IN PURSUIT OF THE AFRICA I WANT – AN AFRICA CHARACTERIZED BY EXCELLENCE

[7/27, 2:45 PM] mdmawere1: [7/27, 12:10 PM] mdmawere1: Good day.
[7/27, 12:25 PM] Lyssius Architecture Pty Ltd: Hi Mr Mawere, how are you?
[7/27, 12:30 PM] mdmawere1: Fine and you. We had dinner with Paida. Wanted to confirm if you are still interested in being part of the BUILT community actors building intiative?
[7/27, 1:11 PM] Lyssius Architecture Pty Ltd: How did the meeting go and what was the outcome from the meeting
[7/27, 1:12 PM] mdmawere1: It is was great and we are moving on the project to aggregate, optimize and accelerate the bridging of soft skills to market opportunities. Your team is missing in action.
[7/27, 1:17 PM] Lyssius Architecture Pty Ltd: My team is missing in action as they are not clear on what the platform will give them, too many grey areas haven’t been addressed
[7/27, 1:19 PM] mdmawere1: You are asking a pertinent question. How best do you think, this should be answered? As a professional, would you want to be spoon-fed by a platform or be a part of a network that you can be visible?
[7/27, 3:07 PM] Siba Mabhena: Good afternoon sir
[7/27, 3:08 PM] Siba Mabhena: This conversation sounds like my friend’s
[7/27, 3:08 PM] mdmawere1: Good afternoon.
[7/27, 3:08 PM] mdmawere1: Did you get any value for your membership last Saturday?
[7/27, 3:11 PM] Siba Mabhena: It’s the genesis of great prospects so yeah it’s worth it
[7/27, 3:12 PM] mdmawere1: From what you learned, was the value equivalent to R1000, less or more?
[7/27, 3:15 PM] Siba Mabhena: It’s not a clear cut area to quantify knowledge in monetary value but I would say the awareness I got is more
[7/27, 3:20 PM] mdmawere1: Do you agree that a meal does not self-create? Do you agree that a venue is not free? Do you agree that hosting people at your house is a privilege that must never be taken for granted? Do you agree that someone giving up time to share insights, experiences, ideas and knowledge can and should never be taken for granted? Do you agree that you were a participant in a wide ranging conversation between some of the brightest minds our own time on the BUILT promise and challenges in Africa and why it is dark at midnight when it comes to shinning stars in the arena of architecture? Do you agree that at the end, proposals were made including the practicability of the General Electric model to the circumstances that we find ourselves in? Who stood out that night as a person or persons who you believe you can bank on as POL in their disciplines in Africa?
[7/27, 4:00 PM] Siba Mabhena: I certainly do concur on all points and I consider myself privileged to have been in the midst of such great minds.

Mr Harold stood out the most with his steel engineering then the Doc with the 3D printing and also Mr Paida with his Rwandese exploits and left me wanting more time with such minds, also you being trusted by such great minds says a lot about you.
[7/27, 4:04 PM] mdmawere1: Where do you think you would have accessed the minds and experiences you did for just becoming a paid up member?
[7/27, 4:07 PM] Siba Mabhena: Not even in my wildest dreams.
[7/27, 4:12 PM] mdmawere1: Yet a person like Lyssicious is of the opinion that no value exists or has been manifest?
[7/27, 4:13 PM] Siba Mabhena: Well the challenge is they want to see visible structures first with laid out benefits etc
[7/27, 4:14 PM] mdmawere1: Do you agree that the moment one imports the proverbial WE then that marks the end of individual sovreignty?
[7/27, 4:15 PM] Siba Mabhena: I concur.
[7/27, 4:17 PM] mdmawere1: If you were asked to name 5 shinning stars who you believe you can point to as references of the character and personality of the Africa you dream of, who would they be by order of preference and why?
[7/27, 4:24 PM] Siba Mabhena: In terms of business or in general?
[7/27, 4:24 PM] mdmawere1: You choose.
[7/27, 4:24 PM] Siba Mabhena: Ok give me a moment am getting into a meeting.
