A sexwale is the deck of a cruise ship that had been reinforced for carnal debauchery.

Just to be clear, it's pronounced "sex whale", right?

Spangly A posted:Tokyo Sexwale, a man mysteriously rich from gold and diamonds after being locked up alongside Mandela in Robben Island, is the favourite. Its not really mysterious how he made his fortune, when the ANC came to power they pursued a policy of black economic empowerment (BEE) and specifically targeted the mining and extractive sector in the early days. In order to secure new prospecting or mining licences companies had to have a certain percentage of shares owned by black run investment vehicles. At the same time the big five mining companies launched an unbundling/restructuring of their assets encouraged by the government to try to break apart the massive unwieldy super corporations like Anglo American that had developed under Apartheid when foreign companies weren't too keen to set up shop in South Africa. Suddenly mining companies needed to find black entrepreneurs as partners and considering the resources available to the average black citizen the only individuals with the connections (and political capital) to raise the kind of funds needed to create the new black investment vehicles were well placed party cadres like Sexwale. Sexwale made a lot of his money as the black economic empowerment partner to the massive Rembrandt group, owned by the billionaire Rupert family. kustomkarkommando fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Dec 24, 2015 |

Reviving this thread because FIFA's General Secretariat is now being run by Fatma Samba Diouf Samoura, whose main experience comes from working for the UN Development Program and running UN food programs, and will hopefully have no time for all this soccer boys' club corruption bullshit. (Not as if the UNDP and WFP don't have corruption problems of their own, of course ) It's also worthy to note that the Secretary General position was Sepp Blatter's stepping stone to the Presidency.

Oh, hey, FIFA got raided again. Though in fairness, I suppose it is pretty easy to tell yourself that giving yourself an$80 million bonus is a good idea.
