The South Africa-Canada Business Bridge is the Johannesburg leg of My Most Trusted, hosted by Natalie Clack. A warm introduction is the only way to meet someone here. No bots, no spam, no cold outreach.
!ke e: ǀxarra ǁke. South Africa's national motto, in the ǀXam language of the San. It means diverse people unite.
South Africa chose !ke e: ǀxarra ǁke for its coat of arms in 2000: diverse people unite, written in the language of some of the country's first people. Canada has built itself on much the same idea, and a great many South Africans now live and work there. A bridge between the two is less about distance than about finding the right person among a lot of good ones, and letting someone who knows you both make the match.
Every club has an idea like this one, and it belongs to the place rather than to us. It is not a slogan we handed out.
Natalie Clack holds the South African end of the Bridge, from Johannesburg. In her own words she is an international motivational speaker, a holistic energy alchemist and a virtual freelance business consultant, working through Corby & Page Enterprises. Her consulting is done largely online, which suits a bridge whose other end is nine time zones away. She meets people face to face in Johannesburg and online anywhere.
Natalie Clack is a real person in Johannesburg, not a logo. That is the point. Somebody has to know both people for an introduction to be worth anything.
