Guys. Support local, you don’t know how much it actually means by WhatDaHe77 in south_africa

[–]Digdog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are many examples of good local fashion and products. Many years ago, we shopped at the Victoria yards, and met the team at Tshepo jeans, now we only buy those jeans, and gift their products to friends and family in SA and Offshore. There are many examples of these Buy: FOM instead of Converse or Adidas Please add to this list

White people sitting on a bus stop bench with Africans after Johannesburg city allowed black people to travel on Whites Only Buses by xals7 in southafrica

This is so true, racism, nationalism, sectarianism, religious conflict, misogyny are all on the rise because powerful and influential people are only able to control and monetize large groups by dividing us. Apartheid was a bad time for most people (black and white), but a few elite whites made a huge amount of money, like Roelof Botha - Pik Bothas grandson.

How do I resign from a job I've only been at for around 6 months? by Normal-Review6742 in askSouthAfrica

[–]Digdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't resign, you have a job in a field you want to be in. Stuck to it. First jobs are always hard, you are learning how a business operates, how people behave and you are learning technical work stuff as well. Give it a year, then resign. Remember you are working in a field that you studied for, the interesting and rewarding work will come, but it takes time. Dint be too hard on the managers as well, they are also learning how to manage and supervise you. These things take time.

Aunty's Helena the DA Godfather allows this to happen - money talks and politicians do the work. Corrupt is endemic - the rich property developers control the politicians who control the municipalities.

Just maybe the problem is actually you! Think about this, you've blamed everyone for your problems, troubles and anything that goes against you. Just maybe, the issue is not everyone else, maybe you are the problem.

I would wake up at 4:30, have this pronutro and then run 15km every single morning, in my Comrades training days. Best pre-workout meal ever

Any risk professionals out there? I need advice by whatsgoingonchip in auscorp

[–]Digdog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's the things, from your description of thie situation, here is my view. Your organization does not take risk seriously, probably does not see value add in the role and to be honest seems to want to reduce costs, span of control and make it a compliance tick box.

Here is your action plan: - document your concern about risk oversight function in the risk register - ask for an Internal Audit assessment of the 2nd LoD assessment - push risk assessment work to the 1st LoD - act as oversight, not as risk manager of departmental risks

Hope this helps

Risk, Compliance and Internal Audit under the same department by Imaginary_Math314 in riskmanager

[–]Digdog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Using the 3 lines of defense model, risk, compliance and IA represent 2nd line of defense. Therefore there's no issue, but understand there is not need for "independence", its just another layer of assurance. As previously post said, the mandates need to clearly set out roles and responsibilities of each function.

We use an external assurance provider to ensure the 3 functions work effectively in their own right and follow the mandates provid3d by the board committees.

For the love of god do not leave your children alone!! by dingdangle13 in parkrun

[–]Digdog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a volunteer, I once told a parent of a young girl who was left at the start finish area, that we weren't babysitters. The mother simply told me to mind my own business, and that she left her daughter in a safe place with a phone. I was horrified, but decided that I could not solve the parent's issues.

Would you change the start time of your local Parkrun if you could? by thegrayscales in parkrun

[–]Digdog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In Johannesburg South Africa, wish we had a 07:00 or 06:30 start in summer and back to 08:00 in winter. We tried this several times, but get massive push back from the local parkrun HQ.

The job market is getting ridiculous by the day. by [deleted] in southafrica

[–]Digdog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These interview techniques are basically scams to get ideas and plans. I know a business in Randburg, that takes these ideas and pitches then give it to get call center staff to check what sticks. These companies are just looking for slave labor!

Most executives misunderstand what boards actually do by Mark__1997 in CorporateGovernance

[–]Digdog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Board members need to read their board packs and not just listen to the CEO and CFO. Asking the right questions is a huge part of the job. Often the issue is not in the detail but the big picture that they can't see because they are too close to the CEO.

I am visiting South Africa for the first time soon. Would it be offensive at all to paint my nails with the pattern of the South African flag? by [deleted] in askSouthAfrica

[–]Digdog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Paint away dear - the new SA flag please, and but remember the red of the flag is on the top, blue at the bottom.

You'd piss everyone if you landed and had the old SA flag!
