You may notice from certain references on this site that, while I am British, I am originally from South Africa
The methods and understanding of business information systems was developed in the high end South African economy that is directly comparable to the economies of the UK, Europe, the USA, etc and the methods are entirely applicable. As you will notice, I spoke at a number of conferences in Europe and had occasion to travel to Europe on a number of occasions. In the early part of my consulting career we consulted regularly to clients in Europe and the UK so I am well versed with the European and UK economies
We left South Africa because of progressive deterioration of the economy and security situation
Key factors included a client of mine, a Chief Operating Officer of a Listed Company with a Degree from Harvard University, who was shot dead while sitting in his parked car next to a football field where his 11 year old son was attending a practice session
This man was shot at point blank range through his car window while talking to his elderly father on his mobile phone. The murderers were never brought to book and it is doubtful if any real attempt was made to trace them -- of the order of 6,000 people of European descent are being murdered in South Africa annually
In addition ANC Government policies, corruption, extreme nepotism and gross incompetence are slowly but surely crippling the South African economy and we therefore decided it was time to leave
My wife had also received death threats for exposing corruption in Government and had been forced out of her job in Local Government
For this reason you have not heard of me before this and I am therefore offering discounted rates on my services in order to afford you the opportunity to assess the quality and value of the services that I offer
I hope to be of service to you in the near future
