request and small fee and it don’t take months to get it either. Some are on the

               Internet  available  within  minutes.  You  are  also  entitled  to  the  original
               documents. Not copies and it is not expensive to get them for you at all. Don’t
               let  the  locals  tell  you  otherwise.  They  are  either  lazy  or  incompetent  or

               scamming you.


               Never condone confusion

               Probably  the  biggest  point  here  is  confusion.  I  must  warn  you  about  confusion

               for  it  is  a  well-known  method  to  scam  you.  Mostly your own managers will be

               guilty of this which is sad. The more confusion the more the ability to steal is our
               motto.  Thus  no  confusion  is  ever  allowed  and  that  is  done  by  good

               administrative  skills.  It  is  the  same  all  over  the  world  and  there  is  no  reason
               which I can think of why confusion should reign in the first place for we have all

               the  computer  support  and  software  you  have  in  your  own  country.  After  all  a
               filing system is worldwide the same. Don’t drop your standards just because you

               are in Africa.

               You  know  money  buys  the  whisky  and  what  walks?  Even  in  Africa.  So

               apply it in your contracts.


               Please  ensure  your  African  partner  also  put  money  in  the  kitty  for  some
               countries  do  demand  by law that you have a local African partner. It is part of

               the social responsibility drive and I can tell you that by law you will never obtain
               any  contracts  from  the  South  African  Government  without  a  majority  black

               shareholder  in  your  company.  That  means  black  women,  then  black  men  and
               then perhaps white women but that is under threat.  Black means non-white.


               Point  being  that  white  men  doesn’t  feature  in  business  with  the  government
               under these rules so if anyone sells you a business shareholding be very careful

               and  make  sure  about  the  race  of  the seller. I know it sounds strange and it is
               inherently  unfair  to the white man. But it is also allowed by the Constitution to

               re-adjust  the  past  inequalities  or  so  the  liberals  say.  This  policy  and  crime

               caused almost two million white people to emigrate in the last twenty years and
               I  believe  the policy will never change or not in the foreseeable future.         Since I
               don’t work for governments in principle it does not affect me much. But you may



                                                                                                       171
