Social Enterprise World Forum, SAP partner in connecting organisations with technology, talent

You Need Posted on by

A major talking point at the recent Social Enterprise World Forum 2019 (SEWF) was the critical role social enterprises play in addressing many of the world’s socio-economic challenges by uplifting communities, accelerating progress and creating job opportunities. Technology plays a key role in helping to increase their impact and scale.



Since the first SEWF in 2008, the notion of social enterprise has grown into a truly global phenomenon. According to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor’s (GEM) Social Entrepreneurship Report, around 3.2% of the world’s population is starting social ventures. In Africa, according to the British Council, co-operatives account for 45% of Kenya’s GDP, generating more money than either public or private sectors.

Role of the private sector

While governments may be responsible for creating the right conditions and legislation to address the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, corporations like SAP are in a unique position to contribute, says Alexandra van der Ploeg. SEWF’s partnership with SAP, which was announced at the 2018 world forum, aims to play a significant role in providing more social enterprises with technology platforms, skilled talent and access to markets that they need to be successful.

“Ethiopia, which hosted this year’s SEWF, is a great example,” adds van der Ploeg. “The social enterprise sector is a young and women-led movement. There are more than 55,000 social enterprises in the country and half of social enterprise leaders are aged under 35. Women lead over a quarter (28%) of social enterprises, compared to leading just 4.5% of mainstream Ethiopian businesses, so it’s clear to see how this sector is addressing both youth and women employability.”

SAP global social sabbatical programme

One way in which SAP has been demonstrating support for African social enterprises is through its global social sabbatical programme, a portfolio of pro-bono volunteering assignments where highly diverse teams of SAP employees provide their skills and business expertise in the service of social enterprises and non-profit organisations. Africa has been one of the largest recipients of this capacity building programme with 278 employees contributing over 88,000 hours across 13 countries, with an estimated impact on 1.4 million beneficiaries. Ahead of this year’s forum, five teams of volunteers participated in the third social sabbatical in Ethiopia, with all teams supporting social enterprises – ranging from those addressing digital skills to infant nutrition to women empowerment.

Cathy Smith, the managing director of SAP Africa, speaking at SEWF in Addis Ababa, said social enterprises had a critical role to play on the African continent by tackling inequality, engaging traditional knowledge and indigenous resources, and connecting rural women to global markets.

Accelerating social impact

“It’s significant for this year’s SEWF to have been hosted in Africa. Social entrepreneurs are driving some of the most innovative approaches to solving socio-economic challenges on the continent, but they often lack market access, which limits their capacity to build thriving businesses and create a lasting positive impact. If we help them to run better businesses, we essentially accelerate the social impact they have,” said Smith.

“While our focus has traditionally been on digital skills and capacity building, we are now turning our attention to social procurement. The global digital marketplace for B2B commerce is worth trillions of dollars annually, and the majority of these B2B transactions are managed through the SAP Ariba Network. This provides a unique opportunity for SAP to expand our approach in the social enterprise space and I am incredibly excited about how this will evolve on the continent”.

Pregnant Ashley Graham Shares Her Fave Butt Workout Video for New YouTube Series

You Need Posted on by

Supermodel, body positivity activist and soon-to-be mom Ashley Graham has been documenting her pregnancy on social media since she announced she was expecting on Instagram in August. But her latest YouTube video series isn’t only about her growing baby bump—it's also about her exercise routine.

In her introductory video for the YouTube series, called "Thank Bod with Ashley Graham," the 31-year-old explained that her newly-changing body prompted her to appreciate it a bit more. "I've been reminded of how awesome bodies really, truly are," she said. "I started 'Thank Bod' in hopes of reminding you to stand in your magic, even on days when you're not feeling so great."

Graham said that she wants her YouTube series to be a place for women to see exercise as "fun, empowering, and mindful." 

For her first video in the workout series, Graham shared a six-minute workout that focuses on her butt, aptly called "Love Your Booty." The workout consists of two circuits developed by Graham’s certified personal trainer Kira Stokes, and includes squats, air squat pulses, tap outs, and side squats in the first circuit. (Just FYI: Graham said air squat pulses are a great move to practice before you give birth—at least according to women who have already given birth.)

RELATED: Ashley Graham Shares Nude Pregnancy Video on Instagram to 'Embrace' Her Changing Body

Graham, 31, demonstrates all the moves using an exercise band for extra resistance. But it’s her commentary that really sets this above your typical pregnancy workout. Sure, she gives great practical tips for how to get maximum results (e.g., if you’re not feeling the burn, go up in band resistance and squeeze your booty "tight like a tiger"), but it’s the rest of her chat way too relatable.

"Can you tell I'm out of breath?" she asks her viewers. "That's because I have 30 extra pounds on me, because I'm pregnant." 

RELATED: Britney Spears Posted a Video Doing Yoga in a String Bikini—and Her Routine Looks Intense

Later in the video, after making her way to the mat, Graham does a few more butt exercises—specifically focusing on one called a "clamshell," which entails her laying on her side, opening and closing her legs. “I’m not just laying here seductively,” Graham says as she does the exercise. When she's on the ground, Graham also does some extended leg raises with her resistance band. 

But her booty video wasn't the only installation of Graham's new workout series—she debuted a cardio video as well, called "Cardio Peace Treaty." Graham is shown doing tons of different heart-rate boosting exercises like modified jumping jacks, lateral shuffles, back-and-forth shuffles, and an entire circuit devoted to ladder work. 

After each workout video, you can see that Graham is clearly out of breath and visibly sweating (so yeah, she's really doing those exercises). So in addition to being a body-positive warrior, Graham is also apparently the workout buddy you never knew you needed.

News24.com | JMPD wrestle mania: Officers to undertake combat, self-defence training

You Need Posted on by

Officers from the Johannesburg Metro Police Department (JMPD) are expected to undergo combat and restraining techniques training to defend themselves from physical attacks.

This comes after video footage went viral showing a JMPD officer wrestling with a motorist.

In the clip, the armed officer is seen being overpowered by the motorist and falling to the ground, while onlookers recorded the incident on their cellphones.

On Tuesday, mayoral committee member for public safety in the City of Johannesburg, Michael Sun, said the City noted the viral video clip with great concern, and had instructed his officers to investigate the incident further.

“It is alleged that about three months ago while on patrol, two JMPD officers came across a taxi driver operating his mobile phone while driving on Old Pretoria Road in Marlboro.

“The officers, in their full uniform and marked patrol vehicle, immediately sounded their police sirens and signalled for the taxi driver to stop using his phone. Despite this warning, the taxi driver allegedly gestured rudely at the officers with his finger, which is when the officers signalled again with both a police siren and lights for the taxi driver to pull over.

“Upon requesting to see his driver’s licence and identification, the taxi driver is said to have aggressively told the officers that he had neither,” Sun said. 

The officers then decided to confiscate his keys to avoid him from driving away. Following this, the driver is alleged to have attacked one of the officer before driving away.

“The JMPD officers then called for back-up and the taxi driver was stopped and arrested at the corner of Old Pretoria and Ark Wright roads,” Sun said.

He added that it was unacceptable that some motorists continue to have such disregard for the law and safety of fellow motorists.

“JMPD officers go out to ensure the safety of residents and cannot be seen to compromise on this. They will use the necessary force whenever required. This is also another reminder to us that our JMPD officers will require further training in terms of close-quarter combat and restraining techniques going forward,” said Sun.

He added a case of reckless and negligent driving and assault with intent to cause grievous bodily was opened at the Bramley police station soon after the incident and investigations were continuing.

Health24.com | The 10 exercises you need for strong, toned arms

You Need Posted on by

Flabby arms are the bane of many, especially if you want to wear short-sleeved dresses and tops. Women’s Health Next Fitness Star finalist and certified personal and group fitness instructor Renché Seyffert has a home exercise programme that’ll get your arms in shape for summer.

Perform 12-15 reps of each move with as little rest as possible between the exercises. Take a rest for a minute and repeat two or three times to complete a total of four rounds. The weight will vary from person to person.

Home exercise programme: choosing the correct weights

You should be able to maintain proper posture throughout. If you can’t, it means the weights are too heavy. Rather opt for lighter weights. Your weights shouldn’t be too light either – if they are, you won’t reap the intended benefits.

Take note: It’s important to focus on correct posture to avoid injury. Keep your core engaged throughout this home exercise programme.

1. Sun Risers

Muscles targeted: Shoulders and back

Do the move: (1) Stand upright, feet shoulder-width apart. (2) Hold your dumbbells, so your palms are facing forward (away from your body). (3) Keep palms facing forward throughout the entire movement. (4) Slowly lift arms up to the sides to make a circle to the top. (5) Slowly lower arms back down to the starting position.

(6) Bend over and return to starting position.

3. Around the World with Tricep Extensions

Muscles targeted: Triceps and core muscles (acting as stabilisers)

Do the move: (1) Stand up straight, feet shoulder-width apart, using one weight. (2) Hold the weight with both hands over your head. (3) Bend the elbows to lower the weight down towards your back and lift it back up by straightening your arms. (4) Make a circle with your arms as if rotating around your head.

News24.com | Siya Kolisi’s father takes first trip abroad to watch son lead Boks in RWC final

You Need Posted on by

Springbok captain Siya Kolisi will have a special man watching him from the stands of the Yokohama Stadium in Japan when he leads out the Boks in Saturday’s Rugby World Cup final against England.

The match will also be Siya’s 50th in a Bok jersey, having made his debut against Scotland in Nelspruit in 2013.

The special man will be his father, Fezakele Kolisi.

The news was shared by Siya’s wife, Rachel, on her Instagram account on Monday.

Captioned “My dads are on their way to Japan…” the post also revealed it would be Fezakele’s first trip abroad.

‘What a time to be alive,” she ended the caption.

It is also extra special as Fezakele missed Siya’s first match as Bok captain last year, but will now watch him in arguably the biggest game of his captaincy to date.

The Springboks will be playing in their third World Cup final on Saturday (kick-off at 11:00 local time), having won both the 1995 and 2007 finals.

The 12-year difference between the two World Cup wins has been dubbed a good omen for the Boks in some quarters, with Siya recalling, after their narrow 19-16 win over Wales in the semi-final on Sunday, how he watched the 2007 final at a local tavern because he did not have a TV at home.

“I was watching it in a tavern because I didn’t have a TV at home,” he told reporters. “I know what it did for us back then. I have never seen people come together over sport [like that].”

Ahead of Saturday’s final, President Cyril Ramaphosa has fired the opening shot to his British counterpart, Boris Johnson, tweeting: “See you on Saturday BoJo when you will be watching Siya, the team and I hoist high the Webb Ellis Cup.”
