The Momentum Cricket Sixes Big names, big sponsors, big sixes and big team spirit‌ the perfect mix for the world class Momentum Cricket Sixes recently held in Johannesburg.

The brainchild of Graeme Smith, Mark Boucher, Justin Kemp and Doug Worth guaranteed a cricket tournament of epic proportions and a highlight on the cricketing calendar. Ten Corporates combined efforts with a host of cricketing legends and talented cricketers and ensured a day of superb entertainment out on the field.

Big productivity from a small footprint.

The new SHARP MX-B382 A4 network mono MFP uses the same smart features and high performance technology that's built into the A3 MFPs, packed into a space-saving design that will fit right next to a filing cabinet. Everything about this MFP has been designed to increase productivity - the fast print speed of up to 38 ppm even at 1200 x 1200 dpi, the fast scan speed of up to 33 ppm, the powerful management functions and the remote access control panel facility. The colour touch-screen LCD display with customised keys and thumbnail previews provides easy navigation in IT-oriented workflow intensive environments.

Trout Fishing in New Zealand I recently had the great joy of shifting attention from competition on the New Zealand rugby turf to competition in the spectacular rivers in the Marlborough region…with Latitude Guiding and tour guide Mike Kirkpatric. In the stillness of this spectacular countryside, I had the privilege of participating in a sport (relaxing pastime) that offers up a welcome respite to the hub of a busy schedule! Priceless!

The raw beauty of the New Zealand country is overwhelming and if you find yourself on these shores and are looking to fish, I highly recommend Latitude Guiding www.latitudeguiding.co.nz Check out some of their clips. Watch at the highest settings. C l i c k t o v i e w l i n k o n l i n e VIEW THE OFFICIAL VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE

SA RUGBY Business Network Booming The success of the SA Rugby Business Network continues to flourish under the chairmanship of Bob Skinstad. With representation of 25 000 members in 50 cities around the globe, RBN is the world’s biggest and most influential business network for people with a passion for rugby.

Recent events in Cape Town and Johannesburg have seen Michael Charton, CA & Historian, give riveting presentations on the winning 1937 Springbok Tour to NZ which changed the course of rugby between the two nations….and these were enjoyed at events both in Cape Town and Johannesburg. A chat by former Springbok, James Dalton, enigmatic, charming and

dynamic as ever, gave an honest insight into his move from rugby to business and all the lessons therein – appreciated and well received by the full house at The Cape Town Club.

“

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.

Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.

Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

They somehow already know what you truly want to become.

Everything else is secondary.

- Steve Jobs -
