single day off doing nothing.
Ive also seen just how resourceful people can be and to
make the most of resources around you, she says. The wood
and leaves from coconut trees are used to build houses. Ninety
five percent of houses are made of trees.
Once the exchange programme ends, she wants to develop
other young people, and make them see the importance of
community involvement and volunteering.
Berlinah Mpane (25), who hails from Hammanskraal, near
Pretoria in South Africa, is also on exchange in Mozambique.
Shes learning Portuguese and to take responsibility for
every-thing she does. I have also learned to adapt to different
situations and to integrate, she says. Its a great feeling to be
strong enough to handle things in a different country all by
myself. I am no longer afraid of all the things I once thought I
was afraid of. I was afraid of heights, water and I have overcome
all that. We had to cross the sea on a boat and thats when I
realised Im no longer afraid. I even went to the top of the boat
to see the whole view of the sea and it looked and felt so good.
When she returns home, she plans to implement what shes
learned into her broader community.
Through SayXchange, participants are learning the value of
regional integration, the true power of volunteering and just
how much can be gained from an exchange experience.

inspires young minds
his year, Sasol Techno X, the

largest career expo in the
country drew 20 023 learners in
its effort to inspire and enthuse
Grade 9-12 learners. Held
from 11-15 August 2014, the exhibition
attracted visitors from seven provinces and
learners from as far as Lesotho.
Techno X has been igniting young
minds since 2000 and since inception,
reached over 350 000 students. The
new venue, the Sasol ChemCity EcoIndustrial Park, allowed students to enjoy
the demonstrations, talks and modern
technology. The exhibition is a platform
for learners to engage with real world
application of their studies, focusing on
mathematics, science and technology,
while discovering the exciting world of
engineering.
At the opening ceremony, MEC for
Education, Tate Makgoe quoted the late
Nelson Mandela, Education is the most
powerful weapon which you can use to
change the world. He said, There is a gem
in every classroom and I hope that through
Techno X, more teachers are exposed to
mathematics, science and technology.
Together, we can make South Africa a
better place, he said.
MEC for Economic Development,

Enterprises, Msebenzi Zwane, said that he

was honoured to be part of the 14th Sasol
Techno X. A better education in science for
our children can also mean better things
for our country. It will develop our youth
into more responsible citizens, who will
help to build a strong economy, he said.
According to Wrenelle Stander, Senior
Vice President: Public and Regulatory
Affairs at Sasol, For 14 years, Techno
X showcases the value of science,
technology, engineering and mathematics
(STEM) brought to life for learners from
historically disadvantaged backgrounds.
STEM disciplines have proven essential in
the worlds leading countries and can help
us sustain a competitive advantage.
This year, the Sasol Techno X baton
was handed to Sasol Secunda, the proud
hosts of the 2015 expo making the expo
accessible to more students across the
country.
To add to the excitement of science and
technology, learners were encouraged
to enter the art, fashion show and school
science project competitions, where
entrants showcased their creativity within
the various categories.
The exhibition is not only enjoyed
by learners and Sasol, it extends to
organisations, such as Astronomy South
Africa, Eskom, the South African Police
Service and tertiary institutions. This year,

the winning exhibitors were;
