COURSE: The LEKGOTLA Facilitation, Learning & Development MethodologySam Tsima
THE LEKGOTLA WAY METHODOLOGY! We are offering the opportunity for the participants to dialogue and converse with each other at the mini-LEKGOTLAs over breakfast, lunch or dinner sessions, even virtually, depending on the format of the sessions (i.e. face to face or virtual) in small groups. The facilitators introduce the topic, a few insights, and global trends. Each mini-LEKGOTLA appoints its Chairperson who oversees the proceedings., the scribe who captures the deliberations, and the rapporteur who shortly reports back to the main-LEKGOTLA (i.e. the plenary). The facilitators then open the floor for Q & A and general discussions. The African brainstorming concept is the LEKGOTLA concept. The participants demonstrate the highest level of respect for fellow participants of the dialogue and conversation circle. The participant who is on the floor is given full space to raise the issues and is fully listened to by the other participants of the LEKGOTLA. The participants are free to agree to disagree. This is the best African negotiation and conflict resolution mechanism. At the end of the main-LEKGOTLA the Chairperson of the main LEKGOTLA summarises the inputs and facilitates the process to arrive at the resolutions of the session. The main-LEKGOTLA formulates what it views as the resolutions for the participants to consider for further discussions and practical implementation in their own lives, organizations, communities, and enterprises.

Cometsa Privacy and Digital Communication PolicySam Tsima
This policy governs how we engage with our internal and external stakeholders on digital and non-digital communication platforms including social media pages, groups, timelines, and broader publications.
The LEKGOTLA Way Learning & Development MethodologySam Tsima
The Origin, Rules, and Modern Relevance: The word Lekgotla is an African word used to describe a meeting of a traditional court, a council meeting or a public meeting. The meeting is chaired by the King, Chief or Headsman and decisions are arrived at by consensus of all present. The set-up would be at the King's Palace, under a tree, in the kraal or in an area set up specifically for the Lekgotla. The Nkosi or Chair holds the King's traditional stick (induku yenkosi) and once in his hand, he is officially on the floor and cannot be interrupted. He introduces the topic to be discussed, and the agenda items. He opens up the "floor" for discussion. Any member of the Lekgotla who wishes to speak must stand up and approach the Nkosi or Chair to reach for "induku yenkosi", return to his seat and then make his input.
The King's role is also to make sure that LEKGOTLA is focused. It is seldom that the LEKGOTLA will tackle more than one agenda item. If there are other matters that are urgent and important, they will be relegated to a separate LEKGOTLA. If these extra topics are falling under the same theme that informs the LEKGOTLA, they will be tackled at the end when the current matters have been fully addressed.
The application of LEKGOTLA in our modern setting requires that all cellular phones be put off or on silence during the meetings. Any expected and urgent call during the meeting should be brought to the attention of iNkosi/Chair. All ipads, tablets and PC's must be off, unless they form part of the agenda and contain documentation pertaining to the meeting. No reading of emails is permitted during the Lekgotla. In order to enable free flow of dialogue during brainstorming and downtime when lighter moments are being shared, the Chair/Nkosi will place "induku yenkosi" down either by his side or at the centre of the table if in a board room format. Members of the team will, however, still respect and allow the person on the "floor" to speak before making a new point.
Coaching is a structured facilitated learning intervention. The coach and the client establish the reason for which they are embarking on a coaching programme together. No coaching should be entered into without the reason being commonly understood. Some clients are referred to coaching by their sponsors, mostly their managers, or parents. However, the coaching programme is always about the client (coachee). It is the client that must formulate the coaching theme, goals, and objectives, assisted by the coach. The coach's main role is to facilitate the formulation process and support the coaching agenda. The coaching agenda belongs to the client.
The much deeper reason for entering into coaching is referred to as the rationale for coaching. This answers the question: what are those issues if we do not embark on coaching would become hindrances to individual and/or organizational development and growth? It is a bigger purpose for coaching intervention.

Profile - COMETSA Sports Development Agency NPCSam Tsima
Sports, football specifically, is the foundation of the COMETSA Group. The organization was started as a development football club in Parktown/Hillbrow, Johannesburg, on the 1st August 1997. It has since developed into a management consulting group, and transferred its sports development activities to COMETSA Sports Development Agency NPC. Other development agencies have also been registered. As we celebrate our 20th Anniversary this year, 2017, most of the agencies will kickoff their development projects, marking the new beginning for COMETSA Group.
COMETSA Development Agencies are the Socio-Economic Development Arms of COMETSA Group. They are, however, independent and have their own Boards of Directors. The administration is performed on a fee basis by COMETSA Shared Services.
Each Agency produces its own set of reports. These reports are not consolidated into COMETSA Group, since the agencies are separately registered (NPCs). The agencies implement and/or support their own projects in the communities, and sometimes collaborate with each other.
Most of the projects are funded by independent individual and/or organization donors who identify COMETSA as a preferred implementing partner. The agencies also identify and implement community development projects on behalf of the Corporate Social Investment units of COMETSA clients.

FEBRUARY 2017 INVITATION: Internal & External Mentors Network (IEMN)Sam Tsima
COMETSA PMS Internal & External Mentors Network (IEM): The Internal & External Mentors Network is a platform for the human capital development practitioners who are charged with the responsibility of developing talent through mentoring. The extent to which Mentorship Programme in companies is formalized varies from one company to another. Irrespective of that, there is either an internal or external mentorship approach. The talent development circumstances of a company influence the approach that each company follows. Some companies have a combination of both internal and external mentorship programme. External Mentorship is mostly appropriate for the executives and senior managers. An Internal Mentorship programme would be more appropriate for the large portion of the staff. For any internal Mentorship programme to be successful, the company must develop a standard programme, and develop internal mentors to participate in the programme.
COMETSA Spirit - HAPINJALO: The 20th Anniversary ThemeSam Tsima
COMETSA was established on the 1st August 2017 in Hillbrow/Park Town, Johannesburg, Gauteng Province, South Africa, initially as a development football club. Today it is a fully fledged human capital and management consulting group serving diverse sectors. This year 2017 COMETSA is celebrating its 20th Anniversary, culminating in a function on the evening of Saturday the 5th August 2017 in Gauteng Province, South Africa. Over the years we were propelled by the crazy energetic drive called COMETSA Spirit which none of us could define. We embarked on an in-house research to identify the characteristics of this energetic drive, and came to conclusion that it is a combination of many elements of positive nature. These elements are Harmony, Acceptance, Peace, Inclusion, Nurturing, Joy, Appreciation, Love, and Obedience (Followership). We simplify these characteristics in an acronym, HAPINJALO (Happiness at all Times). This is the official of COMETSA Spirit formulation from now onward, and will guide us (and many future COMETSA generations) in our behaviours in relating to each other, our stakeholders, members, friends, clients, associates, and the general public. This is also our THEME for COMETSA 20th Anniversary Celebrations 2017.
We will ensure that there is equal contribution without restrictions
The facilitators, coordinators and attendants of the Diversity Management & Inclusion Programme will together enable clarity throughout the implementation
The issues and conversations from the Diversity Management & Inclusion Programme workshops and other sessions must not be personalized
Initial objective is to internalize and understand the context of Diversity Management & Inclusion Programme

LEKGOTLA METHODOLOGY: The African Methodology for creating environment favorable to active thinking, dialogue, engagement, learning, development and resolving of conflicts.
KNOWLEDGE CREATION – The society that is not creating new knowledge dies fast. The LEKGOTLA Methodology is the perfect way of creating new knowledge. The hosts, facilitators, co-facilitators, guest speakers, and participants collectively create the knowledge in the monthly LEKGOTLA. Each of these role players bring with them new perspectives that informs the LEKGOTLA.
MONTHLY DIALOGUES The Lekgotla Way, OUR HERITAGE: We have marked the COMETSA 20th Anniversary Celebrations in 2017 with the launch of the monthly COMETSA PMS LEKGOTLA NETWORKS. These take a form of presentations, dialogues, and conversations format facilitated by COMETSA Methodologists, Experts, Guest Speakers, Associates and Partners. In this fast changing world, it is impossible to remain at the required level of knowledge, expertise and information without formal and forums as part of continuous professional development.
COMETSA PMS The LEKGOTLA Way Learning & Development Methodology (18 03 2017)Sam Tsima
There can be many Lekgotla Methodologies. There is, however, only one COMETSA PMS The LEKGOTLA Way Learning & Development Methodology, as presented in this Slideshare.
MONTHLY DIALOGUES The Lekgotla Way, OUR HERITAGE: We have marked the COMETSA 20th Anniversary Celebrations in 2017 with the launch of the monthly COMETSA PMS LEKGOTLA NETWORKS. These take a form of presentations, dialogues, conversations, and questions & answers format facilitated by COMETSA Methodologists, Experts, Associates and Partners. In this fast changing world, it is impossible to remain at the required level of knowledge, expertise and information without formal and forums as part of continuous professional development. As a human capital development and management consulting company we see a need to coordinate and host such networks. Initially these Networks are hosted in Gauteng Province. In the near future we will make these Networks available across the country, in each Province.
By hosting standing monthly LEKGOTLA we ensure that the knowledge created and acquired is consolidated. The participants are also inducted into life-long learning culture. It is for this reason that the participants only receive the COMETSA PMS LEKGOTLA NETWORKS Certificate of Competence & Acceptance after attending six or more LEKGOTLA sessions per year. The participants are also introduced to the Ubuntu Practice of Sharing and Collective Learning. The LEKGOTLA is a Methodology that creates the environment that is conducive for the consolidation of the knowledge and information to take place.

Profile - COMETSA Sports Development Agency NPCSam Tsima
Sports, football specifically, is the foundation of the COMETSA Group. The organization was started as a development football club in Parktown/Hillbrow, Johannesburg, on the 1st August 1997. It has since developed into a management consulting group, and transferred its sports development activities to COMETSA Sports Development Agency NPC. Other development agencies have also been registered. As we celebrate our 20th Anniversary this year, 2017, most of the agencies will kickoff their development projects, marking the new beginning for COMETSA Group.
COMETSA Development Agencies are the Socio-Economic Development Arms of COMETSA Group. They are, however, independent and have their own Boards of Directors. The administration is performed on a fee basis by COMETSA Shared Services.
Each Agency produces its own set of reports. These reports are not consolidated into COMETSA Group, since the agencies are separately registered (NPCs). The agencies implement and/or support their own projects in the communities, and sometimes collaborate with each other.
Most of the projects are funded by independent individual and/or organization donors who identify COMETSA as a preferred implementing partner. The agencies also identify and implement community development projects on behalf of the Corporate Social Investment units of COMETSA clients.

FEBRUARY 2017 INVITATION: Internal & External Mentors Network (IEMN)Sam Tsima
COMETSA PMS Internal & External Mentors Network (IEM): The Internal & External Mentors Network is a platform for the human capital development practitioners who are charged with the responsibility of developing talent through mentoring. The extent to which Mentorship Programme in companies is formalized varies from one company to another. Irrespective of that, there is either an internal or external mentorship approach. The talent development circumstances of a company influence the approach that each company follows. Some companies have a combination of both internal and external mentorship programme. External Mentorship is mostly appropriate for the executives and senior managers. An Internal Mentorship programme would be more appropriate for the large portion of the staff. For any internal Mentorship programme to be successful, the company must develop a standard programme, and develop internal mentors to participate in the programme.
COMETSA Spirit - HAPINJALO: The 20th Anniversary ThemeSam Tsima
COMETSA was established on the 1st August 2017 in Hillbrow/Park Town, Johannesburg, Gauteng Province, South Africa, initially as a development football club. Today it is a fully fledged human capital and management consulting group serving diverse sectors. This year 2017 COMETSA is celebrating its 20th Anniversary, culminating in a function on the evening of Saturday the 5th August 2017 in Gauteng Province, South Africa. Over the years we were propelled by the crazy energetic drive called COMETSA Spirit which none of us could define. We embarked on an in-house research to identify the characteristics of this energetic drive, and came to conclusion that it is a combination of many elements of positive nature. These elements are Harmony, Acceptance, Peace, Inclusion, Nurturing, Joy, Appreciation, Love, and Obedience (Followership). We simplify these characteristics in an acronym, HAPINJALO (Happiness at all Times). This is the official of COMETSA Spirit formulation from now onward, and will guide us (and many future COMETSA generations) in our behaviours in relating to each other, our stakeholders, members, friends, clients, associates, and the general public. This is also our THEME for COMETSA 20th Anniversary Celebrations 2017.
We will ensure that there is equal contribution without restrictions
The facilitators, coordinators and attendants of the Diversity Management & Inclusion Programme will together enable clarity throughout the implementation
The issues and conversations from the Diversity Management & Inclusion Programme workshops and other sessions must not be personalized
Initial objective is to internalize and understand the context of Diversity Management & Inclusion Programme
