| 5 reasons why Cheaper is more Expensive | ||||||
| When recruiting for a role that requires team leadership, business development and strategic innovation, it’s highly recommended that you choose the right candidate versus the cheapest.
Very often, these quality candidates are those with global experience.

A globally experienced hire will deliver valuable business results that makes them far more affordable in the long-run,” comments Faye Tessendorf, Director at Homecoming Revolution. Reasons why cheaper is more expensive:

| Paul Harris: South Africa in sy moer?
Harris was Head Prefect in 1967. The event was attended by old boys from as far back as 1944, according to Maritzburg College. Besides reminiscing in an entertaining manner, he concluded by commenting on the current state of nation. “Another question that always comes up is whether “South Africa is in its moer” he said. “How much energy has been wasted discussing, complaining, worrying and generally whingeing about the state of the country? I know people who only ever talk about this subject.” Read more. |

| SOUTH AFRICA
Welcome home to the turmoil & hope Justin Foxton writes a letter to his sister who is about to return to South Africa after living in Britain for the past 4 years. Dear M, What do you make of what’s happening in Zim? If you had told me last week that in a matter of days Mugabe would still be alive but out of power, I would have laughed at you. It gives me such hope for South Africa, though we must do it peacefully and democratically (and preferably in less than 37 years!). Your decision to come home is such a great one – not that I am biased! It’s a very exciting time to be in South Africa, though it’s not for the faint-hearted. So, as you make plans to come back home for good, I wanted to give you my thoughts on the “state of our nation”…Read more. |

| KENYA
‘The social & cultural life of Nairobi makes my heart beat’ Like any immigrant, I was faced with a heightened sense of concern about moving to a new, metropolitan city, particularly one in Africa. Unlike many, I was returning to the continent having left my home in Sierra Leone 11 years earlier. Since that time, a few things had changed: I was moving to a new country with a young family centered around a toddler, and in possession of a PhD from MIT. (Although this still did not ease tense conversations with elders about my decision to keep long dreadlocks.) These realities, coupled with perceptions of security, personal growth, and other challenges one would face on the continent, left me with mixed emotions spanning from excitement to nervousness to, frankly, fear. So, last year, my family and I checked in our luggage and my fears and relocated to Nairobi, Kenya from Boston, USA…Read more. |
