    About this ebook

    Parable articulated in Matthew 25, profiles the need to dig up the buried talents and maximise these, as a faithful steward. The book encapsulates the authors inner drive to pen events and thoughts that occupied her space. Focusing on Nandis dimple, which is Gods given trademark that must be protected and treasured, the book illuminates the authors thought processes.

    Well known to be a slow actor and mistakenly referred to as indecisive, she spends moments extracting the best out of every situation. Over years, she learnt the ability to transcend situations and rise to the best occasion.

    These thoughts have been packaged to unveil her physical, social and spiritual life, portraying her origins and how her upbringing has affected her professional and spiritual being.

    The views herein present the author as an individual, driven by her analytical skills, capturing Nandi the child, spiritual being, parent, the mentor and the mentored. The author belongs to a great clan of thinkers and cultural beings. She acknowledges military members who identified the talent and continually instructed her to put pen to paper.

    Finally, the ground breaking publication has revived the sleeping giant within the author and all that is there to say is that the pen is going to claim its power, more than ever!

      Brief Story about the Author

      Advocate Nandipha Ntsaluba was born in Tsomo, Tsojana. She is the first born of a family of five, a family which is a microcosm of a bigger heritage of Wilson Mfengu Ntsaluba, whose core had twenty-two siblings. She studied in Upper Gqogqorha, under the principalship of her father Ndyebo, Sylvester Etheridge Ntsaluba, the youngest son of the aforementioned cited family-tree member. She then proceeded to Clarkebury High School in Engcobo, a Methodist institution, to pursue her Junior Certificate and finished her matric at St Johns College, Umtata, an Anglican institution. She further enrolled for Bachelor of Science degree at the University of Transkei, and later enrolled for the postgraduate diploma in education, which landed her at Nyanga Senior Secondary School where she started her career as a maths and science teacher, at the age of twenty-one. She took up the placement at the instruction of her father who in turn wanted her to teach and guide the siblings who were enrolled at Nyanga at the time under the principalship of the late Mr Obose.

      She holds a BSc, BEd, MEd, MBL, as well as the certificate programmes in economics and public finance, industrial relations management, programme in entrepreneurship, and programme in business leadership. In 2009, she completed the LLB programme at UNISA, majoring in environmental law, law of sale and lease, law of patent and copyright, tax law, advanced bills of exchange, international trade, and the interpretation of legal documents and text. She further completed various programmes at the legal education and development during 2009, notably being the practical law training, practice management as well as the public notary programme.

      During 2003, she attained masters of business leadership (MBL), with electives (areas of specialisation) such as international financial markets, services marketing, advanced financial management and corporate and business strategy (with emphasis on the impact of shareholder activism, as promoted through the PFMA and King II Report on corporate governance). As part of financial strategy, she had to assess the business and financial risk of MCell, using the financial statements for the last three financial years, and conduct both company and project evaluations using the Net Present Value, DCF, WACC, internal rate of return as well as perform sensitivity analysis for various scenarios. She developed a working paper for advanced financial management is on CAPM relevancy within the South African context.

      Her skills as a strategist and as a researcher excelled during the MBL programme, and during that period, her stint at SAB Miller for the action research project provided SAB Miller with strategic positioning advice within the global beer industry through a competitor analysis exercise, business intelligence as well as the analysis of SAB Miller’s global growth strategy and its effects on the business and functional strategies. The astute competencies earned the group a distinction from the research-based SAB Miller Janus project with the group being awarded the CSIR trophy for the 2003, for the best in-depth company analysis by Unisa SBL.

      In 2006, she got employed by the Department of Defence as Director: Defence planning and programming, located within the strategy, policy and planning division. The job specification entailed ensuring development, review, and monitoring of the administrative instruments aimed at strengthening efficacy of DOD’s governance and risk and compliance framework, in line with government legislation governing accountable, economic, efficient, effective, and equitable resource identification, mobilisation and appropriation of resources. Critical to the operationalisation of the mandate was the astute stakeholder identification, analysis, and management as a means of strengthening civil and military relations. This responsibility has allowed her to comprehensively utilise her skills in corporate and business strategy (chaos strategy), international financial markets, marketing and advanced financial management in developing various instruments aimed at measuring internal, external, and allocative efficiency of the directorate, the division, and the department and negotiating for parity where imbalances were observed. During 2008, the increasing focus on strengthening the oversight role of the secretariat and sharpening of machinery to realise internal, external, and allocative efficiency saw the directorate grow organically to three directorates, performance monitoring, strategy and planning, and risk management.

      She has further utilised her skills in contract management in various capacities within the department. As a member of the Alternative Service Delivery (ASD) of the Department of Defence, she has been involved in the evaluation of requests for utilisation of external service providers, development of technical requirements, as well as strengthening the instruments for contract management to give effect to the distinctive features of the DOD. As a member of the Defence Research and Development Board(DRDB), she has been involved in the evaluation of requests for technology development as well as ensuring the widening of access to technology careers and opportunities to Historically Disadvantanged Institutions (HDI’s) as decisive intervention to help increase DOD’s contribution to the research and development index.

      Within the education and training sector, she has participated in the development, implementation, and reviewing of outcome-based education. She represented the department in the development of the first foresight project that was led by Department of Arts, Culture, and Technology. In the foresight project, the maximal participation was in the development of the HR foresight cross-cutting implications of the various sectorial projections. As a policy and legislation developer of the policy on the transformation of education and, in particular, higher education and training, she has developed various working and position papers notably, Green Paper of further education and training as well as the transformation of community colleges to align to the WP on FET. This excludes the experience that has been gained in the negotiation of various contracts with National Business Initiative (NBI), SITA, and the various private providers for educational programmes and qualifications with accredited financial institutions, to mention but a few. The latter mentioned have been characteristics of her earlier careers which included the regulation of private providers in education and training, recapitalisation of FET colleges, including PPP training, evaluation of content of SLA’s informing enhancement of evaluation engagements with service providers charged with provision of educational services.

      Her earlier career in policy development is marked by her employment by the National Department of Education, as a chief education specialist responsible for leading the strategic development of systems and processes for the regulating private education provision so as to ensure consumer protection within the provisioning of programmes and qualifications offered at private Further Education and Training Institutions, in terms of the Further Education and Training Act No. 97 of 1998. This responsibility by its very nature required compliance with the labour laws, Companies Act, (South African Qualifications Authority) SAQA Act, Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1973, Unfair Business practice Act as well as interaction with the Quality Assurance Bodies (emanating from the Skills Development Act 97 of 1998), GENFETQA Act and Higher Education Act, 1996 for programme evaluation and institutional
