Disgraceful
The disgraceful xenophobic scenes and occurrences in South Africa sicken me to the core. They enrage me as a person and sadden me as an African.

Dumsor Is Simply Unacceptable; People Must Exhibit Rage – Herbert Mensah
Businessman, Mr Herbert Mensah has charged Ghanaians to show “rage” to government over the erratic power supply, popularly known as ‘dumsor’ in the country.
New Minister, New Hope…
When Honourable Mustapha was announced as the next Minister for Youth and Sports I quickly called him to congratulate him and wish him the best.
It has always been my policy to do so and offer support…. it is after all about Ghana first and foremost!
The presence of our new Minister for Youth and Sports, Honourable Mustapha Hamed at our Rugby finals was both significant and appreciated. His presence allowed me to have a positive and frank discussion about the relationship between the Ministry and Minority Sports and of course Rugby in particular.
The lack of cooperation between the sports bodies and minority sports both for funding and use of public infrastructure as well as false claims by the Ministry with respect of the yearly funding of 100,000 for minority sports were discussed.
Most significant was the position of the Minister. He is clearly taking a different approach from his predecessor. He was also realistic about finances and asked for time to properly assess matters with the view to returning to work with the minority bodies!
Lessons for Management from the Game of Rugby
Vodafone trains senior staff to succeed using management principles from the Game of Rugby
Telecommunication giant Vodafone collaborated with the Ghana Rugby Football Union (GRFU) to organize a workshop on the application of principles and values from the Game of Rugby to drive success in corporate business.
The Rugby management model was developed by Mr. Herbert Mensah, a business mogul and current President of the GRFU.
Humility and Servitude?
I guess one of my major dilemmas is trying to reconcile why and how public servitude is lost on previously humble people who assume public office and adopt a stance of unacceptable arrogance and often stupidity .
Coming from the world of business and understanding that the buck stops with the prime shareholder there is natural intolerance for both incompetence as well as actions and behaviour which dent the image of the corporation. Not so it seems in African politics.
Life .. Keeping your Cool!
The time to keep your cool is when things are going wrong and no one is prepared to act yet want to take control when it is almost too late.
