Patience please?

I had a blog a year ago and somebody stole my name and just added an S to it...  I was disheartened and haven't done anything for at leat 9 months so have to get back into it...

I hope you find my posts interesting.

Lunch with Clem Sunter

May News   Up to the minute, informative and enjoyable. Relax with a delicious luncheon at a top restaurant. A great speaker is the ‘cherry on top’.      Clem Sunter is joining us to give us our annual update!       The World & South Africa 2012 Latest Scenarios, Flags and Probabilities      Where:   Buitenverwachting Restaurant When: Wednesday, 16 May 2012 Time: 12h00 for 12h30 (starts promptly) Speaker: Clem Sunter         For many years, Chairman of Anglo American’s Chairman’s Fund, Clem Sunter is arguably the world’s top scenario planner and leading strategist.     In the late 1980's Clem put together a presentation entitled ‘The World and South Africa in the 1990’s – the two scenarios he offered for South Africa; the ‘High Road’ of negotiation, leading to a political settlement and the ‘Low Road’ of confrontation, leading to a civil war and a wasteland. It is no secret that South Africa took the High Road, leading to worldwide acknowledgement and respect. The scenarios change dramatically both internationally and in South Africa.
