• If we are to register for PM specialization then
  we must register every specialist discipline
• Membership of voluntary socieites assists members
  keep up with appropriate technology

If there is a problem then prevention is better
than cure Address it at University level of all
development professionals

CBE Funding

• Bill says no funding from State - all
• R 1.5m carried by professionals
• Meeting 19 April says R15 per head, and State
  balance
• Yesterday different.

Our President, Thabo Mbeki in his book
Africa The time has come.

• ...the African renaissance can only succeed if
  its aims and objectives are defined by the
  Africans themselves, if its programmes are
  designed by ourselves and if we take
  responsibility for the success or failure of our
  policies
