Why We Exist

2019-10-29T06:14:59+00:00

It was back in the youthful days in the rural village of Tshixwadza where I grew up with over 21 siblings.

The Environmental industry has been evolving and the call for alternative technology and operational models that reduces or minimise environmental challenges is growing. Such attempts of [...]

Public Participation can be effective

2019-04-04T05:11:58+00:00

South Africa has risen above many challenges South Africa has risen above many challenges and managed to produce highly knowledgeable people who are highly qualified. A lot has happened and freedom was attained mainly through public engagements and each community of industry had representatives whose efforts were to have their views on what they believe a better South Africa will do to their careers and anyone living in the country.

South Africa is a country with opportunities South Africa is a country with opportunities that are not easy to identify and tap into. The economy is struggling to create jobs and politics are not helping to stabilise confidence for investment and expenditure.

Each year budgets are allocated and government officials have KPIs and KPAs which are aligned to institutional visions. What happens in the middle [...]

The economic environment is changing. The shape of the economic environment is changing every day and people are unconsciously participating is change shaped by those leading.
