South Africa: Bags Full of Possibilities for Job CreationJOB creation is often seen as requiring big projects, massive capital outlay or state intervention. Business and government overlook opportunities in the so-called second economy. Instead of pouring money into job creation, why not support and expand existing markets created by the entrepreneurial instincts of poor people? An excellent example of this is the Johannesburg cross-border retail trade sector, where more than half a million people are coming into the city each year to shop, bringing in between R15bn and R20bn a year. Figures from South African Tourism indicate that one third, or R15,7bn, of the total spend by domestic and international tourists in SA in 2004 was in Johannesburg. Of this, R5,7bn, or more than one-third, was from regional shoppers travelling overland to SA. read more.

I bought medal from Sohrab's son: Shop-ownerMUMBAI: Shop-owner Abdul Wahid said that he had bought the Sohrab Modi's memorabilia directly from Modi's son Mehli a year-and-a-half ago when the latter was in the process of selling the family's Cuffe Parade flat before immigrating to Dubai. "I still have the purchase slip with me as proof," he said. "The stuff was lying with me for such a long time that I had even planned to put an advertisement in the newspapers, so that interested parties could learn about it and come to my shop. But before I could do that, I suddenly got at least ten calls inquiring about the trophy. I don't understand the sudden interest." A star famed as much for his booming voice as his directorial skills, Sohrab Modi was the eleventh recipient of the Phalke award. read more. A Desert Cow Boy in SharjahIn a land where your eyes feast on sand dunes and extensive desert sands, one cannot imagine the existence of a western cowboy. Yet the same is true in Sharjah, one of the seven Emirates of the UAE. For the Sharjah residents he is a well know person. Come rain, mist, winter or merciless sunshine, the ever familiar figure of a man with military trousers, a heavy coat over a layer of a shirt and a sweater , a cap on his balding head and his little personal belongings in a discarded supermarket trolley is true of the DESERT COWBOY. He resembles Charlie Chaplin playing the Tramp. Nobody actually knows his real name. But to the residents, he is simply known as COWBOY. Given a first glance, one can brush him off as a rare vagabond in the UAE. But he has the distinction of assisting the Sharjah Police in directing traffic during peak hours, helps in as day-time security for selective buildings and also teaches little children Arabic. read more. Expat secretaries to be allowed new positionsDubai: Expatriate secretaries will be able to continue working for their employers as long as the title and nature of their positions are adjusted, said a senior labour official. Dr Khalid Al Khazraji, Undersecretary of Labour, said that although secretarial positions were to be emiratised, employers were being given the option to keep their former expatriate secretaries as long as they were given alternative positions. "There is a need for flexibility in implementing the rules. The idea is to encourage companies to employ UAE nationals," he said. However, he added that secretarial positions were exclusively reserved for UAE nationals.
