JOHAN DU PREEZ,
managing director: Silo Warehouse
Van Tonder urged grain handlers to take these factors into consid-
eration by refraining from making use of transporters who do not
adhere to road regulations and overloading guidelines. ‘Transporters
who invest in technology and efficient human resources should be
allowed to charge a premium,’ he concluded.
Dr Theo de Jager (president of SACAU and of PAFU)
Through agriculture Africa has the land and soil, water, climate
and the producers, but it lacks value chains, financing, technology
and expertise. The effect of policy issues and also property rights
and financing remain a challenge to produce in Africa. Smallholder
farming is over romanticised and is a poverty trap. The only way to
eradicate poverty in Africa is by creating wealth.
Derek Watts (
Carte Blanche
)
As a seasoned presenter of this investigative journalism program-
me, Derek Watts shared an overview on his 29 years as a part of
the
Carte Blanche
team on the tail of crooks. He referred to the
spike in grain theft and specifically their exposing of maize outload-
ed at Schuttesdraai Silo in the Free State which ended up at silos in
Bronkhorstspruit rather than at its destination.
Adv Werner Bouwer (Nexus Forensic Services)
A macro problem in South Africa concerning ethical conduct is
impunity. This does not refer to whether the laws to govern corrup-
tion exist, but the fact that it is not applied. Ethics should be a grow-
ing and evolving focus in business culture – even in small businesses.
A healthy organisational culture is not about what you say, but
what you do.
How your employees perceive you responding to situations that
may harm the reputation of the organisation is what counts. In
the effective organisation model the emphasis is on cultural con-
trols and not on increasing the load of detailed systematic or super-
visory controls.
Kallie Kriel (Afriforum)
South Africans should create their own future, read the spirit of
time and familiarise themselves with the policies that governors
take, what they want to achieve and where they are heading. Expro-
priation of land without compensation may be catastrophic to the
country's economy. People will not invest if there is no respect for
ownership.
We must make sure we speak from a position of moral high ground
and are not repulsive to people. We have the right to fight for what
is fair. It is very important that we participate in the public debate
and put alternative ideas on the table. A prerequisite for success is
strong institutions.
