SPECIAL FEATURE: Clive Barker Can Fix Bafana Bafana

By Thandisizwe Mgudlwa



The South African Football Association (SAFA) must do the sensible thing and re-hire Clive Barker to coach Bafana Bafana again.

After a successful spell as the head coach of the SA's senior soccer men's team since early 1994 till his stepped in December 1997, a few months before defending his 1996 African Nations Cup glory on home-soil, Barker unceremoniously axed after the teams early exist in the Confederations Cup held in Saudi Arabia.

Bafana Bafana had qualified to play in the inter-continental tournament due to them being African Champions in 1996.

If Barker had stay on after his exist in December 1997, he would have been the first coach to coach Bafana Bafana to the 1998 Soccer Wold Cup in France. Barker had qualified South Africa to the world's greatest show.

Currently, Barker has just joined SA's Premier League outfit Maritzburg United.

In an newspaper interview in the early 2000s Barker admitted that he had to strike a deal with SAFA that he would resign instead of being fired.

But what is now clear is that Bafana Bafana are far away from being #No 1 in Africa and #No 16 world, which they had achieved under Barker coaching.

Also in 1996, under Barker, FIFA bestowed Bafana Bafana with an international award as the most improved team, a Best Mover of the Year.

All the other coaches have not achieved anything close to what Barker achieved.

Barker was a professional footballer in the 1960s, playing for Durban City and Durban United having made his debut at the age of 17. He had a trial with Leicester City, but a serious knee injury quickly ended his career.

"The Dog", as he is nicknamed, became a manager in the 1970s, coaching numerous clubs in South Africa, including Durban City, Manning Rangers,AmaZulu (Zulu Royals) and Santos Cape Town. In the 1980s he won championships with various teams.

During his club career he won two league championships and two league cups. He was one of the first white managers in the South African league.

In 2013, Barker took Wits University to forth spot of South Africa's highest league the PSL. He has won numerous awrds/honours and other many accolades.

Today, Bafana Bafana are 23 years old and are ranked #No 17 in Africa and 72 in the world. Clearly Barker was the best thing to have happened to Bafana Bafana and probably to South African soccer generally.

SAFA must do South Africa a huge favor return Barker to coach Bafana Bafana.

Bafana Bafana are still the pride of the nation.

Learn How Love Can Make You Rich

Hello,

As a young boy, my educated dad encouraged me to find a safe 9-to-5 paycheck.

Conversely, my rich dad encouraged me to begin acquiring assets that I loved. “If you don’t love it, you won’t take care of it.”

I collect real estate simply because I love buildings and property. I love looking for them, I love hunting for them, and I could look at them all day long.

When problems arise, the problems aren’t so bad that it changes my love for real estate.

I also love stocks of small companies (especially start-ups), because I am an entrepreneur, not a corporate drone.

I like starting companies, not running them.

Sometimes I even start the company and take it public. Fortunes are made in new stock issues, and I love the hunt.

Many people are afraid of small-cap companies, they call them risky, and they are.

But that risk is diminished if you love what the investment is, understand it, and learn to have fun in stocks.

You can learn the path to wealth using stocks, but only if you have a proper blueprint.

Begin Your 30-Day Cashflow Blueprint >>

For years, even while I was with the Marine Corps and Xerox, I did what my rich dad recommended.

I kept my day gig, while building my asset column investing in real estate and small stocks.

You don't need to choose one or the other.

You can keep your paycheck while building a path to wealth.

We all learn from someone, I wasn't an expert in stocks, that's why I have Andy Tanner. And now, SO DO YOU!

I am putting you in contact with my PERSONAL stock expert.

If you want to develop your financial intelligence, take Andy Tanner’s course 30-Day Cashflow Blueprint. Andy is my Advisor and an excellent teacher. Take a look at his course and see if it's right for you.

Africa: DHL Express to facilitate growth of SMEs in Sub Saharan Africa and empower them to connect globally

PRESS RELEASE

DHL Express to facilitate growth of SMEs in Sub Saharan Africa and empower them to connect globally

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, 30 September 2015/ --  DHL Express (http://www.dpdhl.com), the world’s leading express logistics provider, will launch its Growing Beyond Borders entrepreneurial training program in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) in the coming weeks – an innovative programme specifically designed to help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) understand the economic potential of international trade and the subsequent benefits to their businesses. The company will be launching the program in Botswana, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia and Mauritius in October 2015, followed shortly by South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana and Uganda. The program will be expanded to a further 16 markets across SSA before the end of the first quarter of 2016. Hennie Heymans, Managing Director for DHL Express SSA, says that as Sub Saharan Africa continues to emerge as a growth market, so will the continent’s attractiveness for business expansion. He adds that the stable GDP forecasts for the Sub Saharan Africa region (4.6% in 2016 and 5% 2017(1), coupled with a booming e-commerce sector will create significant opportunities for innovative SMEs to service online-savvy customers. “For example, in South Africa alone, the demand for online retail is growing rapidly, with significant opportunities existing to create cross-border e-commerce partnerships throughout Africa.” A recent report by Ipsos(2), on behalf of PayPal and FNB, revealed that the majority of South African online shoppers could be cross-border shoppers in the coming years. It also showed that up to 46% already shop outside of South Africa. Similarly, the research shows 30% of Nigerian cross-border shoppers (online shoppers who have made purchases online from another country) have purchased goods from South Africa in the past 12 months. He adds however that while local entrepreneurs are identifying expansion and growth opportunities across Africa, many simply do not have the know-how to capitalise on these. “Many SMEs develop a plan to grow their business internationally, but battle to turn this plan into a reality. Our Growing Beyond Borders program will provide practical guidance on how to make the most out of the opportunities available, and assist SMEs to grow and connect across Sub Saharan Africa.” The free of charge workshop model explores importing and exporting in new markets, provides guidance on how to find key geographical opportunities for the business’ specific products and services, as well as how to identify different marketing avenues and ways to build long-term relationships with their target customers for long term success. Heymans explains that the Growing Beyond Borders workshop is unique in that it was borne out of the same vein as the DHL Express Certified International Specialist (CIS) programme – an internal learning and development platform which has seen nearly 4,000 DHL employees in 51 countries in SSA and 100,000 employees globally, receive comprehensive training on the fundamentals of international shipping. “CIS equips our employees with the specialised knowledge they need to do their job competently and confidently. Similarly, the Growing Beyond Borders workshop seeks to pass on logistics knowledge to our customers, equipping them with expertise on growing their business across borders.” “We pride ourselves on being Certified International Specialists. DHL has been shipping across the globe since 1969, and the workshop takes entrepreneurs through the entrepreneurial history of DHL and lessons learnt from dealing with a multitude of customers along the way. DHL was founded by three far-sighted Californian businessmen, it was the potential of international trade they saw, coupled with a pioneering spirit and customer dedication focus, that has helped grow DHL into the world’s most international company,” adds Heymans. Since entering Africa in 1978, he says that the company has witnessed the continent develop into the emerging economic powerhouse it is today through continued foreign and local investment in the region. “SMEs are the lifeblood of the continent in stimulating continued economic activity, and we believe that by empowering SMEs to seize the numerous opportunities available to them, the African continent will continue to flourish,” concludes Heymans.  Distributed by APO (African Press Organization) on behalf of Deutsche Post DHL.
