    Changes in Fire Safety Legislation
    Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005Current fire safety Laws detail employers and others' with responsibilities for people's safety if there is an out break of fire. At present there are various pieces of legislation that contain fire safety provisions, which makes it difficult for people to know what is applicable to them and their business in respect of complying with the Law.As part of the Governments' commitment to reduce death, injury and damage caused by fire, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) has now implemented changes in fire safety Law. Existing fire safety Law will be repealed or revoked and be replaced with the Regulato
    poor both can agree on the fact that a visit to a medical practitioner is costly, as is a visit to a Sangoma or traditional healer.

    The Health Spaza saves the township dweller the trip into a shopping centre. On their own doorsteps, they now have available a shop (or a container, gazebo or ice-cream box style bicycle) that caters for the minor ailments we all suffer from such as flu in winter, the twinge of arthritis, and a biggie – male potency. Products sold, have been carefully selected according to a set of criteria, which include market related pricing and the all-important fact the products must be natural and good for our consumers.

    Employee Motivation through Recognition
    Managers are often confronted with high employee attrition. For most managers the easiest solution when a valuable employee resigns his job is to offer more benefits in terms of money and perquisites. But rarely does it work. Exit interviews often point out low moral due to infrequent appreciation and recognition of the contribution of the employee leading to de-motivation and disenchantment with the job.Improving employee motivation and morale is the easiest method of improving organizational productivity and cut down employee turnovers. Replacing good employee could be expensive in terms of recruitment costs and time.Research has conclusively establis
    Called by many names; townships, informal settlements, or squatter camps, they are an integral part of South African life, both in rural and urban areas. A collection of ramshackled structures made of corrugated iron, cardboard, wood, fencing, whatever can be found to create a home. The roads between the shacks are better described as worn pathways, some too small for a vehicle to pass, others wider with space for vehicles and informal trade to mingle with playing children. R.D.P. (Reconstruction and Development) housing projects are interspersed with the shack-lands, where the government has built small brick houses, which will ideally and ultimately house all of South Africa’s homeless. Amongst the shacks; schools, clinics, churches or missions, spaza shops, shabeens and taverns are found. The services that are usually conspicuously missing are police stations, post offices, and health outlets (apart from clinics, which dispense medicine and traditional healers).

    The interior of most shacks are dark and stuffy, leaky in summer and draughty in winter when the paraffin stoves used for cooking and warmth far too often lead to fires, unable to be contained before spreading fast and far and with tragic consequences. These conditions are totally unsuitable for people living with compromised respiratory diseases such as those that are the symptoms of HIV/AIDS.

    Informal trade is done from spaza shops, which are general dealer stores set up inside shacks, caravans, under gazebos or trees, or in containers. In the same way, hairdressing services, telephonic services and clothing are sold. Shabeens and taverns are bottle stores and restaurants.

    Business is usually quiet during the daytime on weekdays, as most people who are employed and most children who are in school are not available as consumers. Children are often responsible for the shopping as their parent’s work, and it is becoming more and more common as AIDS spreads, that children are required to look after sick parents, run the household and look after siblings.

    In the evenings and on weekends, the streets come alive with people shopping, trading and visiting each other. Music blares, cars are washed and children use the streets as their playground. Township life is truly community based living, and it is this quality that makes this physically challenging environment, a special one.

    The Spaza shop is often a central area for residents who generally do not have refrigerators, and must purchase food daily basis. It is the Spaza shop’s central position in a community that makes it a perfect point to distribute health products and indeed even as a place to distribute information and knowledge.

    THE CREATION OF HEALTH SPAZAS

    With the above scenario in mind, Fevertree has initiated a concept into the townships of a rather unique type of Spaza shop. The main aim of the Health Spaza is to start as it were, health shops like the health stores you find in more affluent areas of the city. Many of these health shop owners have told us that they are increasingly seeing township dwellers who prefer to come through there doors with minor ailments as the advice is free and the products are affordable (well some of them at any rate). I am sure that the rich and poor both can agree on the fact that a visit to a medical practitioner is costly, as is a visit to a Sangoma or traditional healer.

    Writing a Cover Letter
    As a novice writer, I had no idea that cover letters existed until I attempted to submit my first short story manuscript to a publication whose submission guidelines required that a cover letter accompany every manuscript. Once aware of cover letters, however, I found myself confused. So I conducted a bit of research. If you are just embarking on the writer’s journey and seeking to submit your first short story manuscript, hopefully this article will assist you as some guides on cover letters have helped me.Grab your magnifying glass and come along with me to take a closer look at this type of letter.Cover letters are brief letters usually included with sho

    Without Effective Feedback Employees Will Continue To Perform Poorly
    One of the biggest weaknesses of poor managers is the lack of willingness or ability to give timely, accurate and effective feedback to their employees. There are two types of feedback: positive - recognition and appreciation, and negative – correcting or modifying behavior or discipline. Most employees want to know how they are doing – whether it is good work or work that needs improvement. No one likes to operate in a vacuum.It is amazing to me, after working with hundreds of organizations over the past 30 years and observing or coaching thousands of managers, executives or business owners, as to how many just don’t get this very simple management principle: yo

    To say that the shop is truly a health Spaza, or even to say that Fevertree as a company has any claims on it is not entirely true. The ownership of the Health Spazas is in the hands of local township dwellers. Fevertree’s role is to assist them to set up the business and give them the required training to operate as a small business and as health product consultants. As it is a new idea, and in the world of new ideas, people are usually a slow species to catch on, the Health Spaza has diversified itself to the extent that it is also a Photo Spaza, taking ID photos, licence photos, and photographs for all occasions. This diversity is the hallmark of the Fevertree spaza business model. Strangely enough the two odd bed fellows, photography and health products seem to complement each other well, at times the photography drawing customers to both sides of the business, and sometimes the health products attracting customers.

    The scope of the spaza business model also includes for new and innovative products and services, for instance we have identified an awareness and need for solar power. Another issue is that of whether the Spaza should be mobile or static We anticipate that other ideas will surface in time, and we would like to encourage our readers to submit ideas to us (1 million brains are far better than two or three).
