Knysna Municipality
Knysna faces serious lagoon pollution problem
We have taken decisive steps with regards a recent pollution incident in the renowned Knysna estuary. We are pleased that our actions have already delivered very positive results. And we look forward to another successful Pick n Pay Knysna Oyster Festival. Samples taken on 4 June revealed raised levels of pollution at certain points within the estuary. A contractor was employed to clean the culverts where the highest readings were taken. These are being cleaned on a weekly basis until at least the middle of July. We also reinstated a slow release chlorination process in these areas. Various factors contributed to these unexpected readings. The readings were taken one day after our region endured a day-long Eskom power outage; we experienced some rainfall during the weekend which washes unwanted material into the stormwater system; and a blockage due to the misuse of a fat-trap in town caused one of our sewer lines to malfunction. We will soon be rolling out an extensive public awareness campaign on the proper use of commercial fat traps, as well as the consequences establishments will face if found to be misusing these systems. In the meantime we are excited to welcome all our visitors to the upcoming festival and look forward to sharing this fantastic event with them. - Municipal Manager Lauren Waring Posted on 23 Jun 2012 12:01

Why 'Stop the NYDA' is worse than the NYDA
This is an excellent response to #StopNYDA because you highlight the absurdity of the cause. Small businesses do not all need cash, they need support and a network of experts to tap into. NYDA can make the evolution take place with better leadership. In Dec 2011 they launched a program where they offered FREE (Pty) Ltd companies registrations across the country. This one barrier, of raising the funds (about R2000) to have it registered privately falls away and allows a entrepreneur to receive all the advantages that come with operating under a register corporation.

New player enters short-term insurance market
At last an insurance company that reduces monthly premiums as the value of your car depreciates. THANK YOU KING PRICE. By the way their claim of saving you 60% on car insurance is true. Their building, contents and specified quote was also fantastic. Posted on 22 Jun 2012 08:44

No, NO! Nando's
I believe responsible companies consider their communities and their contexts especially such things as underlying racial, xenophobic, maturity levels. Whilst some will embrace the concept and see nothing wrong with it - I take it Nandos is (1) not advertising to itself (2) not targeting the few mature, adventurous in their target market otherwise they would not be using such mass media. It is therefore imperative that advertising strategies and campaigns remain sensitive to these issues knowing that strategy is about timing. There's a time we laugh at ourselves and what we used to fuss about yet before we reached that point of maturity our emotions were closely linked to our decisions. Question is: considering the recent past is the timing of this 'great' advert correct not necessarily if it is wrong in itself? What does it represent to those who were affected or can be affected by xenophobia? Do those who support it know anyone personally who was raped, attacked or whose family was killed through xenophobic attacks? An extreme example is how the Rwanda genocide was triggered by seemingly simple issues.Courting controversy as a strategy of getting attention has its limits, a key thing to watch out for for a global brand Posted on 22 Jun 2012 02:09

Understanding Radio Playlists
So what you're saying is that Radio hasn't changed that much since the 1940's.
The question to ask in music research is NOT
"Do you know this song"? or "Do you like this song"? or "Hi fellow secret committee members, what's being played by some jerk in a club'?
BUT
"How does this song make you feel'?
Now you can begin to see the science which compliments the art. Posted on 20 Jun 2012 15:22
