You speak with such conviction just utter nonsense. There's no truth to what you are saying, if by any chance the ANC looses the election, a new government can change that policy. Hence organisation's like the DA are campaigning on ending AA, BEE, and all other policies that were put in place by the ANC government. That's why political parties campaign to be able to change what they see as not working, as you know our country is on a tight budget, and the economy is not growing. Where do you think the first budget cuts will come from? NSFAS, GRANTS, JOBS, to name just a few. Sugezela abantu apha ngobuxoki.

I've shared my thoughts with Visionest Institute on why a company's #reputation is an underrated asset with long-term benefits. Often, the focus is solely on #sales and #advertising, but lasting #marketing success requires much more. This article is in Estonian, so if you understand the language, feel free to check it out! 👇

Harry Nicolas Unveils Corn Farm Project to Tackle Haiti’s Food Shortages. | WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: Harry Nicolas, also known as Met Fey Vet, recently revealed a significant corn farm project in Haiti during a meeting with economist Etzer Emile. The project spans multiple regions, including a 10-hectare plot in Katye Morin, 50 hectares in Dumas, 130 hectares in St-Michele de l’Attalaye, 140 hectares in Petit-Goave, and 65 out of 200 hectares currently farmed near the Ouanaminthe canal. This expansive scope reflects the project’s commitment to making a substantial impact on Haiti’s agricultural landscape. Alarmed by the looming threat of food shortages, Harry Nicolas and Alix St Franc joined forces to promote local corn consumption. Their efforts garnered enthusiastic support from the Haitian Diaspora, who early contributed $300,000 to the project, even before its full structuring. Investors anticipate earning 25-30% of project profits, with volunteer landowners expecting returns of 10-25%. Under the leadership of Harry Nicolas and oversight of Alix St Franc, the project operates under the Consortium Met Fey Vet. Notably, the project prioritizes corn cultivation, with sweetcorn maturing in about 2 months and dry maize taking 4 months to mature for machine processing, offering greater economic viability due to its versatility. A the 10-hectare site can be harvested by 50 farmers, earning daily wages and food expenses totaling 1,250 HTG ($9.3). Work shifts run from 6 to 10 am to mitigate the effects of intense heat, ensuring a conducive working environment for laborers. Beyond its immediate economic benefits, the project empowers local communities and contributes to the overall stimulation of Haiti’s economy. Corn, as a highly versatile raw material, holds significant potential for various products in both Haitian and international cuisine. // Credits : Etzer Emile | Rendez-vous Économique Harry Nicolas #sustainability #communityempowerment #localproduction #haiti #argriculture #corn #maize #cornfarm #economy

A very concerning topic that cannot be overlooked! An article in Äripäev about employee exploitation emphasizes the need to pay great attention to labor relations. Representing the staffing company, we find it important to comment on this. Today, we spoke with our CEO Dmitri Burov about his thoughts on this matter. Dmitri emphasized that recently there has been a huge influx of careless one-day companies entering the labor market. We are compelled to warn all job seekers and partner companies and remind them how to prevent this unpleasant situation. To avoid collaborating with dishonest staffing companies, we recommend paying attention to the following points: 1. Conduct a thorough background check on the company: check annual reports, number of employees, tax payments, and average salary (this data is available at www.teatmik.ee (http://www.teatmik.ee/)). 2. Evaluate the company's reputation. Pay attention to reviews from other companies and employees, assess the company's website, presence on social networks, customer reviews and recommendations, and information about the team. 3. Ensure that a clear service agreement is concluded between your company and the staffing company. 4. Ensure that a correct contract is signed between the staffing company and each employee. These recommendations by Dmitri will help you to avoid unpleasant situations and take advantage of all the benefits of collaborating with labor staffing companies. Be aware that the main goal of staffing agencies is to ensure the safety and transparency of labor relations for all parties involved. #workplacesafety #laborrelations #mediationagency #companyrelationship #companyvalues #customervalues #reputation #carelesscompanies  #laborrecruitment #staffingcompany

Follow-up to the recent proposal about the idea of undersea power cable between Estonia and Sweden. Recap in English: If TSOs are not interested, then electricity market players can build such cable themselves according to the EU regulations. This has been the case also with Estlink1 power cable 20 years ago, when Fingrid refused to build the cable in the first instance and power suppliers made it happen.

💡During the negotiations on the Climate Resilient Economy Act, the road construction enterprises were most vocal on asking to increase the number of green tenders. The state and local governments have a great influence on the market as ca 96% of roads are constructed through public tenders. ➡️One of the main aims has been to partially substitute bitumen in asphalt mixtures with other materials. ✔️And now, for the first time, Estonian Transport Administration is installing an asphalt mixture with lignin on a road section. The purpose of using lignin is to reduce the environmental footprint of the asphalt mixture.

"Is it legal?" - "It depends." This Einsteinian "everything is relative" answer is suitable for almost all legal questions. In addition, it's recommended to throw in a few more disclaimers about the correctness of the answer, and there you have it — a typical lawyer's response. Always correct. 🙃 I explained this short answer in detail to Delfi Business Pages, who asked whether the apartment association has the right to prohibit parking for tenants. Unfortunately, there is no "yes" or "no" answer to this yes-or-no question, which is why the "it depends" had to be used this time.
