ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba notes there is an urgent need to address tertiary education funding, alongside reforms to the country's institutions of learning, to "fix the country". Mashaba was speaking during a press conference on Tuesday, held at Gordon Institute of Business Science in Johannesburg, where he committed that an ActionSA government would significantly expand and improve access to a variety of post-matric opportunities, whether through traditional academic routes in universities, or via colleges dedicated to technical skills and vocational training. He said institutions such as the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) have been plagued with corruption allegations as thousands of students go homeless or without food. "Tertiary institutions across the country suffer from maladministration and our very own Ministers face allegations of buying their degrees, thereby reducing the credibility of South African qualifications. And, our centres of higher learning fail to address the critical skills shortage currently facing South Africa, from software developers to engineers and scientists," he said. Mashaba said while his party worked towards growing the economy through its plan for economic prosperity, it would achieve its goal of ensuring that no academically qualified student was excluded from further education through aggressive reprioritisation of the national Budget away from wasteful expenditure such as State-owned enterprise (SOE) bailouts and VIP security. He said his party would ensure that student funding was a top priority, ahead of any government expense. "Combined with reforms to NSFAS alongside the introduction of our Opportunity Fund, we can remove barriers to funding access for all South Africans. And with the establishment of ActionSA's one-of-a-kind Opportunity Fund, we will ensure that public funds that currently go to enriching entrepreneurs are used to empower the young people of South Africa," he promised. The Opportunity Fund will radically expand access to tertiary education by not only funding students, but also building new higher education facilities. Mashaba believes South Africa's higher education centres are in crisis, while too many students are prohibited from accessing tertiary education owing to financial exclusion. Mashaba said despite repeated promises and investigations into higher education funding, government had made little progress in expanding access to higher education. "It is simply unacceptable that 30 years after democracy students are excluded from obtaining a tertiary education because they lack the funds. Not while our government wastes billions on propping up failing SOEs and allows limited public funds to be stolen by self-interested cadres," he said. ActionSA believes that quality education is one of the best tools for empowerment and it will improve lives. "That is why we have committed that under an ActionSA government, no academically qualifying student will be excluded from further education because they lack the funds to study," he emphasised. EXPANDING ACCESS TO FURTHER EDUCATION Mashaba explained that his party will expand access to further education not only by removing financial barriers, but through a comprehensive plan to address the institutional failures of the higher education system. He admitted that this would not happen overnight, saying ActionSA believed that government had a responsibility to be transparent about what was possible. "I say this because while it is our dream that one day we can introduce fee-free education for all students, we must accept the reality we face as a country that suffers from low economic growth, a declining tax base and sustained unemployment of over 40%," he said. He said ActionSA planned to increase financial support to academically qualifying students, including tuition, accommodation and living expenses, and also expand its network of quality institutions of higher education to alleviate capacity constra...

His current focus is ensuring solid business results in a very complex European network with many languages and unionized workforce, while in an industry heavily impacted due to Covid.

ITEK tracks the Solactive Innovative Technologies Index, an index of leading companies that are driving innovation in sectors from robotics to entertainment. We delve into how the fund captures the megatrends emerging from the Fourth Industrial Revolution, exploring the fund's composition, its geographical diversification and the rationale behind its equal-weighting approach and strategic avoidance of over-exposure to FAANG stocks. Anthony walks us through the carefully selected megatrends and their sub-themes, highlighting the explosive potential of AI in tech and its impact on various sectors. He also emphasises the growth potential of themes such as genomics, becoming more mainstream after COVID, and online gaming, an industry which has now surpassed Hollywood in size and which, in the future, could potentially converge with cloud computing and social media, as recent deals such as Microsoft's acquisition of Activision could suggest.Before founding GinsGlobal in 2000, Anthony served as Director at Barclays. He is originally from South Africa and holds a Bachelor of Business Science and CPA certificate from the University of Cape Town.

As a walking billboard, his experience has inspired a case study about resilience written by Dr @Frank Magwegwe, Ph.D. from Gordon Institute of Business Science.

Mr. Yinka Ogunleye (Yinka) is an adept and passionate leader in Strategy and Planning with over two (2) decades of experience; dedicated to driving innovation and results across multi-company structured organizations in the Energy, Oil and Gas industry. He has proven ability with broad exposures to manage strategy and planning processes, nurture the growth of business through development of company objectives, targets and performance aspirations. He has exposures covering Oil Exploration, Oil Production and Gas Businesses in the upstream and midstream sectors.   He started his career as a Database Administrator, Financial Systems with Pan Ocean Oil Corporation Nigeria Limited. His career had since traversed Information Technology, Business Development, Technical and Commercial functions. He had the coordinating role of Strategy Development across six (6) business arms of a Group, spanning upstream Oil and Gas, Energy development, Pipeline, Gas Processing and Monetization. He joined Amazon Energy Group in 2020 as Vice President New Ventures, and Group Head Strategy and Planning. In these roles he was among several functions coordinating the Strategy and Planning programs and initiatives for incubating projects through creative commercial arrangements; developing new business opportunities and partnerships; and superintending over the Group's corporate strategy, planning and performance program. Yinka holds a Bachelor's degree in Zoology and a Master's Degree in Computer Science from the Lagos State University, Ojo. He obtained a Post-Graduate Diploma in Information Technology at the Federal University of Technology, Akure. He also obtained an MBA from the Lagos Business School, and was on exchange program to the IESE Business School, University of Navarra, Barcelona, Spain where he earned a certificate in Entrepreneurship and Competitive Strategy. He is a certified Project Management Practitioner, Balance Scorecard Professional and Performance Management Practitioner. He has been doing his Doctoral studies where he is currently researching on Innovation and Responsible Leadership at the Gordon's Institute of Business Science, South Africa. He holds a Certificate Business Analytics at the Harvard Business School. Yinka is an entrepreneur. He is the founder of a start-up called Riba-x(www.riba-x.com), a Search, Connect and Communities platform for small businesses and communities of shared interests. He also runs AtriumData Solutions and Services Limited, a Strategy and Project Consulting company Yinka is also currently into Agri-business, where he is developing a Palm Oil plantation and Pig Farm. Key Takeaways   1. You can still reach your end-goal even if you're traveling a different path - Yinka was always passionate about IT growing up. He had a computer scientist father and learned coding languages like C++ and worked with databases. He wanted to pursue a degree in Computer Science but unfortunately, didn't make the cut. Yinka instead pursued a degree in Zoology yet he still managed to land a IT role post-graduation. 2. Don't be afraid to branch out - After learning Zoology, specializing in genetics and working various roles in the IT field, Yinka went to pursue an MBA in Business and tackled his entrepreneur side. Exploring your interests and diversifying your knowledge is a great way to live a fulfilling life.  3. Mentor and mentee relationships can have different forms - For Yinka, the mentor-mentee dynamic involved his mentor asking questions and probing his (the mentee's) thoughts rather than providing advice directly. This pushed Yinka to either mull over his mentor's prompts or provide an answer to his mentor's questions, causing him to engage in deep thinking. Today, Yinka and his mentor are as close as brothers.  4. Entrepreneurship can be a lonely journey - Entrepreneurship can be extremely gratifying but it also comes with its ups and downs. Yinka founded “Dago” with his good friend, now turned business partner. Unfortunately, the company hit a brick wall and the business relationship between Yinka and his friend fell apart. Today, Yinka repackaged the idea of Dago and turned it into a new project called “Riba-x.”   5. Ensure you derive pleasure from what you do - Whether it's through your job, hobbies or relationships, make sure that what you are investing in brings you joy. If you pursue things that you derive pleasure from, you're more likely to feel content with it despite any drawbacks. Applying this to a career, if you are doing something you love every single day, eventually money comes second to your happiness.

On this podcast I'm very excited to be interviewing someone I respect a great deal. My sister, Nicola, has accomplished some amazing feats. She is hard working, diligent, intelligent and easy to get along with. After earning her Honours in Business Science she embarked on a journey to Scotland working as an investment banker. She moved to London and shortly thereafter, qualified as a Chartered Accountant. Once completed, Nicola went on a round the world travel, which included fantastic places like the Galápgos Islands and Antarctica.Once her trip ended in Cape Town, she began her 3rd career and qualified as a commercial pilot at 43 Air School in Port Alfred.Her adventures as a commercial pilot and CA, led her to flying in the Okavango Delta, flying C206 from Maun, Botswana, to the many small lodges. Wild tales of chasing lions off the runway and being blocked by elephants are some of the many adventures of Nicola's life.Join me on this conversation, as she has now settled down as an airline pilot with Virgin Australia, flying Boeing B777 on international routes.View this live interview on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wx-sOEXyOGA&t=89sGet in touch with Alex: Email: alex@alexmacphail.co.zaTwitter: https://twitter.com/AlexMacPhail1LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/flyingmogulWebsite: www.alexmacphail.co.za
