@faithtugge@dramadelinquent@ZizinjaAbelungu Its not, a Mayor of Johannesburg is very senior. Experience is gained at lower roles. It would help is someone was a councilor or MMC before being considered mayor of a metro like JHB.
General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, what you did for us can never be undone. You’ve opened many eyes. You’ve revived our fighting spirit. They tried to tarnish your name, it never worked. God’s light is on you. May your family and bloodline be divinely protected FOREVER.
Innovation isn’t a single event, it’s a value chain. From research & IP to funding, commercialisation & market access. As such, RSA must apply systems thinking so innovation moves beyond labs & policies to jobs, industries & inclusive growth. #TIA#Innovation
Today we began the #NationalDialogue on #Innovation, in line with @dstigovza Matra of placing STI at the centre of Government, Education, Industry & Society.Our partnership with #SETAs can elevate SAs NSI to new heights and I look forward to implementing the dialogue’s outcomes.

@mteton You are engaging in the wrong debate, my good Sir. Equity Equivalent Investment Programmes (EEIPs) have long existed and while their overall effectiveness remains contested, that is not the core issue here.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of the ICT SMME Chamber Membership Portal in partnership with EPF Innovation Campus! This innovative platform is designed to empower and support ICT SMMEs across South Africa.
