KWADUKUZA educators and 

high school learners gathered at 

KwaDukuza-Sappi Resource Centre 

this month to be introduced to Hour 

of Code Project : Classrooms of 

Tomorrow. 

This is a revolutionary form of 

education which is expected 

to reach thousands of 

youth. It is spearheaded 

by Change the World Trust 

in collaboration with the 

Department of Education. 

Its aim is to ensure that 

South African youth is 

equipped for the world 

stage. According to Mr 

David D. Silva who was a 

facilitator of this workshop, 

Power of Code was 

established to ensure that 

thousands of youth in rural 

communities have access 

to free computer science 

education, a language that is 

rapidly becoming essential 

to people’s everyday life. He 

further said that people now 

depend on technology from

Xolani Dube, will be a guest speaker 

at the launch of the Entrepreneur 

Competition 2016, in Ballito on 

Thursday. 

Xolani is an aspiring young businessman 

growing strawberry in Ballito. He and 

his wife Yoliswa, produce 1 000 to 2 

000 punnets of strawberries for local 

retailers. If the couple had listened to the 

expert who told them that investing in 

an early age. 

KwaDukuza Resource Centre fully 

endorses the Hour of Code and 

understands the value of computer 

science education and as such, has 

opened the doors to all youth. It also 

calls for educators and schools to 

collaborate with and coordinate efforts 

to introduce youth to computer science. 

This resource centre, which is situated 

at KwaDukuza, has facilities and 

facilitators to accommodate training. 

a strawberry farm in Ballito, KwaZulu- 

Natal was going to be a waste of time 

because of climatic conditions of Ilembe 

District, they’d probably still be chasing 

stressful office deadlines. They have 

created employment for at least 100 

people, as they employ 80 people a day 

to pick strawberries, and 100 in peak 

season. Their farm at Compensation is 

known as Cappeny Estates.

SMME, what you should know 


Completing and submitting tender documents 

(Continuation from the April issue) 

As a supplier, you too have 

input costs. All business 

has fixed and variable costs 

and are in the business of making 

profit. Some of these include Research 

& Development, manufacturing, 

administration, marketing and sales, 

salaries, commissions, etc. when pricing 

your offering you need to know what 

these are and also understand what profit 

margin can be added without destroying 

your competitiveness. These are internal 

factors that impact both your price and 

the profitability of your tender.be careful 

in understanding the difference between 

markup and margin. Maxing the two is 

dangerous and can lead to significant 

errors in final profitability. 

After deciding your final selling price, 

you need to consider how the client will 

want to pay and what the impact would 

be on your organization. Some options 

include, (1) Full payment up front, (2) 

Deposit with deferred payments, (3) 

Lease, etc. Often you may be supplying 

goods that have been imported and 

you have purchased these in foreign 

currency. If this is the case, then you will 

need to take exchange rate fluctuations 

into account and also consider foreign 

inflation rates. These, and others, are 

known as ‘external factors’ and these can 

have a significant effect on the total cost 

of ownership. 

There is a price below which your 

company will lose money. This price 

is known as the breakeven point. 

Sometimes a company will sell below 

this price especially if they are trying 

to get into an account for the first time. 

However, this is a very dangerous game 

to play. Obviously profit is what business 

is all about, so it is vital that you know 

your breakeven price. Firstly, so that you 

can bid an initial price with a suitable 

profit margin above it. Remember, clients 

are just as intelligent as you and have 

a very good idea of what a fair market 

price is. Secondly, when it comes to the 

price negotiation round of evaluations it 

is critical that you know your breakeven 

price. So that you do not get beaten into 

accepting a price below your breakeven 

point and thereby lose money on the 

deal. 

Clearly understanding the fixed and 

variable costs of delivering your goods or 

services is crucial to fixing the breakeven 

price. If you are offering financing 

options, these too will have an impact 

on the breakeven point and you need to 

understand this. If, you are offering a 

number of goods, your breakeven could 

be affected by the number that the client 

purchases. Especially, if the variable cost 

contributes a significant portion of the 

total cost. 

It is useful to design a spreadsheet 

that includes all fixed and variable 

costs, the selling price and the effects 

of financing options. This will allow 

for ‘what-if ’ scenarios to be considered 

and will also allow you to see the results 

graphically. Which is often much easier 

to understand and present. Before finally 

submitting your response to the tender, 

check all your costing and pricing. 

In fact, get someone else to check for 

you. Check that you have met every 

requirement called for in the tender, or 

at least commented on them all. It is 

good policy to separate out functions 

in responding to a tender. The person 

responsible for the client account and 

the business relationship, often called 

the ‘Account Manager’ should have final 

responsibility for the response. 

However, power of veto should be 

vested in a technical design authority 

as well as in a financial oversight 

committee. The technical design 

authority is responsible for responding to 

the ‘technical’ requirements of the tender. 

They are the ones who usually have to 

deliver the goods or service that you are 

selling and therefore have the right to 

‘sign off ’ on the response. 

The financial oversight committee 

are responsible for company financial 

performance. They have to agree to 

committing resources. As all resources 

have a financial implication. This 

committee also understand the bigger 

picture, whilst the Account Manager 

normally is only accountable for 

relationship and revenues from one 

or two client companies and is always 

biased towards his client. Especially, as 

his salary and commission are from the 

client. 

Negotiate with suppliers and 

investigate new products/services to 

apply competitive tender costing. 

Winning a tender is more than 

just answering it and submitting it in 

time! It takes thought, imagination, 

understanding and wisdom. Very 

often your response to a tender will be 

a solution i.e. solving a problem often 

a very complex one. Your solution may 

require putting together products and 

services from multiple suppliers. You 

will need to deal with many variables 

and many cost inputs. All of these 

are, in general, different from each of 

your suppliers. Your task is to put it all 

together like a jigsaw puzzle and present 

as a coherent, valuable and cost-effective 

solution for your client. 

For each additional supplier that 

you use in building your solution, your 

complexity increases exponentially, 

especially if you make use of 

international suppliers. You will have 

to juggle, languages, time-zones, 

technologies and currencies. This 

requires deft negotiation skills so that 

you can blend this into a winning tender 

response. In trying to determine what 

price you should bid in your response to 

a tender, it is important to look at both 

sides (1) Your competitors: What are 

your competitors doing in this area ? (2) 

What are they charging? (3) What are 

they likely to charge in this tender? 

On the next issue we will discuss

Apps create 

young millionaires 

If you are a young budding entrepreneur 

creating a successful app maybe the way 

for you to get your big break. Digital 

entrepreneurship has churned out junior 

millionaires. The advantage that young 

people have in this digital market is they 

are the creators of trends and can easily 

grasp the fast changes in technology. 

The most successful apps come from 

someone who just thought of an app 

they would use themselves. Such as the 

controversial Lobola calculator app created 

by South African developer Kopo Robert 

Matsaneng. Candy crush a hugely popular 

gaming App owned by KING is worth $19 

billion. Even existing companies like banks 

and airlines are using apps to make their 

customers lives easier. 

This capital needed for this kind of startup 

is your laptop or smartphone which 

is usually something most young people 

have on hand. Creating an app requires 

all your creative energy, consume as much 

knowledge on the current apps and pay 

close attention to find a gap in the market 

that can fit your app. The age of the digital 

entrepreneur is here it is a lucrative option 

that requires little to no start up capital. The 

Uber app (a taxicab service app) owns no 

taxis yet it is worth $40 billion .its creator 

Travis Kalaniek came up with it after 

becoming frustrated with the expensive cab 

prices something we can relate to in South 

Africa as well. 

If you have an innovative brain wave that 

you believe might make a viable App get 

in touch with the council for scientific and 

industrial research (CSIR) to get support as 

they are often looking for innovators. For

Opportunities for youth in 

Renewable Energy sector 

THE Department Of Energy is looking to 

fund businesses that can contribute towards 

the country’s energy sector, especially in 

the fields of : Renewable energy and waste 

management, especially turning waste 

management into energy. The province 

of Kwa-Zulu Natal is the best resource of 

renewable energy as the climate is very 

agreeable. To get into understand the 

need for energy innovations in South 

Africa, to light up this, R100 million 

per year has been provided to all five 

campuses of the University of KwaZulu- 

Natal. The Integrated Renewable Energy 

Advancement Programme (IREAP) of 

UKZN partnered with the IDC ,DOE and 

DTI to provide courses in engineering 

and energy research. IREAP courses are 

offered up to postgraduate level. If you have 

another degree you can register for masters

projects. 

With all these opportunities in the energy 

sector, if you have a business plan with 

idea that provides solutions involving Biogas, 

renewable energy and turning waste 

management into energy, present your 

innovation to the DOE and turn your energy

What is an Incubation Programme ? 

“Incubators are designed to help move 

SMMEs from beginners stage into 

corporates. Incubations grows sustainable 

businesses. They help with marketing and 

developing not SALES”, says Robynne 

Erwin of SMME DIAGNOSTICS. 

Business incubators help new enterprises 

rate of success to increase drastically. 

Most new enterprises fail within the 

first three years from lack of support. 

Incubators supplement this by offering 

training, advice and services. This 

training often zones in on business 

planning, management and leadership. 

Before choosing an incubator for your 

business, here are a few questions to ask. 

What is the purpose of the incubator? 

How is this aligned to the entrepreneur’s 

objectives and needs? 

What selection criteria and process does 

MOST successful entrepreneurs such 

as Richard Branson, Steve Jobs and the 

giants of google, have achieved success 

through providing a unique and creative 

leadership style. Everything rises 

and falls on leadership keeping your 

employees engaged is of great importance. 

Statistically 8% of employees are fully 

engaged in their workplace, while 64% 

are fully unengaged. Motivated and 

committed employees help the business 

grow by providing problem solving 

strategies and offering the project at 

hand their full commitment. As an 

entrepreneur you are often motivated by 

a passion in your project, but how do you 

keep the people involved in the business 

motivated as well? 

Brand Pretorius, a motivational speaker 

and leadership expert provides these key 

points in becoming a successful business 

leader. 

the incubator employ? What kind of 

fellow tenants might this criteria and 

process result in? 

Are the entrepreneur’s most needed 

services catered for at the right price? 

How is the incubator connected to the 

people, resources and networks most 

desired by the entrepreneur? 

What financial deal is the incubator 

offering or demanding? 

Will co-branding with the incubator 

strengthen the brand of the new venture?

Leadership in business 

Leadership is a responsibility not a right, 

one has to earn the moral mandate to lead 

daily. Leadership is not about power, fear 

and position. It is about influence through 

quality of advice. A true leader leads 

enough to help people to be able to lead 

themselves. 

There is a difference between leading 

people and managing people. Managers 

micro-manage and control, but leaders 

inspire trust. 

Leading is serving, so always aspire to be a 

servant leader. 

If you cannot lead yourself you cannot 

lead other people, therefore take 

introspection of yourself. 

Leadership is about character not 

charisma, results instead of effort and 

effective implementation instead of just 

ideas. You can measure you leadership 

skill by your ability of translating vision 

into reality.

EDUCATION 

By Tinky Ogle 

In a perfect world, selecting a career 

would be as simple as knowing 

and pursuing, but reality proves 

it a daunting process. It often requires 

sufficient research and self-assessment that, 

even after satisfactory effort, leaves you 

with more questions like ‘Would it make 

me good money?’, ‘Are there opportunities 

for me to study it, and if, so can I afford 

to?’ You are not alone. 

A wise alternative to select a career 

is to identify current skills shortages in 

South Africa that are most applicable to 

your capabilities an interests, thereafter 

find doors to get you into those fields. As 

compelling as it may come across, many 

of us are actually unaware of the gaps 

in the career market which may cost us 

consequent hurdles in our pursuits- if not 

treaded upon carefully. 

Scarce skills/Skills shortages/Skills 

gaps- terms that are wrangled a lot 

in our industry- is defined as a job or 

qualification for which there are too few 

available people in SA to do the job. 

OPPORTUNITIES 

Studying for a scarce skill does not only 

fulfill one’s contribution socioeconomically 

but it mostly benefits you, because the 

more the skill is in demand, too is the 

likelihood of its compensation. You 

will find a job easier, get paid better 

and progress to the top simpler because 

employers require these skills. An added 

bonus is some qualifications are universally 

scarce, which means international 

opportunities will be available should one 

consider working abroad. 

One of the findings of the latest *Adorp 

Employment Index is that there are 

currently as many as 829 800 unfilled 

positions for high-skilled workers 

across a wide range of occupations in 

SA. This finding, together with our high 

unemployment rate, illustrates the need 

for citizens to strategically pursue job and 

career opportunities that will benefit our 

economy in the long-haul. The correlation 

between South Africa’s skills scarcity and

Scarce skills in South Africa 

career path selections presents a notable 

implication to tackling poverty alleviation, 

unemployment and economic growth, 

hand in hand with creating awareness 

surrounding skills shortages – but not 

withstanding- the provision of support 

systems to aid those whom are interested 

in these jobs the opportunity to access 

them. 

So which jobs are scarce? 

Scarce skills are concentrated in 

the Engineering, Health, Information 

Technology and Finance industry sectors. 

According to the Department of Higher 

Education and Training’s organizing 

framework for occupations (OFO), the list 

of occupations in high demand for 2015, 

in each respective industry sector, is as 

follows: 

- Skilled Agricultural, Forestry, Fishery, 

Craft Related Trades: 

Builders, Machinery, Electrical, 

Merchandising, Mechanical 

- Plant and Machine Operators and 

Assemblers: 

Plastics, Packaging and textiles 

manufacturing, Operators and Assemblers; 

and Drivers 

- Managers: 

Government, Finance, Quality 

Systems, Research and Development, 

Manufacturing, Logistics, Construction, 

Health and Safety, and District Education 

- Professionals: 

Scientists, Technologists, Analysts, 

Engineers, Surveyors, Nurses and Medical 

Officers, Accounts and Investments, ICT 

specialists and Lawyers 

- Technicians and Associate 

Professionals: 

Technicians, Mari-time, Mining, 

Manufacturing and GIS 

- Clerical Support Workers: 

Tourism, Taxation and Accounts, 

Security and Statistics 

- Service and Sales Workers: 

Hazardous Material Removals and 

Community Care 

How can you help as a business leader? 

Finding the best qualified individuals 

to employ in your business is standard 

and highly recommendable procedure, 

yet with that I encourage entrepreneurs 

to invest in the potential and future of 

your business by assisting young people 

through training courses/programmes that 

can increase their capabilities and growth 

in the company. Those on the quest of 

starting new businesses, as well as existing, 

are advised to use these skills shortages to 

develop their prospects for future business 

growth and not get left behind in the 

progression of these industries. 

The Department of Labour supports 

many skills development programmes 

in the area of scarce skills, for e.g. 

learnerships, apprenticeships and 

bursaries. Stay alert and seek opportunities 

as often as possible. You can make an 

appointment with one of the Department’s 

careers counsellors to assist you to choose 

a scarce skill that will suit you.

Ted Dumitru is Calling For Aspiring Coaches 




FORMER Bafana Bafana coach Ted Dumitru 

has ventured into helping aspiring coaches 

through workshops, in order to impart his 

knowledge of the game. The veteran mentor is 

calling for anyone that wants to learn more about 

critical topics which are mainly related to Youth 

Development and High Performance coaching. 

Speaking to Smme-News through his assistant 

Kabelo Mokoena, Ted revealed that the next 

workshop will be hosted before the end of this 

month. “We have not decided on the date of the 

next workshop but it could be later this month of 

May.” 

These workshops offer An up-to-date and fresh 

look at how quality soccer can be achieved in 

South Africa if knowledge, informed methods 

and leadership integrity are the driving forces of 

the beautiful game. 

Among the topics that are discussed at these 

workshops is the process of talent discovery, 

Multi-factor exercise structures and Player’s 

performance potential to mention a few. These 

are some of the crucially important subjects in 

the context of South African coaching. Having 

basic knowledge about coaching is important 

especially at grassroot level in order to install the 

mentality of professionalism to players while they 

are still young. 

Anyone who would like to be part of the 

courses can contact Kabelo Mokoena at kabelo.

The Ke Yona team search was in 

Durban on the 7th of May and was 

attended by more than 500 soccer 

enthusiasts who were all trying to 

impress a panel of selected scouts. 

Those who missed out on the 

opportunity can still keep up with the 

search in Johannesburg and Pretoria 

on the 21st May and the 4th of June 

respectively. 

This search has kick started careers of 

footballers such as Masana, Modiba, 

Meyer and Chikohwa who now ply 

their trades in the top tier league of 

South African football. Coach Khabo 

Zondo said the players came prepared 

this year, because they have seen there 

was a chance to break into professional 

football. “Everything went well, we 

got to see amazing talent. The players 

were better prepared. They have seen 

the chances to be considered for a 

professional team are there. It brings

players closer to their dreams. But it 

won’t be easy, it should become part of 

everyday life.” Said Zondo. 

The former Royal Eagles coach said 

those who mentored players in their 

early years should help shape them. He 

said they were looking for individuals 

with technical ability, endurance and 

other physical components. “We were 

happy. They behaved with emotional 

intelligence and it was pleasing to see 

players that young acting like this. “We 

are looking at players younger than 23, 

so that teams have time to groom them 

further. Youngsters may struggle with 

composure in the beginning, especially 

when playing against people they 

admire. This is why coaches need to 

start preparing them early,” concluded 

Zondo. 

In the first instalment of this search 

iLembe region was represented by 

Dumisani Mkhwanazi who wore jersey 

number 21 and played centre back 

against then Nedbank Cup Champions
