Dan's working on a crush this week (apologies Sarah), as we dig into crunchy chords, excited grunts and more examples on the piano in this plea by Waits to a wandering love. Personal and instrumental yearning, the interplay between flaws and personality, as well as the shift from "And I" to "But You're" in the lyrics all get some vigorous debate. website: songbysongpodcast.com twitter: @songbysongpod e-mail: songbysongpodcast@gmail.com Music extracts used for illustrative/review purposes include: Please Call Me, Baby, The Early Years vol 2, Tom Waits (1993) Walking In The Rain, Be My Baby: The Very Best of the Ronettes, The Ronettes (1964/2011) We think your Song by Song experience will be enhanced by hearing, in full, the songs featured in the show, which you can get hold of from your favourite record shop or online platform.

「私を本当の名前で呼んでください」Please Call Me by My True Namesという詩が、怒りにまみれ凍りついていた私の心を、優しく溶かし扉を開かせてくれたことがありました。、行動する仏教を提唱し、難民救済、非暴力とマインドフルネスを広めている人権運動家の禅僧ティク・ナット・ハン師は、あなたは一つの庭だと教えます。この庭に帰って、庭を世話する方法を身につけて、初めて他の人の庭の手入れを手伝うことができますと。

Wits Radio Academy — Big companies are often been accused of bullying tactics in handling claims. In today’s show, we unpack business ethics in disputes and look into the topical issue of the #PleaseCallMeSaga and how it has played out over the years. To this effect, Hlengiwe Zondo, the presenter, spoke to Nkosana Makate, the founder of Please Call Me to get his version of the story and Vodacom sent us their press release detailing their stance. The show however starts, with the business index, where in relation to the topic, we looked into business ethics books to equip one with the knowledge and skills required to understand ethics in business and various professions.

In his brilliant book, The End of Power, author Moises Naim wrote that the likes of innovative startups, loosely organised activists, upstart citizen media and charismatic individuals who come from nowhere are shaking up the old order. “These are the micropowers,” he wrote, “small, unknown or once negligible actors that have found ways to undermine, fence-in or thwart the megaplayers……” Naim’s treatise is hugely respected. In 2015, The End Of Power was Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s inaugural pick in his “Year of Books challenge” where he challenged his community to join him in reading one book every two weeks for an entire year. It was also listed as a Financial Times Book of the Year in 2013. The powerful messages embedded in the book are being felt around the world, including in South Africa where mobile phone giant continues to battle against a now 42 year old former employee over his idea that the company applied 18 years ago. Kenneth Nkosana Makate fits the bill of the unknown activist who perfectly fits the micropower description, For context, while in his early 20s, he had the bright idea of a call-me-back SMS service. Makate shared the concept with his ultimate boss, then Vodacom CEO Alan Knott-Craig, who later claimed to have come up with the idea himself. Makate has steadfastly refused to be fobbed off. He laid a charge against his former employer and took the matter to court, winning a judgement in 2014 that found he was indeed the inventor of the concept, in the process destroying a reputation that Vodacom’s founder Knott-Craig had built over decades. When that judgement refused to sanction a payment on the grounds of prescription (where debts expire if three years old) Makate took his plea to the highest court in the land. In a landmark judgement in 2016, the Constitutional Court found in Makate’s favour, ruling that Vodacom should indeed pay reasonable compensation to him for the invention. For the last two years the parties have been wranging about the quantum - how much Makate should be paid. Vodacom admits to having made an initial offer of R10m, which Makate rejected. Media reports say the company upped that to R49m. Again Makate says it is not enough. The ante was upped this week when a group of activists calling themselves the Please Call Me movement – after the name of the concept – picketed Vodacom’s head office. Their protest, well covered by the media, focuses on the demand that the company pay Makate R70bn, the equivalent of the company’s last six years of profits. From the Arab Spring to France’s Yellow Jackets; Brexiteers to the Catholic Church in the DRC, everywhere we see evidence of the changing power equation written about so eloquently by Maises Naim. Vodacom’s rearguard action against an activist portrayed as a folk hero has lessons for every business – and, indeed, for those who invest in them. company called a press conference this morning to address the latest developments.
There’s no doubt Kenneth Nkosana Makate is celebrating Workers’ Day in style following a South African Constitutional Court judge ruling that Vodacom owes him a big fat cheque for profiting from his Please-Call-Me idea for well over a decade. This brings to a close Nkosana’s 15-year legal battle with the mobile network. Or does it? In this episode of the African Tech Round-up, Tefo Mohapi and I unpack this landmark case and speculate over just how much Nkosana’s legal team might gun for in terms of compensation. We also try and determine whether the case is a good example of how “the little guy” can in fact triumph over a mighty giant, or whether Nkosana’s investor-backed victory is proof that justice might still be reserved for Africa’s well-heeled elite.

Contradictions and oppositions abound this episode, as Alice makes her departure from Sam and Martin. Discussion centers on the politics of pet names, social compromise and... some more ridiculous stuff too. Who will our next guest host be? Have we jumped the shark on interval tracks? Where will Alice be drinking tonight?!?
