Africa Virtual Job Fair

ZebraJobs.com to Host First Virtual Job Fair in Africa
InXpo Selected to Power the Groundbreaking Event

Chicago, IL (May 11, 2009): As economic times drive more and more recruitment efforts online, virtual job fairs enable job seekers to connect with potential employers, review job openings and submit resumes all from their computer. For ZebraJobs.com, an online job-hunting platform for skilled professionals in Africa, a virtual job fair is a cost-effective and green way to connect employers with Africa’s greatest asset – its people. On September 30, 2009, ZebraJobs.com will hold Africa’s first ever virtual job fair, which will be powered by InXpo, the leading provider of virtual events and experiences.

“Partnering with InXpo will bring our previous efforts of creating communication between employers and jobseekers to life in an economical and environmentally-friendly way, where attendees from every African nation can participate right from their desktops without the time and cost of travel,” said Yusuf Reja, Chief Executive Officer of Zebrajobs.com.

With just a computer and internet connection, job seekers at ZebraJobs.com’s virtual job fair can research potential employers in the exhibit hall, network with others in the lounge, and win a chance for round-trip airfare to Africa in the prize center. Job seekers can also exchange information and connect with recruiters and employers in real time via one-to-one text or video chat, vCard exchanges, and personal messages. Zebrajobs.com is a joint venture between the African-based company, Info Mind Solutions, headquartered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and US-based, Danya International, Inc., headquartered in Silver Spring, Maryland.

“We are pleased to be a part of such a historic virtual job fair that will connect, educate and engage job seekers from all over the continent with recruiters, uniting talent with opportunities to power Africa’s economy,” said Malcolm Lotzof, CEO of InXpo, a native of South Africa himself.

ZebraJobs.com, in conjunction with The Corporate Council on Africa, will hold an invitation-only kick-off party this Thursday, May 14th in Washington D.C. to inaugurate this virtual job fair. Co-hosted by The Honorable Jendayi Frazer, former Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, and Her Excellency Amina Salum Ali, the African Ambassador to the U.S., the event will emphasize the importance of “Reversing Brain Drain—mobilizing professional Africans in the Diaspora for the Development of Africa.”

::FINALLY IT HAS ARRIVED:: FIFA 2010 World Cup SOUTH AFRICA


Expectations are high as preparations in South Africa’s host cities shift into top gear, with the erection and upgrade of stadiums and the building and modification of road networks, as the country readies itself to host the biggest football extravaganza for the very first time on the African continent.

“We want, on behalf of our continent, to stage an event that will send ripples of confidence from the Cape to Cairo – an event that will create social and economic opportunities throughout Africa. We want to ensure that one day, historians will reflect upon the 2010 World Cup as a moment when Africa stood tall and resolutely turned the tide on centuries of poverty and conflict. We want to show that Africa’s time has come.”
Mr Thabo Mbeki – former President of South Africa

Five new stadiums are being built for the tournament, and five of the existing venues are to be upgraded. Construction costs are expected to be R8.4 bn. In addition to the stadiums being built and upgraded, South Africa is also planning to improve its current public transport infrastructure within the various cities, with projects such as the Gautrain and the new Bus Rapid Transit system (BRT) titled Rea Vaya.

•By 2008, the build-up to the 2010 World Cup had already created 80 000 job opportunities in the local hospitality sector. It is estimated that over the next three years, a further 116 000 jobs will be created.
• 2010 is stimulating growth in the construction industry. The number of formal jobs in the construction industry has risen to 100 000 in 2008 compared to 60 000 three years ago, and some experts expect this to rise to more than 160000 by 2013.
• The projected direct, indirect and induced impact of the total budgeted spend for the six new stadiums is R18,9 billion or 1,8 times the actual spend. Of this R18, 9 billion, around R2 billion will directly benefit low-income households and a further R7, 7 million other households.
• The OC has agreed to procure 30% of the products and services it needs from small businesses and Black Economic Empowerment companies.
•Government and the OC have embarked on road shows across the country to inform small business about the opportunities available from the World Cup.

As of February 2008, the national Government’s contributions to World Cuprelated projects is R28 billion. The major contributions are to:
• Stadiums and precinct development: R9 841 million
• Transport: R11 728 million
• Broadcast and telecommunications: R300 million
• Event operations: R684 million
• Safety and security: R1 305 million
• Event volunteer training: R25 million
• Ports of entry infrastructure: R3 500 million
• Immigration support: R630 million
• Communications, hosting, legacy and culture: R504 million.

In addition, provincial and local government and other partners are investing in developments related to the World Cup.

The 2010 World Cup is stimulating development in neighboring countries as well. For instance, Mozambique will spend $51 million on the rehabilitation of a railway line between Maputo and South Africa, and is also upgrading its road network. Mozambique is investing $600 million in new hotels, casinos and other leisure facilities.
Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe are collectively using the World Cup to develop the seven transfrontier conservation areas (TFCAs) in the region. This TFCA route will offer tourists the unforgettable experience of two oceans, vast landscapes, major rivers, deserts, canyons, mountains and diverse cultures across the nine countries in one trail. 2010 TFCA developments include joint marketing, development of services and packages, investment and infrastructure and ease of movement for tourists across borders.

The New Partnership for Africa’s Development Information and Communications Technology Broadband Infrastructure Net (Uhurunet) is a $2-billion submarine cable to connect Africa directly to India, the Middle East, Europe and Brazil. The 50 000-km cable will reduce the telecommunications costs in Africa. The cable will be completed to provide telecommunications for the 2010 World Cup.

2010 is an opportunity to speed up growth and development, to market this country and the continent to the world; and an opportunity to create jobs all over the African continent.

OPENING NIGHTscreening of 13 MONTHS OF SUNSHINEFirst-time director Yehdego Abeselom demonstrates a light touch in this drama that explores the tensions between traditional values, cultural identity and the pursuit of one's dreams. In Los Angeles, Soloman and Hanna enter a marriage of convenience that becomes complicated with intimacy, love, jealousy and a clash of cultural values. A uniquely Ethiopian experience of the American dream. (Note courtesy of British Film Institute) DIR/SCR/PROD Yehdego Abeselom; PROD Jeremiah Lewis. US, 2007, color, 98 min.

(Note courtesy of World Cinema Foundation) DIR/SCR Ahmed El Maanouni; PROD Izza Gennini. Morocco/France, 1981, color, 90 min. In Arabic with English subtitles. NOT RATED.

A young cowherd, Mory, leaves the countryside for the city of Dakar, where he rides around town on a motorcycle adorned with a cow’s skull. Along with his girlfriend, Anta, he dreams of leaving Dakar for Paris, and the two fall into a series of petty crimes and cons to raise the money.

When Nalla joins a champion team, he learns there’s a spiritual aspect to the sport, one that goes beyond the muscles, money and the ladies. Cheikh Ndiaye’s engaging film twists the familiar images of Africa, cutting from nightclubs to ancestral ceremonies to streets where boom- boxes play and athletes in traditional dress and sneakers dance their way to victory.

In French with English subtitles. NOT RATED DIR/SCR/PROD Joséphine Ndagnou.

THE CATHEDRAL (La Cathédrale)- Monday, March 23, 9:30 PMTHE CATHEDRAL is a lyrical narration set in the beautiful and unusual setting of Port Louis, capital of Mauritius.

HYENAS- Wednesday, March 25, 9:15 PMMambéty’s second and last feature, HYENAS, adapts a timeless parable of human greed into a biting satire of today’s Africa, where the hopes of independence are betrayed for the empty promises of Western materialism. Linguère Ramatou, a woman “rich as the World Bank” returns to the decaying backwaters of Colobane where she bribes the villagers to kill her former lover, Dramaan. Dramaan had betrayed Ramatou and then cast her out of the village when she became pregnant with his child. Her revenge reveals the hunger for wealth that controls the hearts of the villagers—like hyenas, they ruthlessly feed off the weakness of others.

Business Etiquette in Africa

Information courtesy of http://www.pasadenaisd.org

Business Etiquette in Africa
The northern countries countries bordering the Mediterranean are Islamic, and you can expect that the kind of lavish generosity, indirect business discussions, expansive sense of time, and second class citizen status for women found in the Arabic countries is found here too.
Handshakes
Soft handshakes are common across Africa. In countries with large populations, such as Kenya and South Africa, you can expect European style handshakes from the white people you'll meet. In South Africa, handshakes between whites and whites, in the one hand, and blacks and whites on the other differ. Although white people shake the hand of another white person in much the same way as in northern Europe, whites and blacks shake hands with an additional flourish. After shaking the full hand, they grasp thumbs and then return to a full handshake. In the Muslim countries of northern Africa, you may find men holding handshakes so long that they become a handhold. Do not be offended. This is a common practice.
Names and Titles
You can never go wrong by using last names and titles when you first meet. Academic titles add a great deal of luster.
Business Attire
Conservative is the keyword. In particular hot countries, some easing up on the dark business suit is permitted. And, of course, your host will not be bound to Western dress. He may show up in dressy traditional attire.
Dining and Entertaining
Africans are justly famous for the pleasure they take in eating and entertaining and for their generosity. If you are invited to someone's home almost anywhere in Africa, be prepared - your host will go all out to impress you. In many countries, you will find no utensils of any kind and will be expected to eat with your hands. Remember, in Muslim countries, not to eat with your left hands. Watch your hosts in other countries for similar taboos. When in doubt, do as your host does.
Gifts
In Jewish homes, a gift of flowers to the host is preferred. but gifts to the host are frowned on in Muslim homes. and under no circumstances, should you give a Muslim a gift of alcohol, a picture of anyone or of any animal or anything made from pigs.
Social Taboos
In most of the Middle East, it's bad manners for an outsider to discuss politics or religion. Showing the soles of your shoes or feet is rude in Turkey and in the Arabic countries, as is openly disagreeing with someone. And in Turkey, fist names are only used when you know the person very well.The thumbs-up sign is rude in Muslim countries.
