From the previous 7 issues on this vexatious subject, I have laid out the bones of a framework that can help solve the problems we have come up against. We have managed, by dint of a lot of trial & error, discussions and arguments, lateral thinking and more enlightened awareness, engineered a solution that is workable, affordable and can be employed selectively or en masse.
At the end of the day, it all revolves around money.
'Money talks and bulldust walks.'
We, as the hardworking God-fearing taxpayers, have had to put in our share of the cake we have worked so hard for, in order to allow (mostly) unqualified people to decide 'what is good for the nation.'
We've all seen how that is working out…
But…
In their wisdom, our political masters have (mistakenly?) left a door just slightly ajar to allow some good to be achieved through hard work, clever thinking and actually using a bit of their system to help solve the problems.
To do good for us, the aviation and tech related industries.
By following a long and difficult process, with many brick walls frantically thrown up in front of us by the minions working in the ministries, we are now about to see the light on how to get our 'own back'…
It's called: Section 18a in the SARS handbook.
And it means that we get the Government to pay for YOUR CHOICE on how to spend YOUR tax money. Not all of your tax, but a nice usable chunk that will go a looooong way to solving the issue under discussion.
AND
With No input and clawing back by our esteemed Regulator…
No deciding on which students get boosted (175 hours and STILL not solo?). Yet on they plough, whilst others more capable stand in the dust of their prop wash…
No.
No more. Now we use the dosh to do 'The Right Thing'.
We promote willing and capable students from ANYWHERE across our fair land, regardless of race, sex, creed or location. No political interference. Please. Oh, is that so? Here's the door, on your way mate…
I am not young enough to know everything.
But I've been around the block in business, aviation and associated training, trained thousands of people to achieve better lives and have developed an understanding of the processes involved.
By getting individuals and companies to support us, you will assist in:
1. Help us to boost the willing and enthusiastic youngsters out there to achieve a better life and hopefully enter tertiary education for aviation or tech industries to snap up.
2. Qualify for a tax-deductible invoice and assistance with your BBEEE scorecard points (if required).
Think about becoming an active part of the solution. We've all had enough of the problem.
