The Black Management<br />
Forum <strong>Limpopo</strong><br />
FOCUS<br />
Advancing socio-economic transformation.<br />
The Black Management Forum (the BMF) is the foremost organisation<br />
in the development of managerial leadership and advancement<br />
of socio-economic transformation in South Africa. Our<br />
focus in <strong>Limpopo</strong> is to ensure that we support and develop those<br />
already in managerial positions. We also support those who aspire to<br />
be managers. The newly-elected leadership lead by Dr John Mudau as<br />
the provincial Chairperson has recommitted assisting past and current<br />
members to hold the highest ethical standards.<br />
The current programmes include:<br />
• Engagement with district mayors. This programme is aimed at<br />
ensuring that municipalities at all levels are assisted to get out<br />
of the difficulties they find themselves in, particularly related to<br />
audit opinions. It is the view of this leadership that the BMF should<br />
provide technical support and, in some cases, competent human<br />
capital that will assist municipalities. It is unacceptable to the BMF<br />
that two decades after independence the province still struggles<br />
to get competent people. We think BMF should encourage its<br />
members to make their skills available to municipalities. We are<br />
equally happy with the support we are getting from both district<br />
and local mayors in this regard.<br />
• Support for women in business. It is the considered view of the BMF<br />
in <strong>Limpopo</strong> that if the economy of the province is to be rejuvenated<br />
and the province’s contribution to national GDP is to increase, BMF<br />
must do the right thing. This means supporting women in business.<br />
BMF has reached an agreement with IDC. The agreement requires<br />
BMF to submit a list of women-owned agri-processing companies<br />
to the IDC. The Chief Executive Officer of the IDC had committed<br />
that the corporation will fund these companies. This is the right<br />
thing to do and will assist the province greatly.<br />
• The development of young entrepreneurs. The provincial leadership<br />
is embarking on a youth entrepreneurship programme<br />
through the BMF Young Professional wing. The idea is to encourage<br />
young professionals to start their own businesses which they will<br />
manage on their own. This will help to truly transform the economy<br />
of the province.<br />
