SOUTH AFRICA COSATU

So strongly in fact that it issued a separate

addendum to the statement just to tackle this

issue. It hit out at Gordhan, and just about

everyone else who has entered the fray

on the side of those who want to "furtherexploit the workers".

There was plenty about he who won't be

singled out, but you'll have to read further to

get to that.

Because crucially important is that Cosatu

now believes the Constitution needs to be

changed to speed up land reform. It's about

clause 25, the property clause, that, depending

on who you vote for, protects the lawfulownership of property, or perpetuates an

apartheid economy. For Cosatu, of course, it's

the latter. For it's secretary‐general Zwelinzima

Vavi, this is "not just about land, it's an

2,7C."32#5%244.7/%",*%<7%"'7%H3"52,@%<2#-%+'7%

here". His point, and you've heard it before, is

that we cannot go on having the rich and poor

3$$D2,@%"#%7"8-%$#-7'%#-'$.@-%7378#'2+7*%&7,874/%

we need some real meaningful change. Of

course, he's right, it's the how you do it that we

"33%+@-#%":$.#=%

But Cosatu, unlike some, is quite pragmatic

in it's approach. It's careful about changing the

Constitution, in fact, it understands why there

would be strong, principled opposition to doing

so. So it's open to other suggestions about how

to get around this problem.

Now onto the fun part. You know who

we mean. Last Friday, Cosatu said it wasn't@$2,@%#$%8$((7,#%$,%#-7%*2482H32,"'5%"`"2'4%

of an individual. Well, they tried to contain

themselves on Thursday, but battled a little.

First there was a lament that "some elements

in the Youth League use their power to

blackmail leaders". The point is that essentially

the league has been saying to ANC leaders, if

you don't back our policies "you won't see the

light of day in Mangaung". Cosatu's point isthat you must win people over through force

of argument, not through force of blackmail.

Cosatu also strongly endorses the ANC's

resolution on discipline from its national

general council (NGC) last year. That's a coded

way of saying that discipline is a good thing.

There was even a comment that "we want to see

decisiveness from ANC leaders on matters of

discipline". Of course all of this was "not about

individuals" at all. You get the drift.

Now to a crucial question. Six weeks ago, in

response to a question, Vavi looked the political

hack pack in the eye and said, "there is a battle

underway for the soul of the ANC, and I don't

For Cosatu, of course, it's the latter. For it'ssecretary-general Zwelinzima Vavi, this is

"not just about land, it's an inequality issue,

and we are playing with fire here".



D,$<%<-$;4%@$2,@%#$%<2,q=%A-7%+@-#%$&%8$.'47%

is between Cosatu and the SACP on one side,

and that person and his League on the other.

>$%#-7,%'",%(5%C.74#2$,/%q-$<%24%#-"#%+@-#%

looking now?" The answer was very revealing.

Vavi started by talking about tenderpreneurs,

and then came the money byte, "the majority

of South Africans will not allow the country to

be pulled in this direction, even in Mangaung,

I don't believe the delegates we saw at the NGC

will say it's okay to allow this."

So, it really does seem that something has

shifted, that Cosatu is happier now than it was

six weeks ago. There's only been one big event

since then, so clearly it now has what it wanted.

Happiness rules the land in a workers paradise.

Except. Cosatu's central executive committee(CEC) is stressing unity. Way too much. There

was a whole section in the written statement

":$.#%-$<%7E7'5$,7%24%.,2+7*=%?,*%#-7,%8"(7%

the kicker. The CEC has a rule that unions and

their members are not allowed to talk about

succession. That's not ANC succession, that's

Cosatu succession. Vavi had said previously

his term that ends next year would be his last,

",*%#-"#%D28D7*%$`%4$(7%47'2$.4%4H78.3"#2$,=%%

There's also been talk of a bit of a bust‐up

between the miners and the steel‐workers over

who will take over.

If you get a sense of deja vu, well that's

because it was just three days ago that the

ANC's national executive committee made

"%42(23"'%'.32,@=%F#%4("8D4%$&%H.##2,@%$`%#-7%

inevitable. And while Cosatu has a fairly solid

history of managing these issues well, things

they are a‐changing, as the ANC could tell you.

This issue is probably in hand for the moment,

but it needs to be watched closely. It could be

leading to something.

But for now everyone is focused on someone

else. Even though his name wasn't mentioned atCosatu House at all yesterday. But Vavi couldn't

resist one little jibe. While refusing to give any

8$((7,#%"#%"33%$,%#-7%244.7/%$o82"335/%-7%*2*%

let slip that "I looked through the newspaper

cuttings of Tuesday’s ANC press conference,

and, I smiled".

And who can blame him.

SOUTH AFRICA COSATU

the country to be pulled in this direction, even inMangaung, I don't believe the delegates we saw

arica libya

In a little display of semantic gymnastics

South Africa requested that references to

Libya's national transitional council, or the

rebels, be removed from the proposal itself and

be replaced instead with “relevant authority”.South Africa’s initial refusal to agree to the US-

backed proposal was couched in concern that

an agreement to channel funds to the NTC

amounted to recognising the Benghazi-based

group as the legitimate representatives of the

Libyan people while removing specic mention

of the NTC allows South Africa to continue

along its path of measured caution on the war

in Libya.

South Africa and the African Union (AU)

have still not recognised the NTC as the

legitimate government of Libya .Well-placed

sources speculate that upon the conclusion of

the AU peace and security council meeting in

Addis Ababa on Friday, the African Union and

South Africa will admit that Muammar Gadda

is no longer the legitimate representativeof the Libyan people. It is also believed the

AU and South Africa will take steps towards

recognising an interim government in

place of Gadda. Signicantly, that interim

government for South Africa and the AU must

be dierentiated from the NTC in its current

form. The AU will demand, in accordance with

the much-ignored “roadmap” that has informed

its diplomacy on Libya so far, that the interim

government include elements from all sectors of

Libyan society. Tripoli must feature there just as

prominently as Benghazi. So too, must Libyantribes be considered in the make-up of the

interim government.

South Africa’s belated agreement to the

unfreezing proposal demonstrates uid a

stance the South African one on Libya is.

South Africa agreed to sign the unfreezing

proposal on condition the reference to the NTC

in the proposal be removed and replaced with

“relevant authority”.

The haggling at the UN over the $1.5 billion

is set to mark a precedent on what exactly

the fate of Gadda’s billions will be. Early on

Thursday the NTC announced they would seek

to free a whopping $5 billion in frozen assets to

“jump-start Libya’s economy and provide vital

relief to its citizens”. This initial sum is set to be

the rst of many transfers to Tripoli.South Africa’s agreement to the US-backed

proposal comes at the cost of great diplomatic

wrangling. On both sides of the Atlantic,

Western leaders expressed dismay at South

Africa’s refusal to the proposal, insisting

that the delay incurred by South Africa’s

refusal would be to the detriment of the

spokesman Clayson Monyela assured the

Monyela went on to reiterate that South Africa

Monyela pointed out, had also not recognised

to psychological bullying. "They wanted the

the Libyan people, help unfreeze their assets

and allow their authorities to get access to the

capital they need to rebuild the country, and

it's disappointing the stance they have taken so

far. I hope that even now they will change their

minds," he said of South Africa on BBC radio.

Minds have now been changed. The coveted

$1.5 billion will soon make its way to Libya,

but it remains unclear how, if at all, the TNC

will acquiesce to a transitional government

that stunts its own power in the country.

Besides, it may well be some time before Libya

actually sees the requisite peace to form such

a government. The bombs continue to fall,

because they’re all so much more peaceful

than this barbaric Africa we live in, or there’s afundamental problem somewhere along the line

with how cases are opened and investigated.

It’s the latter. The ICC is hamstrung by the

fact that it can’t launch its own investigations

Kalenga’s a youth marketing expert.

Scratch that. He’s a sassy, smart man who

you’re connected to, rather than by external

aspects of your life like geography. “Whether

you are in Braamfontein or Soweto, if you have

a BlackBerry you have a shared outlook on life

because of your access to information. There’s

been a massive blurring of outlook because of

information access,” says Kalenga.

However the move into the digital worldhasn’t yet blurred divisions between Cape Town

and Johannesburg. Kalenga says what drives

*2`7'7,874%-7'7%24%"4H2'"#2$,%",*%#-7%:2@%82#5%

complex. “Johannesburg is viewed as a place

with bright lights and opportunity beyond

what people can dream of. This is driven by the

Jo’burg dream which centres on making your

dreams come true. There’s a bling theory to

Johannesburg which is all about big spending

and big brands.” In Jozi, the moola matters

because it can get you Louis Vuitton. The Cape

Town youngsters are a lot more nurturing and

sensitive, and there, it’s about the culture.

“In Cape Town, life and identity is more

about cultures, sub‐cultures and urban

cultures. There is this strong notion of

supporting the underdog,” says Kalenga.“There’s this pervasive understanding of the

need to support brands that haven’t made it

big in the city, but to which you have a strong

connection and which resonate with you.

Cape Town youth are risk takers, and are a lot

more adventurous and open to trying out new

brands.”

The first thing that Kalenga will have you know is that

geography is becoming increasingly irrelevant when itcomes to defining youth.



Back in Jozi, people stick to what is popular

and what’s ‘in’. This could be why Cape Town

is a more nurturing environment for emerging

brands, particularly in the technology, food,

social media, fashion and hospitality sectors.There’s much more consumer tolerance for

experimentation, and often, brands make it

good in Cape Town before spreading across the

rest of the country.

Take Head Honcho, that cool clothing

apparel brand that started in Cape Town by

Nick Kaoma and Mzoxolo Gcwabe in 2008.

these youth it is by their attitude which

embraces the progressive mentality that’s

coming up in Africa,” says Kalenga.

Head Honcho has positioned its brand slap‐

bang in the middle of that empowering attitude

with a slogan that demands of its followers:

“Live Progressively”. “Head Honcho has been

endorsed by AKA who was a member of a

group, but who has started a solo career. Head

ambassadors and he’s dressed by them, and

he has a strong presence in social media. The

partnership has worked well because AKA is

now one of the top rotational players on 5fm

and Head Honcho has supported him and

helped get him there.”

Community and co‐operation are hugeamongst urban youth, and Kalenga says that

this is a modern mash up of the Ubuntu cliché,

although he’s loath to use the word because it’s

so dated. “Both AKA and Head Honcho were

at the early stages of their career and they saw

that they could add value to each other and

that’s what has worked to reinforce both their

brands.”

Today’s urban youth a developing incommunities rather than developing on their

own. “Young people in cities are actualising

much sooner than people from previous

generations. They understand the value they

can add to society and often hook up with

others who also get this and mutualise much

their way,” says Kalenga.

Grolsch was clever and spoke directly to

this communal value with a brand campaign

called “Mavericks by Grolsch”. The beer

who are doing the same sort of thing. Thatcampaign was incredibly successful because

it appealed to ability to this desire to connect,

but in a manner in which these young people

were adding value to each other’s lives and

businesses,” says Kalenga.

Those are the brand wins. But what about

youth brands that have tanked? AmaKipKip

to keeping a brand relevant and alive in youth

markets.

And what about one last parting shot?

If there’s one thing brand owners need to

remember about urban youth marketing what

should that be? “Never underestimate the

power of information,” says Kalenga. “Mobilesharing and own media is saturating the lives

of younger generations. 50% of all content

consumed by 18 to 20 year olds is content that

they have created, or that someone they know

has created. There’s so much referencing to

each other content, and the creation of tribes

around content and content sharing.”

“consumer segment” to connect to because

unlike older audiences, they don’t readily listen

to or absorb marketing messages. Connecting

with urban youth is all about listening,

understanding and relating authentically using

shared interests that add value. Which means

that this is the generation that could possibly

be the smartest because they’re demanding

that brands wake up and start treating themlike real people who deserve more. Enough with

being mere numbers that turn revenue.

SPORT FORMULA ONE

Ferrari says they’re still in it to win it, but their

actions tell us they’re hedging their bets. The

team has started work on their 2012 car hoping

to be competitive from the word go compared

to their 2011 campaign, which hasn’t really got

going. For some perspective, at this stage last year, Fernando Alonso was only ten points behind

eventual driver’s championship winner Sebastian

Vettel. This year, he is 89 points behind and the

team is, at best, driving for second position as

their current third place in the constructors’

championship is not under any threat.

Neither championship is won yet for Red

Bull, but if comments from Vettel and team

principal Christian Horner are anything to

go by, the team will be looking at victories as

bonuses because, save for major cock‐ups in

multiple races, the 2011 season is theirs to lose.

In driver news, Bruno Senna has replaced

Nick Heidfeld at Renault for the next two

races. Speculation is that the team is trying to

make this more of a permanent arrangement.

Heidfeld only got the seat because RobertKubica was sidelined by the life‐threatening

injuries he sustained in crash during a rally.

Kubica has been undergoing rehabilitation and

is expected to have one more surgery on

his elbow.

Other Spa news is that Charlie Whiting, the

race control guy, has barred the use of the drag

reduction system at Eau Rouge complex – the

breathtaking series of left‐right‐left corners

<-7'7/%2,%NPPP/%J2D"%LxDD2,7,%H.337*%$`%

what is arguably one of the greatest passes in

grand prix history. The guy he made the move

on was seven‐times world champion MichaelSchumacher, who this weekend is celebrating

20 years since his Formula 1 debut. A special

celebration was held for him at the circuit on

Thursday where everyone wished him many

more races. Hip, hip, old guy.

Weather and tyres have made or broken

races this year, so with sunny skies predicted for

Sunday, we’ll have to rely a jumbled grid from

a potentially wet qualifying and tires to bring

the drama. Pirelli have said there will be a big

H7'&$'(",87%*2`7'7,87%:7#<77,%#-7%(7*2.(%

and soft tyre compounds that will be in use this

weekend. Big as in more than a second, mainly

because of the length of the track, so expect

the track.Prediction: Should it remain dry through

qualifying and if Hamilton can do a better

job of making the soft compound last, he will

take Belgium again with Vettel shadowing him

home. As always, Alonso remains the joker in

the pack, so third place is between him and

Mark Webber.
