Afrika Kuamka

Kuamka means “get up” or “arise” in Swahili. A series of books linking the concepts brought forward by Dr Rudolf Steiner to help find a smart and sustainable way for Africa to link into economic activity.

I decided to create this personal blog for the following main reasons:

• I believe that I know my own path to increased and improved consciousness.  This means that I can describe my own growth in Human capacities and how they came about.  I have found this to be of great practicality and use to some people that I work closely with.  In essence, therefore, I am saying that I am able to share and want to share.  I have not found a lot of the same when I have met the many people that I have had the fortune to meet.  I feel, therefore, that this kind of sharing is new and needs to be done as one of the many initiatives that will lead to a better world.
• I have led the formation of a small Group of Companies called the Bosun Group.  We grew without initiating Shareholder Capital.  We did it on borrowings and our Humanity – we linked borrowed capital to our Humanity effectively.  We stayed humbly in reality and worked from here; I can say that over the whole time ‘humbly’ might be a fair claim but in the earlier times this was not the case.  During this time of building, we watched our competitors doing things in a different way.  It has come to a point where I feel that we have an unfair advantage over them purely because we are committed to the Humanity in each of us while they are committed to the illusion of profit being the source of all growth.  I place this information out there for them also.
• I share not because I feel that anything that I share is better, but rather that it is shared in complete openness and sacrifice as MY experience.  I offer this as a free gift to anyone interested.  Holes will be found in my logic, but nevertheless, it is an honest attempt to share who I am.  Hopefully it serves as a peg in the ground, an anchoring point for others to use as an honest and clear point of reference or departure.
• The intention of the content is to link philosophy with practical application in our modern world.  You will, therefore, find most ideals and ideals linked to practical day to day examples.  This is what is perhaps most different between the content here and the content of only practical life or only the world of ideas.  The concepts that are given may not be mine, but the application to practical outcomes and inner development is where I have spent my time.  I will try to stay away from the writing of pure philosophy where this has been written about more than adequately by others.  I will just try to link it to practical daily application through examples.
• My own place in society also needs a reference point.  I found this reference point while studying the Threefold Social order or Commonwealth, by Dr Rudolf Steiner.  I have decided to place myself within the concept of this Threefold Social order and share what I have learnt as part of my wish to support and promote a development of a better world, a better society.  This structure also gives me the chance to split my personal growth path and my learnings in business into a structure and format that will hopefully assist the coming into being of this ideal societal structure of the future.
• Should this website at any point become of any commercial value or receive financial support from society at large, I will give 50% of this to the promotion of Anthroposophy directly by the main Society based in Dornach, Switzerland, and 25% to the Christian Community – the organisation that busies itself with the renewal of the Sacraments.  The balance I will have to decide on.  It is from the works of Dr Steiner and those close to him at the time that I owe most of what I am competent with today.
• In my mind, you will be doing the right thing if you are trying to use the content for the betterment of yourself, your suppliers, your staff, your friends and family and for the betterment of the service or product offering that you can partake in.
