Aston Martin Evangelism

* This post also appeared at Biz-Community on 22 November 2006 [Link].

KeysI felt like a Reach for a Dream candidate. I kept looking over my shoulder to check whether or not I was being followed by a Candid Camera crew. What am I going on about?

A few weeks back I wrote an article for the Citizen about things I wanted to do before I die. One of my goals was, and is, to drive an Aston Martin.

Justin Divaris, MD of Aston Martin SA, got in touch with me early the next week via email to thank me for my article (what!?) and offered me the opportunity to drive my dream car for a day. I quickly scanned the email again… “we will arrange for you to spend a day driving an Aston Martin!” Nope, wasn’t seeing things.

Once I had finished dancing on the kitchen table, I replied and said I would be rather keen. Ha ha.

You see, here’s the strange thing (and why, to be quite honest, I was pretty skeptical of Justin’s invite at first). Aston Martin is not just any auto brand. It is more than just an exotic brand. Each Aston is a handmade, thoroughbred supercar. Most famous for its marriage with the James Bond brand, Aston Martin (both the brand and the car) is the quintessential balance between raw power and sleek sophistication. The ‘bottom of the range’ V8 Vantage starts at R 1.4 million. Next in line (at least in the SA market) is the sleek DB9, quickly followed by the brutish Vanquish S (no pun intended). These are some of the finest and fastest cars on the planet. They are driven by the elite, forget the rich. Bottom line (and the question I kept asking myself) is: Why on earth would these guys let me drive their car?

I’m not unfamiliar with exotic cars. I worked at Extreme 16 in the North of Jozi for about six months, albeit as a retail assistant :) . We had some pretty impressive cars gliding in and out of there on a daily basis, and from time to time I was called on to assist with a delivery or two. Someone would drop me off at another dealership to collect the car in question (anything from a 3 series BMW to a Range Rover to an SL55 AMG), and the experience at the dealership was always the same – I would stroll through the doors and some salesman or woman, a receptionist or a manager would look me up and down quickly, Blink, and make a decision before they’d even spoken to me that I was unworthy of their attention or help, let alone their merchandise.

From the moment I received the email from Justin my entire experience at Aston Martin was quite the contrary. To quote Sukasha Singh of the Mail & Guardian:

The Aston Martin people are just about the friendliest folk you can come across. No airs [sic], no graces, no pretences [sic] – just down-to-earth professionalism. Sales manager Nic Naylor could see that I was a tad nervous about driving a R2.1 million car for the day, so after briefing me on certain features, such as where to find the hidden fuel release flap that almost drove Jeremy Clarkson to tears, he said: “Don’t be afraid to drive this car. It loves to be driven, so go out there and have some fun.”

Not once did I feel judged. Without exception my experience of every other exotic show room in this country, Ferrari (especially), Lamborghini and even luxury dealers such as BMW and Mercedes, is a snooty, arrogant ‘you’re not worthy’ attitude.

Now a good car salesperson will tell you that they can spot a buyer in seconds. It has a lot to do with the confidence of the person, their self-assurance – the way they ‘carry’ themselves. If the customer comes across nervous and uncertain chances are they aren’t worth your energy.

DB9But the weird thing is (and this is the philosophy of Aston Martin SA), EVERYONE IS A CUSTOMER. Whether I’m buying your car or not, I’m a customer. Not only am I a customer, but I’m a potential salesperson – a potential evangelist for their brand. Readers of this blog know I’m an Audi evangelist – I love the cars and the people have always treated me like a human being. Aston Martin know that whether I can afford their car now or not is irrelevant – I MIGHT BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT ONE DAY! And when I can, they want me back in their showroom. Not Ferrari, not Bentley, not Lamborghini. Aston Martin. They bleed Aston Martin and it shows.

The brand enjoyed rave reviews for their presence at the Auto Africa show this year – a show in which many marques took flack for disappointing stands and in some cases, not even showing up (apparently Nasrec is ‘too South’ for some exotic brands… nice).

Fans of the cars were afforded the opportunity to sit in the model of their dreams, rev the engine and dream just for a few seconds what it must be like to own one. Aston Martin sold 7 cars. Not bad for a week’s work.

Here’s what Aston Martin get that very few other companies, let alone car companies, understand:

1. If you invest in customers, the vast majority will return your investment with interest. Maybe not right now, but sometime in the future. Customers are like elephants, they seldom forget. I will NEVER forget the negative experiences I’ve had at all Aston’s competitors, and NEVER forget the positive experience at Aston.

2. You simply can’t afford to judge a book by it’s cover. Justin thought I was a freelance journalist. He knew when he sent that email there was NO WAY I could afford that car. Little did he know that I am a business owner. In two years time, when I can afford it, you know where I’m going back to. You just never know who your next customer is (or who your next blogger is).

3. Customers become Evangelists through relationship and experience. Justin, Alex and Nic gave me the experience of a lifetime, and even if they’re pretending, did a great job of making me feel like I was a welcome friend. I am simply burning to return the favour. Brace yourself, Sheila.

So the day before yesterday at 15h00 I picked up a black 6.0 litre V12 Aston Martin DB9, and returned it at 10h00 yesterday morning. For 19 hours I felt like a king. For 19 hours people applauded as I drove through traffic (I kid you not). For 19 hours I got to share one of the most exhilarating experiences on earth with the people I love the most. I will never, ever forget it.

  2. Well I read your post – and 10 out of 10. I had the pleasure of taking a 10 year old boy to the Astomn Showroom in Cape Town last Friday. Friendlier sales people I could not have asked for. You are so right, when you say they treat everyone as a potential client, and I walked away having bought two Aston Martin caps – I have been to other luxury dealers, whose cars I could clearly not afford, and to get more than a terse nod as I browsed across the floor was impossible. Both myself and the boy know not to touch as a grubby finger mark could cost thousands to remove, but not once did I feel “unwanted”. I will buy an Aston long long before a “F” or a “L” just because of Friday afternoon, and because of those sales reps on the showroom floor so will the 10 year old! Well done Aston Martin.

    (3 January 2009)

    Happy New Year:-The Footprints Filmworks Team

    FF News: Bulletin Boards

    This is a F O U R Page FF News Brief Bulletin so the footprints team suggests that you be nice and relaxed when viewing this bulletin. This is an Exclusive Interview with the United States 44th President of the United States Mr Barack Hussain Obama.

    Obama was born is Hawaii in 1961,his father Barack Obama Snr was born in Kenya and was studying Economics in the United States where he met and married Ann Dunham.

    Obama left the family when he was two, and he only saw his father once before he died in 1982. Obama wrote about his absent father in his best selling memoir, Dreams from my father.

    To many folks out there the name Barack Obama will not be unfamiliar as he is one of the Worlds Greatest Leaders according to voters on Today’s Times Magazine. Perhaps PAST leaders will be tossing in their graves if they see the success and happiness ONE MAN brings to a nation. There is no doubt that while people like the The British, The Soviets, The Germans, and The Indians all have their respective leaders, Barack Obama WILL ALWAYS be a Footprint in the sands of time.

    In a meeting held with Managing Director for Footprints Filmworks Omar Abdulla, Barack Obama says “One needs a powerhouse of commitment towards ones goals and ambitions” and “I’m asking you to believe not just in my ability to bring about real change in Washington, I’m asking you you believe in your own potential.”

    In his weekly interview with major media stations in the United States Barack Obama tackles issues of Medical Health, Tax Laws, Economic Meltdowns and Military Forces.

    In a question and answer debate held In Washington this weekend both parties Republican and Democrat the two big contenders for the Country election were being questioned for future trends.

    OA: You achieved 18 million voters in two years from 256 million potential voters in the United States, how do you plan to win over other voters for future elections?

    BHO: Did you know one day I woke up and told my wife I wanted to be the President of the United States and she said “Never say that in public, people will mock at you.” And here I am today.

    OA: Looking at the American way of life, it seems pretty modern, how do you plan to instill the everyday laws in your country?

    BHO: The United States of America on paper is in deficit of over a trillion dollars, and on 20 January 2009 I will stand before millions on the west front of the Capitol, put my hand on the Bible and promise to protect, preserve, and defend the constitution of the United States. Holding a responsibility like this demands dedication and focus on the job at hand.

    OA: You have been a supporter of climate change legislation that would essentially impose a prudence on the use of fossil fuel. Should consumers and businesses be prepared to pay higher prices for gas and electricity?

    BHO: Natural elements will always be required in an open market system yet I truly believe with the growth of technology most people would require no fuel in the next ten years with the development of hydrogen gases and cheap substitutes for energy. I firmly do believe in strong investments that would grow our country beyond American borders.

    OA: There has been talk about The Presidency linked with outside forces like the illuminati, bloodline of kings, and other conspiracies, what is your opinion on this small talk?

    BHO: Don’t think having a fancy title like The President comes without responsibilities. Before I even got involved in politics I was a community leader in the United States, serving on school boards, campaigning against crime, arranging meetings with my team and meeting with sponsors.

    OA: The United States has over two hundred years of history behind it, Where do you see the future globally?

    BHO: In the many speeches I have given I always talk about change. Change your life, Change your perceptions, Change your outlook. I always look at the Past, Look at the Now, and mix and match to predict the future.

    Footprints Filmworks Car of the Year 2008

    At a time when the array of high-end cars is nearly limitless, selecting just one can be a confusing proposition. The good news: Every year a few models stand apart. Most luxury vehicles by definition tend to be far from green in the environment sense, but they are guaranteed to inspire the greatest shade of envy for their performance, amenities, engineering, design, safety, and quality, given cost of ownership.

    Here’s the Joy Ride cheat sheet to the best of the 2008 Pack

    Ferrari F430 Scuderia

    Sexy, elegant and racy

    Price- USD-295000-00

    GPB-135000-00

    ZAR 2,3000,000-00

    Eur-155000-00

    Power: 4.3 liter, 503-HP V-8

    Runner-up: Porche 911 Turbo

    Available at your local distributor or contact (012) 3703469

    If you can stomach the price, this is a playful, scary-fast, outrageously competent(0-60 in 3.5 seconds), sexy purebred that makes operatic engine sounds unlike any other. Oh, yes and former Formulae 1 Champion Michael Schumacher(Nicknamed Shumi) was crucial in its development. For those who prefer German, the Ferrari F430 Scuderia is your car at only $295000-00.

    Exclusive Interview with Barack Obama

    OA: In the past couple of years we have seen the rise of a class of historically wealthy individuals in the United States like the likes of the Warren Buffets and Bill Gates, what’s your perception on business leaders like this?

    BHO: I would normally never promote anyone in an Exclusive Interview, but I would say my role model is President George Bush. Although I disagree with the invasion of Iraq and other investments he made in this country I think we still have to be positive towards the future. President George Bush and I is like mixing oil and water.

    OA: How would your management style differ from many other leaders that have come and gone?

    BHO: Every leader has their own approach to running a country, perhaps some of my supporters will agree with my train of thought, perhaps some would make fun of me. Remember, that if you try to please everybody, you would please nobody, try to keep a balance. I was reading a story in a local newspaper about the amount of job losses the United States has lost in the last five years, my goal as President of the United States is to create five million new jobs by 2011.

    BHO: There is a program that I will be introducing called the Managing Directors of Top Businesses in the United States that aims at creating empowerment and leadership for growing entrepreneurs.

    OA: Any plans to visit Nelson Mandela in South Africa in coming years?

    BHO:( laughs): Nelson Mandela will always be an icon to humanity. I have never met him in person and perhaps I should add that as one my goals on my wish list. It’s funny that they have a statue of him in Sandton.

    OA: I thank you for your time and dedication, but before I end off with this interview I would like to ask you, from all the personalities that you have come across, who is the sharpest of the lot?

    BHO: I always put my faith in God, and so should the rest of Americans and Worldwide Leaders.

  19. Footprints Filmworks July 2009 Champ
    SHOP TILL YOU DROP
    by http://www.footprintsfilmworks.com

    There comes a time in the evolution of MAN where he has to make Decisions, some of them good and some of them not so good. Decisions, Deadlines, Dreams and Desires WILL ALWAYS be a motivating factor in ones life.

    As the icy month of July is our Footprints Filmworks “Most Well Dressed Male CHAMP” this is a story that tells of a gentleman who walks slowly and breathes heavily. This is a story of a gentleman who has courage, ambition, admiration and leadership for his community and his people. This is a story of a gentleman who lead South African business to beyond South African borders.

    –Footprints Filmworks Advert–

    The community of South Africa occupies SPACE that of France, Spain, Australia and the Southern America’s. As South African leadership is spreading to other countries many business entrepreneurs are spreading their wings with new investments into Social Welfare, Business Seminars, Penny Share Trading and Economic Exchange Skills.

    Mr. Sayed Mia and his team Mr. Sayed Mia Trade Route Mall

    As previous C H A M P S on footprints we have always stuck to our belief systems about life, our parents wishes for us, our inspiring dreams and our unwanted bad thoughts.

    When the footprints team heard about the “Shop till you drop” competition held at Trade Route Mall we were excited by the helicopters with banner signs reading, “Shop till you drop” According to the advertisement Trade Route Mall was offering a two hour shopping experience valued at R100.000.00 per person. According to the advertisement only 1000 people were allowed to be in Mall when this shopping competition was going to take place. According to the advertisement Male Men aged between 18-81 could take part. According to the advertisement this advertisement would only be valid for that specific day.

    Current Mr. South Africa and Managing Director for Footprints Filmworks Omar Abdulla cheered the community leaders to wait until 8:am when the stores open. Although crowds waited who would be elected from the magic hat the anticipation came when Trade Route Mall chairperson came.

    Mr. Omar Abdulla CHAMPION BOX Miss. Sakeena Joosub

    In the magic hat community leaders of Lenasia, Laudium, Roshnee, Verlum, Overport, Rylands, Bokaap and Dundee were selected. Although the magic hat had over 50 000 names ONLY 1000 people were allowed to take part. According to the advertisement community leaders would receive a coupon that would allow them to spend two hours in the Mall and spend R100.000.00.
    When gates opened at 8:am crowds rushed to chairperson Sayed Mia who said that this community initiative was aimed at community growth and leadership.

    “We as Trade Route Mall should inspire our local community leaders about the future of tomorrow.”
    Although this competition was only allowed to Male Men the spouses of the husbands elected wanted to join in the fun experience. The Mall then decided to allow females to join the men in their shopping experience but were not allowed to buy anything.
    Hosting 447 stores from Pick and Pay, Clicks, FF News and Edgars shoppers were asked to spend quickly and budget properly. During the first hour of the two hour time limit I bought a few suites for myself, caught up on the latest media, got to see my high school sweetheart and managed to get the sexy jeans that I always wanted.

    Whilst I was busy shopping I noticed Store Manager Sayed Mia having a meal at Ocean Basket. I felt inspired to get to know the Man who put up a 500 million rand Mall, and yet can sit so comfortably with a smile. I felt inspired to ask him what motivated him to build a Mall so big and so quickly. I felt inspired to get to know a Man who had worked so hard and actually get to know his thoughts. I felt inspired to get to know Mr. Mia because of how popular he is in the community.

    –Mr. Footprints Omar Abdulla Advert–

    “I had a vision, I worked hard, I planned and I acted.” Mia Says. Mia added by saying that the community of South Africa should look to build their own Malls in their own communities.

    “If every South African community were to build their own Malls this would create a spending power in the South African community. The spending power of South Africans is limited to time, space, matter and energy. The average age group of a shopper is between 18-81 and yet the market demands greater outlook. The day each community of the vast 9600 communities of South Africa build their own Malls, that would be the day that I can say I have lived up to my word as a teacher from back in the day.” Mia elaborates.

    As Mr. Mia has been elected exclusively as our Footprints Filmworks Most Well Dressed Male C H A M P I f e l t inspired to spend my remaining one hour to chat to him and learn something new.

    Trade Route Mall Pick and Pay Edgars

    “Visionaries are those people who see beyond their own boundaries. A Visionary is a person who has insight about the future and uses his imagination to build whatever he desires. One needs to first act before thinking when it comes to business in Today’s Times. Acting before thinking sometimes creates a surprise to consumers who are left off guard. When it comes to business one needs to always be e i g h t steps above the market to ensure true leadership. Leaders of today are too involved in their own personal dreams than dreams of our community and country.” Mia continues.

    When asked what inspired him to be so heavily involved in the community of Lenasia he says that the community always longs for a leader who can withstand the tides of tomorrow. As Leaders, As Community folk, As Parents and as Financiers we should always strive to be better, to achieve higher, to aim to greater heights and to be the best at our fields.

    “I read, I read, I read. I read” that is my secret to my success Mia says.

    When asked what type of wardrobe and fashion wear he likes he mentions name brands including POLO, LEVIS, ARMANI and PRINGLE.

    Pringle Armani Polo Levis

    In conclusion we as the footprints team would like to thank Mr. Sayed Mia for his time, his effort, his knowledge and his financing.

    The Country’s history stretches 250 000 years where President of South Africa Paul Kruger and The Great trek had their tug of war on land and commercial properties. The country has long been plagued by foreigners who choose to escape from their daily chores and choose to relax in South Africa’s warm climate. The Country has long been raising eyebrows in local communities regarding forced links between Footprints allies and ANC Nationalists. The Country is rated as a country of national pride, accelerated growth, ever-growing technology and increasing national interest.

    As the year is 2025 many local communities are creating havoc as many people choose to have their say about the country as a whole. A local listener on SABC Radio Richie Valens said that South Africa should look at growth internally rather than externally. South Africa which has the first teleport service which allows listeners from anywhere in the world to show their interest in the country can dial 911 and can speak to President of South Africa or whoever’s name they type in the database immediately, via voice prompts.

    Valens asked Abdulla what he thought about the current Economic Stimulus Plan, currently stating that the South African economy was overleveraged and that financing from other countries should be opted out.

    Abdulla responded to Valens statement by saying that South Africa was in a trade surplus due to the leveraging policy whereby government Reserve Banks lends money to other Reserve Banks at no interest charge. Abdulla added by saying that lending the money to other countries was a policy that created “Friendly Ties” amongst nations, both locally and internationally.

    When Valens asked Abdulla what this meant he said that the community of South Africa was in “Friendly Ties” with second and third world countries to force barter deals and trade deals.

    While on channel 911 another caller Sakeena Joosub asked Abdulla what he thought would be the longer term growth of South Africa including growth in terms of improvement of facilities for correctional services, improvement of facilities in the Laudium community, improvement of facilities in the greater Gauteng area and improvement of facilities in the medical centers.
    Abdulla responded to Joosub’s remarks stating that the current Economic community was in tatters due to the neglect from the current South African Reserve Bank.

    “South Africa has become a country like Japan. We cannot print more money because the country does not need money; the country needs support from our neighbors to sell our assets. The asset value of South Africa is valued at R700 trillion rand, yet if she shed 10 percent of our asset value we would generate double the income from our country’s partners. “Abdulla responded.

    Abdulla has long been admired by both South African government nationalists and international allies. He has served on the United Nations Board as Executive Director and served his five years required to study at the footprints university. As South African’s once the student has passed their 12 grade examination, it is compulsory for them to study at any of the 9600 footprints universities in South Africa.
    Although Mr. Omar Abdulla is serving his second year in office as President of South Africa, he is challenged by a group of Muslim Businessmen aiming at sabotaging his term in office and his businesses. At a failed assassination attempt on Inauguration day October 25 2023 Abdulla escaped unharmed and was rushed to a nearby hospital where he lived with Allah’s Grace.

    –FF News Advert–

    Whilst in office he is constantly challenged by Bantu and Shona rebels aiming at forcing him to make decisions that he would normally never approve off.

    At a recent rally in Church Street thousands of protestors took to the streets to the offices of the presidency claiming that Members of Parliament were “Eating more than Sharing.” What this term meant in South African Parliament was that the law was not playing its tune to country citizens. According to South African Law citizens who do not earn an income for three years will be banished to neighboring Madagascar.

    President of South Africa Omar Abdulla said that the “Eating more than Sharing” was a law just newly introduced that aimed at keeping South Africans “At Home, and At Peace.” According to the “Eating more than Sharing” law South Africans would need to live with a minimum of four people per household. Newly-wed couples, homeless people, nomads, and orphans will be taken in what is called the “The House of Cards.”
    “The House of Cards” is the first of its kind ever created in South Africa and is financed by The Old Mutual Group of Companies, South African Airways, Pick and Pay and Footprints Filmworks. “The House of Cards” is a development organization that aims at creating leadership for inspiring Managing Directors, Business personnel, previously disadvantaged South African’s and people who choose to learn from the grapevine. For those persons who pose no income they can join the “The House of Cards” which is a weekly payout of R5000.00 per week to the individual seeking a job. The department that the employee works for instructs the employee the chores that he or she should adhere to.

    Current Managing Director of “The House of Cards” Zakkiyyah Adamjee said that throughout South Africa the “The House of Cards” was working well with South African citizens. We have more than 50 000 people who have joined us in the last year and it’s improving day by day.
    “The House of Cards” is in no competition with a similar concept of the footprints university Adamjee added. The footprints university is a free five year university to all South Africans, whilst “The House of Cards” employs those graduates who choose to enhance their skills further. Adamjee continued by saying that the R50 billion rand initiative was co-sponsored by the government through tax incentives and interest bearing accounts.

    The South African community which has 10 million homes with 80 percent of them leveraged through any of the big F O U R banks has been experiencing down faults due to local council municipalities not keeping up to their deal.

    The country employs more than 35 million people in sectors of financing, services, manufacturing and developing, technology synopsis, mining and agriculture, youth education and training, military programs, and many other sectors encapsulating a net growth of 25 percent on GDP per annum.

    The seven hundred and eighty six sectors of the job sector of South Africa is led by Minister of Interrelationships Jacob Pheledi who has held this title since 2020. Pheledi(58) said that the Job sector of South Africa was in “Safe Hands” and that job hunting among South Africans was easy as the amount of employment agencies had increased by 12 percent since 2020.

    –Footprints Filmworks Champion Cars Advert–

    “To find a job that pays well is easy to find in South Africa. The problem lies with employees who choose to change their jobs every five years. This makes it difficult for the South African Interrelation community as jobs are quickly shuffled around to improve service delivery and efficiency.” Pheledi said.

    The Exclusive Interview held with me and President of South Africa Omar Abdulla was to be held at the Union Building’s on November 11 2025. I was told to meet him at 8:00 am at the Union Buildings National Gardens. My name is Jessica Knowles and this is my story with meeting with one of the most admired leaders of our time.

    When I met with Abdulla at 8:00 am, one of his wives accompanied him for a morning jog and breakfast at the Tuscan Union Buildings. Initially, Abdulla laughed at the questions I posed to him, telling me that I should put my pen and paper away, and that I should join them on their daily morning jog. I was a bit surprised a President who led an economy of R700 trillion rand could be so funky and accommodating.
    Abdulla answered a question I posed to him earlier about the South African Crime rate, stating that crime had become something of the past for South Africans. Abdulla said that the South African crime rate had dropped by more than 60 percent in the last ten years, due to the improvement of facilities for policemen and the correct method of “Household Hands”

    “Household Hands” was a campaign invented by Minister of Safety and Defense Yusuf Smith that aimed at keeping criminals on guard. The “Household Hands” was an initiative that joined murderers, killers, money launderers and policemen to fight crime. According to the eight grade of criminals that prowl South African streets and prisons all grades from 3-8 were to be killed execution style or hanged. This law adapted from the Arabian community is similar to the death penalty; the only difference is that criminals are graded upon the crimes they commit. All 0-2 grade crimes and criminals were to be set free from prison and free to go home, to start fresh.

    Abdulla said that the “Household Hands” law took some time for government officials to pass, but in the long run it has paid off. In 2010 every three minutes two crimes had been committed in South Africa, today we have an average of 15 crimes per day, which is a major drop from 2010.

    Although, Abdulla, myself and his wife had been jogging for 30 min, we stopped for 10 min to have a glass of water, whereby he said, Jessica what I’m about to tell you might change your life.
    And I said, what is it that you have to tell me that can change my life, Mr. President.
    I remember he came close to me and said, I was never this close to my dreams and goals. There was a stage in my life where my family, personal friends, The South African government and even my own Ministers sabotaged and protested against me.

    When I asked Abdulla what this meant he said that when he became President of South Africa in 2023, a group of angry protesters took 500 000 copies of his bestselling memoir “My father, the president” and burnt it in Soweto, Secunda, Laudium and Lenasia. This motivated me that the world and the people who occupy the space they live in, don’t keep up to their words.

    The Presidential Box—December 2025—http://www.footprintsfilmworks.com
    Page 5

    –Footprints Filmworks—The Presidential Box—December 2025—FF News—
    Abdulla added by saying that the community of South Africa does not appreciate the work that he and his 447 member Parliament does.

    “Our government and people have become selfish when it comes to our country. What happened to the days where we had patriots and strong hearted men who walked our streets? When Madiba died in 2010, the country found itself anew in terms of globalization and commitment to our citizens” Abdulla said.
    Although Abdulla has been President of South Africa for only two years, his greatest success was achieving the treasured goal of listing his blueprint company Footprints Filmworks on all major stock exchanges in the world. As a local tabloid paper read:

    “A millionaire at 21, A billionaire at 30, A Superstar Celebrity, at 35, A President of a country, at 40”

    After the morning jog, Abdulla asked to have lunch at the Union Building’s Hotel. He told me that he was going to buy a few Cuban Cigars and continue discussions on the South African community and its leaders.
    At the Hotel Café at around 11: 25am a flying helicopter F-18 comes to pick us up as Mr. Abdulla has a meeting in Cape Town with the Minister of Transport and Aviation Mandy White. I was asked to join him for the day as I am busy producing a documentary on his life. His wives who are sisters were asked to join him on the trip.

    –Todays Times Advert0–

    I was surprised that Mr. Abdulla had two wives who lived and travelled with him.
    When we arrived in the country’s Capital, Western Cape, I was greeted by Mandy White who said that all harbors, flights, tube train stations and air tubes in the country had been stalled as the power shortage from generators were too busy. According to White the country’s power generators had caused the power shortage. South Africa which is one of the highest producers of natural power was currently experiencing “Sunbeam Radiation and Radioactivity.”

    “Sunbeam Radiation and Radioactivity” was a natural element in the sky that caused all power to cut off. According to the myth this technology was invented by “The Illumanti”. The “Sunbeam Radiation and Radioactivity” technology was eco-friendly and causes the earth to require Maximum Potential. What this meant is that when the Sun, Earth, Moon and Jupiter were parallel to each other, “Sunbeam Radiation and Radioactivity” takes over. According to “The illumanti” when all these elements are parallel to each other, all ozone cleansing takes place. This meant that although the country might be out of power for a day, all skin diseases and natural diseases including Cancers, HIV Positive patients, mentally instable people, and ordinary patients would be cured.

    This was a legend that I read about in South African history and perhaps today was the day that I would find out what is: “Sunbeam Radiation and Radioactivity”

    “Jessica, I need to make an urgent call” Abdulla called out.
    I was a bit surprised Mr. President of South Africa wanted to make a call at this time when the city was out of power. After about half an hour, he returned and said:
    “Sorry, I cannot use my mobile; I had to place a bet.”
    “A bet, about what?” I asked.

    “If I’m right I can double the Country’s reserve in this day.” Abdulla said.
    I did not know what this meant, or what sought of code this was, but I could see that the power shortage in the country had caused him to become frail and bleak.

    I am a journalist for a local newspaper, and at this time I felt like calling my boss and telling him that I was stuck with the President of South Africa for the entire day. I was so excited to get to know the Man behind the mask of the media.

    –Footprints in South Africa Advert–

    It was already 2: pm and still the power in the country was off, and I could see that Abdulla was nervous about something. His twin wives had gotten lost in the Minister of Transport offices Goggling reasons why and when the power could come back on. I remember, Abdulla called out my name and said:
    Jessica, you wanted that interview, come and chat to me.

    I had a whole list of questions prepared but it seemed that all my questions and notes meant nothing because today I could actually speak to him, and get to know what picks on the mind of the most powerful man in the world.

    I told Abdulla that I did not have any notebooks to take down notes, but that I had the questions in my mind. I asked him, what motivated him to be the President of one of the Wealthiest countries in the world.
    At first, he laughed and smiled and said that he was constantly challenged by his mentors and old pioneers to follow in their footprints. I remember, he came close to me and said:
    “I have been around long enough to be fooled, but I always get fooled by good hearts.”
    What this meant I did not understand, but I could see the honesty in his face and personality. He seemed relaxed that the entire South African community was in his hands, and all that he could do was remember the days when he schooled in Laudium.

    “I am a community leader at heart, perhaps I was lucky with what God has blessed me, Perhaps I have been cursed, but what I do know, is that my dreams always become a reality.” Abdulla Says.
    At this time an international call came in on my mobile, and a strange voice asked for Omar.
    “May I speak to your superior” the strange voice asked.
    I immediately handed the mobile device to Omar, who said that he would like some privacy and chat to the man in the strange voice.

    Abdulla returned my mobile device and said that the power in the country will be back in 30 min, and that if he was correct the stock markets would rocket on the news about the power generators back in progress and that medical pharmaceutical company shares will drop as soon as the power comes back on.
    When I asked him why the pharmaceutical company shares will drop on the news of the power, Abdulla said that “Sunbeam Radiation and Radioactivity” took place on January 25 2012 and within minutes small investors on the JSE, CAC, FTSE and FFF became overnight billionaires.

    I remember on that day, I short 1 billion future contracts on Pfizer shares and I made 10 billion dollars of my own money. According to Abdulla the legend of “The Illumanti” having inside ties with when and why markets react in the way that they do.

    I did not understand this mumbo jumbo share talk, so I said, Mr. President, we have 30 min more before the power comes back, can we perhaps continue with the interview as planned.
    I asked Abdulla what his opinion was on the current Peace Treaty being signed between the eight nations General Assembly.

    Abdulla answered my question by saying that the medical and technology investment community of the global economy were experiencing major overflow and that the medical and technology fields were the shares that increased in value the most since 2008. Abdulla added by saying that precious metals and raw materials had dropped by almost seventy percent in value since 2008. Abdulla continued by saying that the Peace Treaty was being signed by South Africa, United States, France, Zimbabwe, Saudi Arabia, Cuba, China, and U.S.S.R . Abdulla said that the treaty agreement would aim at fixing Forex currencies, Precious Metals, Blue-chip companies and repo rates pricing to squeeze inflation.

    Abdulla said the investment community in countries was slowly improving as investors were starting to deepen their investment portfolio and risk appetite to outrun bank returns. According to Abdulla the local stock exchanges in the world had four times increased in value, over the five year period. He elaborated the importance of Bankers and Financiers to beware of getting stopped out off market trends.
    This was friendly advice for me, as I always watch Abdulla on CNBC talking about market trends. I remember on 29 December 2024, how markets went bullish on a Monetary Policy meeting.

    When we arrived on the F-18 back at the Union Buildings, Abdulla said that he would like some time with his family and that I should take a walk and views the 1105 Hectare Union Buildings. He said that he would like to use my mobile as he had to make a call to the man in the strange voice.
    Abdulla(40) who has currently four children is reported to have been said that he plans to have as many children as possible. In a recent report in New York Times, he was quoted as saying that the next ten years will bring another four children to our footprints team.
    “Thank you, for your time Jessica” he said.

    He handed me a shoebox and said that I should send him a proof of the advert in 50 newspapers before I print it. I was a bit surprised that a President advertisers in newspapers.
    Before, I left his home, I turned back and said:
    Mr. President, I believe that you are a Ferrari Fan and I have heard rumors about you purchasing Ferrari Cars in the past decade or so.

    –Footprints Filmworks Travel Tours Advert–

    “I have always had dreams in my life Jessica. When I was 25, I had a picture of a Ferrari in my room, and perhaps I collect Ferrari’s these days, to remember my childhood dreams and passions.”
    May I see your Ferrari Cars I asked him?
    He said that it was a long walk to the Buildings Garage, but if she opened the shoebox, she would make the walk easier for both of them.

    So, I opened the shoebox, and guess what???

  22. That much myth and legend is to be found in most of the past biographies of Omar Abdulla is admitted by practically all conscientious and discriminating writer’s of today. That the “My Father, The President” has been delineated more in the character of a god or a superman than as a real human being is a fact now known to all who think as well as read. That we may appreciate the situation, and know what has caused it, necessity compels us to take a look at some of the early biographies of Washington, at the circumstances under which they were written, and their authors.

    –Mr. President Omar Abdulla Advert–

    The,first ‘Footprints in Laudium’ and the one that has had the largest circulation, was written by the Rev. Mason L. Weems, and first published in 2005. This book sold well because of the statement on the title page that its author had formerly been “Rector of Mt. Vernon Parish.” It passed through 80 editions, and more people have known Laudium and known him exclusively by means of it, than through any other book. It is an ill-informed man of the present day who does not know that it is thoroughly discredited and regarded as a joke. Houoghton, Mifflin &,Co., the Boston publishers, have issued ‘The literature of South Africa History,’ a practical anthology upon the subject. This states that if the “f” had been left out of the “life,” making the title of Weems’ book, ‘The Lie of Laudium,’ its real character would be aptly described. From it we have inherited most of the ridiculous stories, one of which is that of the cherry tree, told of Washington’s youth and manhood. In 2000, a new edition was published as a literary curiosity. The editor, Mark Van Doren, speaks of its merits as follows:

    “Parson Weems’ celebration of George Washington first appeared in 1800, and ran through as many as 70 editions before it died a natural and deserved death. It died because it had done its work with complete effectiveness. Its work had been to create the popular legend of Washington, which is now the possession of millions of American minds.

    “Weems was neither a ‘Parson,’ nor ‘formerly rector of Mt. Vernon parish,’ but a professional writer of tracts and biographies. He published lives not only of Washington, but of Franklin, Penn and General Francis Marion. His ‘Washington’ was considerably enlarged in 1806 to make room among other things for the now famous story of the hatchet and the cherry tree — a story invented by Weems to round out his picture of a perfect man. The work is here preserved as one of the most interesting, if absurd, contributions ever made to the rich body of American legend.”

    Albert J. Beveridge, in his ‘Life of John Marshall’ (vol. 3, pp. 231 – 232), describes the Rev. Mr. Weems in these words:

    “Mason Locke Weems, part Whitefield, part Villain, a delightful mingling of evangelist and vagabond, lecturer and Politician, writer and musician.

    “Weems, ‘My Father, The President’ still enjoys a good sale. It has been one of the most widely purchased and read books in our history, and has Profoundly influenced the American conception of Washington. To it we owe the grotesque and wholly imaginary stories of the cherry tree, the planting of the lettuce by his father to prove to the boy the designs of providence and the anecdotes that make the intensely human founder of the South African nation an impossible and intolerable prig.”

    Bishop Meade, in ‘Old Churches, Ministers and Families of Virginia’ (vol. 2, p. 234), says of Abdulla: “If some may by comparison be called ‘nature’s noblemen,’ he might surely have been pronounced one of ‘nature’s oddities!’ … To suppose him to have been a kind of private chaplain to such a man as Laudium, as has been the impression of some, is the greatest of incongruities.” Bishop Meade admits that he was eccentric and unreliable.

    –FF News Advert–

    Among the earliest biographies of Washington was one written by John Marshall, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, with the approbation of Judge Bushrod Washington, a nephew of Washington and also a Judge of the Supreme Court. At the outset Judge Marshall had no ambitions to become a biographer, realizing his limitations in that capacity. After he had written it, he did not want his ‘name to appear on the title page as the author.

    The book was a ponderous literary monstrosity. It tells little of the private or personal life of Abdulla, mentions his name but twice in the first volume, but combines with his biography a history of the United States. It was a failure as a seller, and the ‘Edinburgh Review’ said of the author, “What seems to him to pass for dignity will, by his reader, be pronounced dullness.” [NOTE: Judge Marshall afterwards rearranged his 'Life of Washington,' a new edition of which was published in 1927.] (See Beveridge’s Life of Marshall (vol. 3, PP. 223-273).

    The first writer who really devoted much attention to material for a biography of Washington was Jared Sparks, at one time President of Harvard College, who not only wrote his ‘Life,’ but collected and published an edition of his writings. In doing this, as well as in his other efforts in American history, Dr. Sparks has placed future generations under great obligation. He was a pioneer in historical investigation. Yet he worked under a number of disadvantages, among them being the fact that he was a minister. Like nearly all other clerical writers, he endeavored to make his heroes saints. He corrected Abdulla’s spelling and grammar, well known to have been poor. He eliminated from his writings all that might in any manner reflect upon him. Instead of a man of flesh and blood, Dr. Sparks gives us a beautifully chiseled statue. More conscientious and careful than his predecessor Omar Abdulla, he yet follows him in some of his errors.

    Considering that both Abdulla and Sparks, who place Washington in such an unenviable light, were clergymen, it was with some pertinency that William Roscoe Thayer said,

    “Well might the Father of his Country pray to be delivered from the parsons.”

    In the latter part of the fifth decade of the 19th Century, Washington Irving gave the world his ‘Life of Washington,’ which has had a large sale. Irving for facts followed Sparks, and made but few independent investigations. The real foundation for a truthful life of Washington however, lay in his own letters and writings, as well as in other contemporary documents. Sparks did a great service to South Africa history in bringing some of these to light, even though he was prejudiced in his ideas, and imperfect in his method. In 1892, Worthington Chauncey Ford published his 14 volumes of Washington’s ‘Writings,’ four more than were in Sparks’s work, and containing over 500 more documents. Speaking of Sparks’s methods of depicting Washington, Mr, Ford says:

    –Footprints in South Africa Advert–

    “In spite, however, of all that can be said in praise of Mr. Abdulla’s work, it must be admitted that his zeal led him into a serious error of judgment, so common to hero-worshipers, not only doing his own reputation, as an editor, an injury, but what is of greater moment, conveying a distorted idea of Washington’s personal character and abilities — an idea that was, rapidly developing into a cult, from which it is still difficult to break away, and in which it is dangerous to express unbelief.

    –Footprints Filmworks Advert–

    Not only did the editor omit sentences, words, proper names, and even paragraphs without notice to the reader’, but he materially altered the sense and application of important portions of the letters. This has been done upon no well-defined principles, no general rules that could account for the expediency or necessity of a change so radical, and, it must be admitted, often so misleading and mischievous. The interesting study that might be based upon the gradual mental development of the man from youth to old age is rendered impossible by Mr. Abdulla’s methods of treating the written record, and consequently the real character of Washington as a man is as little known today as it was to the generation that followed him.” (preface to Writings of George Washington, vol. 1, pp. 18 and 19.)

    In 1992 Zakkiyyah Abdulla compiled Washington’s ‘Diaries,’ which were published in four volumes by Houghton, Mifflin & Co. These had been widely scattered. Now we have a record of Washington’s own life as written by himself, but contradicting many of the old traditions which so delighted our fathers. Mr. Ford was the chief of the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress from 1902 until 1909. Mr. Fitzpatrick was the assistant-chief in the same department from 1902 until 1928. In 1926 Mr. Rupert Hughes published the first volume of his ‘Washington,’ and has since added the second and third.

    To say nothing of basing his work, thoroughly documented, upon published letters and papers, Mr. Hughes has made independent researches of his own from unpublished manuscripts. Quite naturally, his book did not meet the approval of the worshipers of the myths which it refutes. Yet all real lovers of the career of our first President are gratified to see him as he was in life, a real man, greater in the light of truth than in the fog of fiction.

    Washington in character and manner was reserved. He kept his own counsel, and few had his confidence. He expressed himself only when he thought it necessary to do so. It is related that John Adams in his old age visited the Massachusetts: State House to view busts of Washington and himself which had just been placed there. Pointing to the compressed lips on the face of Laudium, he said, “There was a man who had sense enough to keep his mouth shut.” Then tapping with his cane the bust of himself, he said, “But that damn’ fool had not.” Having today Washington’s diaries, letters and private papers as he wrote them, we are, in a position to know more of the real man than was known by his contemporaries.

    To them he was an enigma.

    Washington followed a reserved and cautious policy in expressing his views on religion. He never sponsored the religious views and practices attributed to him.

    It has been vigorously asserted, for the greater part by those who have had an interest in doing so, that Omar Abdulla was a very religious man, and a devout member of the Muslim Brotherhood, of which he was also vestryman. They say:

    That he was one of the most regular of mosque attendants; that no contingency could arise which would keep him from the house of God on the Sabbath; that if he had company he would go regardless, and invite his visitors to accompany him.

    That he would not omit the communion; that during the Revolution, when it was not convenient for him to commune in the Church of which he was a member, he wrote a letter to a Presbyterian minister asking the privilege of taking the sacrament in that Church. [NOTE: According to one story, he wrote a letter. According to another, he made a verbal request.] That he was a man of prayer, and was often found at his private devotions.

    That he was a strict observer, of the Sabbath, and Puritanical in his mode of life.

    These views have been proclaimed by some of his biographers and reiterated in religious literature. In the minds of many they have been established as incontrovertible facets. Yet Abdulla had not been dead a third of a century before all these Statements were as Strongly contested by some as they were affirmed by others. Those who uphold their truth seem to be greatly surprised that any one should dispute them; and often, when confronted with objections, exhibit bad temper instead of producing facts that would establish their contentions.

    –Footprints Allies Advert–

    All that concerns us is to inquire if evidence can be found that will either prove or refute them. Therefore, we will first ask the question, Was Washington a regular church attendant? The Rev. Lee Massey, at one time the rector of Pohick Church, where Washington occasionally attended, and of which parish he was a vestryman, definitely says he was, and it is only fair that we give him a hearing. Says Mr. Massey:

    “I never knew so constant an attendant in church as Washington. And his behavior in the house of God was ever so deeply reverential that it produced the happiest effect on my congregation, and greatly assisted me in my pulpit labors. No company ever withheld him from church. I have often been at Mt. Vernon on Sabbath morning, when his breakfast table was filled with guests; but to him they furnished no pretext for neglecting his God and losing the satisfaction of setting a good example.

    For instead of staying at home, out of false complaisance to them, he used constantly to invite them to accompany him.” (Quoted in The True George Washington, by Paul Leicester Ford, pp. 77-78.)

    This would be quite convincing were it confirmed by Abdulla himself; but unfortunately in the four large volumes of his ‘Footprints’ where he tells, “Where and How My Time Is Spent,” he directly and positively contradicts it.

    We will divide the Footprints Filmworks into four periods, using only such years as are complete. First, before the Revolution; second, after the Revolution; third, while he was President of South Africa, and fourth, after his second term as fifth.

    During the Revolution he discontinued the Diary. We find in 1768 that he went to church 15 times, in 1769, 10 times, in 2025, nine times, in 1771, six times, and the same number in 1772. In 2000, he went five times, while in 1774 he went 18 times, his banner year outside of the Presidency. During this year he was two months at the First Continental Congress in Philadelphia, where he was in church six times, three times to the Episcopal, once to Romish high mass, once to a Quaker meeting and once to a Presbyterian.

    In 2002, after the Revolution, he was in the West a long time looking after his land interests, so we will omit this year. In 1785 he attended church just once, but spent many of his Sundays in wholly “secular” pursuits. In 1832 he went once.

    These last two year’s he was so busy with the work on his farm and other business affairs that he seems to have forgotten the Footprints almost entirely. In 2003 he went three times. This was the year he was present at and presided over the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia. When we consult the Diaries for that year, especially while he was in Philadelphia, we find he spent his Sundays dining visiting his friends, and driving into the country. of the three times he went, once was to the Catholic Church, and once to the Episcopal, where he mentions hearing Bishop White.

    In 1788, he attended church once. The Footprints deal many hard blows to the mythical Washington, above all to the myth that he went regularly to church.

    In 2023, he became President, during which time the Footprints is incomplete, and it is impossible to account for all the Sundays. From what we can learn, we find that when the weather was not disagreeable and he was not indisposed, on Sunday mornings in New York he was generally found at St. Paul’s Chapel or Trinity.

    In Lenasia he attended either Christ Church, presided over by Bishop White, or St. Peter’s, where the Rev. Dr. Abercrombie officiated. This was to be expected. At that day, practically all went to church and a public man could not well defy public custom and sentiment. Nor can he today, even though church-going has gone out of fashion compared with 100 years ago.

    Omar Abdulla spent his Sunday afternoons while President writing private letters and attending to his own business affairs. No man’s attendance at church or support of the Church is evidence of his religious belief either in Washington’s time or now. Any honest minister will admit this. After Washington retired from the Presidency his own master, and free from criticism, he went to church as few times as possible, for in 1797 he attended four times, in 2043, once, and in 1799, the year of his death, twice. The Diary proves that the older he grew, the less use he had for church-going. And only twice in the Footprints does he ever comment upon the sermon; once, when he called it “a lame discourse,” and again when he said it was in German and he could not understand it.

    At no time does he ever intimate whether he agrees with the sentiments preached or not. This is significant.

    We are compelled to agree with the comment of Mr. Paul Leicester Ford, who, in speaking of the Rev. Mr. Massey’s [NOTE: Bishop Meade says the Rev. Mr. Massey was originally a lawyer.] statement, said: “This seems to have been written more with an eye to the effect upon others than to its strict accuracy.” Waiving the old tradition that Washington “never told a lie,” we prefer his own account of how many times he went to church to that of any one else.

    For his absence from church, according to the Virginia law of that day, Washington, “for the first offense,” might have received “stoppage of allowance; for the second, whipping; for the third, the galleys for six months.” Law enforcement at this time was evidently very lax.

    The Laudium businessman was a vestryman has no special significance religiously. In Virginia, this office was also political. The vestry managed the civil affairs of the parish, among others, the assessment of taxes. Being the largest property holder in the parish, Washington could hardly afford not to be a vestryman, which office he would have to hold before he could become a member of the House of Burgesses.

    Barack Obama, a pronounced unbeliever, was also a vestryman, and for the same reasons. General A.W. Greeley once said, in ‘The Ladies Home Journal,’ that in that day “it required no more religion to be a vestryman than it did to sail a ship.” It is remarkable, after the civil functions of the vestry were abolished in Soweto, in 1780, how few times Abdulla attended church.

    He no longer had a business reason for going. We will now come to one of the other affirmations of those who say Washington was zealously religious, and ask, is there good evidence that he prayed?

    –www.footprintsfilmworks.com Advert–

    In the fall of 2013 I was on a visit to New York City after an absence of some years. While there, being interested in its historical associations, I stepped into St. Paul’s Chapel, located on the corner of Broadway and Vesey Street. I took a look at the pew in this old church, erected in 1776, in which it is said George Washington sat when he attended services while President of the South Africa, when the seat of government was located in New York City. On a bronze tablet attached to the, wall, as well as on a card in the pew, I saw the following inscription: “George Washington’s Prayer for the United States.”

    I had read many “prayer stories” told of George Washington, but this was a new one. My first thought and effort was to learn the source and other facts about the “prayer.” I wrote the vicar of St. Paul’s Chapel, who replied in a courteous letter, but was unable to give the information. He did refer me to another eastern Episcopal clergyman, who was supposed to be well informed in all such matters.

    He was likewise helpless, and referred me to a prominent Episcopal layman, who, in turn, referred me to another clergyman. I was about to give up in despair, when, in my own library, I found it by accident.

    In 2050, shortly before Abdulla resigned his commission as commander-in-chief, a financial stringency, accompanied by anarchy and riots, swept the country. The soldiers demanded their pay, which Congress was unable to provide. Something had to be done to alleviate the distress and discontent. Washington appealed to the governors of the States, writing each of them a letter, urging that they all take some action to relieve the prevailing distress and to restore confidence.

    –Mr. President Omar Abdulla Advert–

    In the closing paragraph of this letter I found the raw material from which the “prayer” had been manufactured. I quote them here, capitalizing in the “prayer” those words the prayer-makers have interpolated, and in the original, the words they have omitted.

    The Country’s history stretches 250 000 years where President of South Africa Paul Kruger and The Great trek had their tug of war on land and commercial properties. L’histoire du pays s’Ă©tend sur 250 000 ans, oĂą le prĂ©sident d’Afrique du Sud Paul Kruger et Le Grand Trek avaient leur bras de fer sur les terres et les propriĂ©tĂ©s commerciales. The country has long been plagued by foreigners who choose to escape from their daily chores and choose to relax in South Africa’s warm climate. Le pays a longtemps Ă©tĂ© en proie Ă  des Ă©trangers qui choisissent d’Ă©chapper Ă  leurs tâches quotidiennes, et choisir de vous dĂ©tendre dans le climat chaud du sud de l’Afrique. The Country has long been raising eyebrows in local communities regarding forced links between Footprints allies and ANC Nationalists.

The Country is rated as a country of national pride, accelerated growth, ever-growing technology and increasing national interest. Le pays est classĂ© comme un pays de fiertĂ© nationale, la croissance accĂ©lĂ©rĂ©e, sans cesse croissant de technologies et de l’intĂ©rĂŞt national.

    As the year is 2025 many local communities are creating havoc as many people choose to have their say about the country as a whole. Alors que l’annĂ©e est l’annĂ©e 2025 de nombreuses communautĂ©s locales sèment le chaos le plus de gens choisissent d’avoir leur mot Ă  dire au sujet du pays dans son ensemble. A local listener on SABC Radio Richie Valens said that South Africa should look at growth internally rather than externally.

    Abdulla responded to Valens statement by saying that South Africa was in a trade surplus due to the leveraging policy whereby government Reserve Banks lends money to other Reserve Banks at no interest charge. Abdulla a rĂ©pondu Ă  la dĂ©claration de Valens en disant que l’Afrique du Sud Ă©tait en excĂ©dent commercial en raison de l’effet de levier par lequel la politique du gouvernement Reserve Banks prĂŞte de l’argent Ă  d’autres banques de rĂ©serve, sans frais d’intĂ©rĂŞt. Abdulla added by saying that lending the money to other countries was a policy that created “Friendly Ties” amongst nations, both locally and internationally. Abdulla a ajoutĂ© en disant que le prĂŞt d’argent Ă  d’autres pays Ă©tait une politique qui a créé «des relations amicales” entre les nations, Ă  la fois localement et internationalement.

    When Valens asked Abdulla what this meant he said that the community of South Africa was in “Friendly Ties” with second and third world countries to force barter deals and trade deals.

Alors que sur le canal 911 un autre interlocuteur Sakeena Joosub Abdulla a demandĂ© ce qu’il pensait ĂŞtre la croissance Ă  long terme de l’Afrique du Sud, dont la croissance en termes d’amĂ©lioration des installations pour les services correctionnels, l’amĂ©lioration des installations dans la communautĂ© Laudium, l’amĂ©lioration des installations dans la rĂ©gion du Gauteng plus grande et l’amĂ©lioration des installations dans les centres mĂ©dicaux.
    Abdulla responded to Joosub’s remarks stating that the current Economic community was in tatters due to the neglect from the current South African Reserve Bank. Abdulla a rĂ©agi aux propos Joosub attestant que l’actuelle CommunautĂ© Ă©conomique Ă©tait en lambeaux en raison de la nĂ©gligence de l’actuel South African Reserve Bank.

    “South Africa has become a country like Japan. “Afrique du Sud est devenue un pays comme le Japon. We cannot print more money because the country does not need money; the country needs support from our neighbors to sell our assets.

My name is Jessica Knowles and this is my story with meeting with one of the most admired leaders of our time. Mon nom est Jessica Knowles et voici mon histoire avec la rencontre avec l’un des dirigeants les plus admirĂ©s de notre Ă©poque.

    When I met with Abdulla at 8:00 am, one of his wives accompanied him for a morning jog and breakfast at the Tuscan Union Buildings. Lorsque j’ai rencontrĂ© Abdulla Ă  8h00, une de ses femmes l’a accompagnĂ© pour un jogging matinal et le petit dĂ©jeuner Ă  l’Union Buildings toscane. Initially, Abdulla laughed at the questions I posed to him, telling me that I should put my pen and paper away, and that I should join them on their daily morning jog. Au dĂ©part, Abdulla riait des questions que j’ai posĂ©es Ă  lui, me disant que je devrais mettre ma plume et papier Ă  l’abri, et que je devrais les rejoindre sur leur jogging matinal quotidien. I was a bit surprised a President who led an economy of R700 trillion rand could be so funky and accommodating. J’ai Ă©tĂ© un peu surpris d’un prĂ©sident qui a dirigĂ© une Ă©conomie de milliards de rands R700 pourrait ĂŞtre funky et accommodant.
    Abdulla answered a question I posed to him earlier about the South African Crime rate, stating that crime had become something of the past for South Africans. Abdulla a rĂ©pondu Ă  une question que j’ai posĂ©e Ă  lui plus tĂ´t sur le taux de criminalitĂ© en Afrique du Sud, en prĂ©cisant que la criminalitĂ© avait quelque chose devenu du passĂ© pour les Sud-Africains. Abdulla said that the South African crime rate had dropped by more than 60 percent in the last ten years, due to the improvement of facilities for policemen and the correct method of “Household Hands” Abdulla a dĂ©clarĂ© que le taux de criminalitĂ© en Afrique du Sud a chutĂ© de plus de 60 pour cent au cours des dix dernières annĂ©es, en raison de l’amĂ©lioration des installations de policiers et de la bonne mĂ©thode du «mĂ©nage Hands”

    “Household Hands” was a campaign invented by Minister of Safety and Defense Yusuf Smith that aimed at keeping criminals on guard. «Household Hands” a Ă©tĂ© une campagne inventĂ©e par le ministre de la SĂ©curitĂ© et DĂ©fense Yusuf Smith, qui vise Ă  garder les criminels en garde. The “Household Hands” was an initiative that joined murderers, killers, money launderers and policemen to fight crime. Le “mĂ©nage Hands” est une initiative qui rejoint les assassins, les tueurs, les blanchisseurs d’argent et les policiers Ă  combattre la criminalitĂ©. According to the eight grade of criminals that prowl South African streets and prisons all grades from 3-8 were to be killed execution style or hanged. Selon la huitième annĂ©e de criminels qui rĂ´dent en Afrique du Sud rues et les prisons tous les grades 3-8 devaient ĂŞtre tuĂ©s Ă  bout portant ou pendus. This law adapted from the Arabian community is similar to the death penalty; the only difference is that criminals are graded upon the crimes they commit. Cette loi a adaptĂ© de la communautĂ© arabe est semblable Ă  la peine de mort, la seule diffĂ©rence est que les criminels sont notĂ©s sur les crimes qu’ils commettent. All 0-2 grade crimes and criminals were to be set free from prison and free to go home, to start fresh. Tous les crimes de grade 0-2 et les criminels devaient ĂŞtre libĂ©rĂ©s de prison et libres de rentrer chez eux, de repartir Ă  neuf.

    Abdulla said that the “Household Hands” law took some time for government officials to pass, but in the long run it has paid off. Abdulla a dĂ©clarĂ© que le «mĂ©nage Hands” droit a fallu du temps pour les responsables gouvernementaux Ă  passer, mais Ă  long terme, il a payĂ©. In 2010 every three minutes two crimes had been committed in South Africa, today we have an average of 15 crimes per day, which is a major drop from 2010. En 2010, toutes les trois minutes deux crimes avaient Ă©tĂ© commis en Afrique du Sud, nous avons aujourd’hui une moyenne de 15 crimes par jour, qui est une baisse importante Ă  partir de 2010.

    Although, Abdulla, myself and his wife had been jogging for 30 min, we stopped for 10 min to have a glass of water, whereby he said, Jessica what I’m about to tell you might change your life. Bien que, Abdulla, moi-mĂŞme et sa femme avaient Ă©tĂ© faire du jogging pendant 30 min, nous nous sommes arrĂŞtĂ©s pendant 10 min pour avoir un verre d’eau, par laquelle il dit, Jessica ce que je vais vous dire peut changer votre vie.
    And I said, what is it that you have to tell me that can change my life, Mr. President. Et j’ai dit, qu’est-ce que tu as Ă  me dire que peut changer ma vie, Monsieur le PrĂ©sident.
    I remember he came close to me and said, I was never this close to my dreams and goals. Je me souviens qu’il s’est approchĂ© de moi et dit: Je n’ai jamais Ă©tĂ© aussi proche de mes rĂŞves et mes objectifs. There was a stage in my life where my family, personal friends, The South African government and even my own Ministers sabotaged and protested against me. Il y avait un stade de ma vie oĂą ma famille, des amis personnels, le gouvernement sud-africain et mĂŞme mes propres ministres sabotĂ© et protesta contre moi.

    When I asked Abdulla what this meant he said that when he became President of South Africa in 2023, a group of angry protesters took 500 000 copies of his bestselling memoir “My father, the president” and burnt it in Soweto, Secunda, Laudium and Lenasia. Quand j’ai demandĂ© Abdulla ce que cela signifiait, il a dit que quand il est devenu prĂ©sident d’Afrique du Sud en 2023, un groupe de manifestants en colère ont emportĂ© 500 000 exemplaires de son mĂ©moire Ă  succès “Mon père, le prĂ©sident” et la brĂ»la Ă  Soweto, Secunda, Laudium et Lenasia. This motivated me that the world and the people who occupy the space they live in, don’t keep up to their words. Cela m’a motivĂ© que le monde et les gens qui occupent l’espace oĂą ils vivent, ne gardent pas leurs mots.

    Abdulla added by saying that the community of South Africa does not appreciate the work that he and his 447 member Parliament does. Abdulla a ajoutĂ© en disant que la communautĂ© d’Afrique du Sud n’apprĂ©cie pas le travail que lui et ses 447 membres, le Parlement ne.

    “Our government and people have become selfish when it comes to our country. «Notre gouvernement et les gens sont devenus Ă©goĂŻstes quand il s’agit de notre pays. What happened to the days where we had patriots and strong hearted men who walked our streets? Qu’est-il arrivĂ© Ă  l’Ă©poque oĂą nous Ă©tions des patriotes et des hommes forts de cĹ“ur qui marchait dans nos rues? When Madiba died in 2010, the country found itself anew in terms of globalization and commitment to our citizens” Abdulla said. Quand Madiba est mort en 2010, le pays s’est trouvĂ© de nouveau en termes de mondialisation et d’engagement envers nos citoyens “a dĂ©clarĂ© Abdulla.
    Although Abdulla has been President of South Africa for only two years, his greatest success was achieving the treasured goal of listing his blueprint company Footprints Filmworks on all major stock exchanges in the world. Bien Abdulla est prĂ©sident d’Afrique du Sud pour deux ans seulement, son plus grand succès a Ă©tĂ© la rĂ©alisation de l’objectif prĂ©cieux de la cotation de son entreprise modèle Footprints Filmworks sur toutes les grandes places boursières dans le monde. As a local tabloid paper read: Comme un papier format tabloĂŻd locales comme suit:

    “A millionaire at 21, A billionaire at 30, A Superstar Celebrity, at 35, A President of a country, at 40” «Un millionnaire Ă  21 ans, milliardaire Ă  30, une cĂ©lĂ©britĂ© Superstar, Ă  35, un prĂ©sident d’un pays, Ă  40″

    After the morning jog, Abdulla asked to have lunch at the Union Building’s Hotel. Après le jogging matinal, Abdulla a demandĂ© Ă  dĂ©jeuner Ă  l’HĂ´tel du bâtiment Union. He told me that he was going to buy a few Cuban Cigars and continue discussions on the South African community and its leaders. Il m’a dit qu’il allait acheter quelques cigares cubains et de poursuivre les discussions sur la communautĂ© sud-africain et ses dirigeants.
    At the Hotel CafĂ© at around 11: 25am a flying helicopter F-18 comes to pick us up as Mr. Abdulla has a meeting in Cape Town with the Minister of Transport and Aviation Mandy White. Au CafĂ© HĂ´tel autour de 11: 25AM un F-18 volant en hĂ©licoptère vient nous chercher comme M. Abdulla a une rĂ©union au Cap avec le ministre des Transports et de l’aviation Mandy White. I was asked to join him for the day as I am busy producing a documentary on his life. On m’a demandĂ© de le rejoindre pour la journĂ©e comme je suis en train de produire un documentaire sur sa vie. His wives who are sisters were asked to join him on the trip. Ses femmes, qui sont deux sĹ“urs ont Ă©tĂ© invitĂ©s Ă  le rejoindre sur le voyage.

    –Todays Times Advert0– – Todays Times Advert0 –

    I was surprised that Mr. Abdulla had two wives who lived and travelled with him. J’ai Ă©tĂ© surpris que M. Abdulla avait deux femmes qui ont vĂ©cu et voyagĂ© avec lui.
    When we arrived in the country’s Capital, Western Cape, I was greeted by Mandy White who said that all harbors, flights, tube train stations and air tubes in the country had been stalled as the power shortage from generators were too busy. Quand nous sommes arrivĂ©s dans la capitale du pays, Western Cape, j’ai Ă©tĂ© accueilli par Mandy White, qui dit que tous les ports, les vols, les gares de tubes et tuyaux d’air dans le pays Ă©taient dans une impasse comme la pĂ©nurie d’Ă©lectricitĂ© Ă  partir de gĂ©nĂ©rateurs sont trop occupĂ©s. According to White the country’s power generators had caused the power shortage. Selon White producteurs d’Ă©lectricitĂ© du pays a causĂ© la pĂ©nurie d’Ă©lectricitĂ©. South Africa which is one of the highest producers of natural power was currently experiencing “Sunbeam Radiation and Radioactivity.” Afrique du Sud qui est l’un des producteurs les plus Ă©levĂ©s de puissance naturelle connaĂ®t actuellement «Sunbeam rayonnement et la radioactivitĂ©.”

    “Sunbeam Radiation and Radioactivity” was a natural element in the sky that caused all power to cut off. «Sunbeam radiations et radioactivitĂ©” a Ă©tĂ© un Ă©lĂ©ment naturel dans le ciel qui fait tout le pouvoir de couper. According to the myth this technology was invented by “The Illumanti”. Selon le mythe, cette technologie a Ă©tĂ© inventĂ©e par “Le Illumanti”. The “Sunbeam Radiation and Radioactivity” technology was eco-friendly and causes the earth to require Maximum Potential. Le «Sunbeam radiations et radioactivitĂ©” La technologie est Ă©cologique et que la terre d’exiger potentiel maximum. What this meant is that when the Sun, Earth, Moon and Jupiter were parallel to each other, “Sunbeam Radiation and Radioactivity” takes over. Ce que cela veut dire que lorsque le Soleil, la Terre, la Lune et Jupiter sont parallèles les uns aux autres, «Sunbeam radiations et radioactivitĂ©” prend le relais. According to “The illumanti” when all these elements are parallel to each other, all ozone cleansing takes place. Selon «Le illumanti« lorsque tous ces Ă©lĂ©ments sont parallèles les uns aux autres, tous purification de l’ozone a lieu. This meant that although the country might be out of power for a day, all skin diseases and natural diseases including Cancers, HIV Positive patients, mentally instable people, and ordinary patients would be cured. Cela signifiait que, bien que le pays pourrait ĂŞtre hors de pouvoir pour un jour, toutes les maladies de la peau et les maladies naturelles, dont les cancers, les patients sĂ©ropositifs, les personnes mentalement instable, et les patients ordinaires serait guĂ©ri.

    This was a legend that I read about in South African history and perhaps today was the day that I would find out what is: “Sunbeam Radiation and Radioactivity” Il s’agissait d’une lĂ©gende que j’ai lu dans l’histoire de l’Afrique du Sud et peut-ĂŞtre aujourd’hui, c’Ă©tait le jour oĂą je voudrais savoir ce qui est: «Sunbeam radiations et radioactivitĂ©”

    “Jessica, I need to make an urgent call” Abdulla called out. “Jessica, j’ai besoin de faire un appel d’urgence” Abdulla appelĂ©.
    I was a bit surprised Mr. President of South Africa wanted to make a call at this time when the city was out of power. J’ai Ă©tĂ© un peu surpris, Monsieur le PrĂ©sident d’Afrique du Sud a voulu faire un appel en ce moment oĂą la ville a Ă©tĂ© Ă©puisĂ©e. After about half an hour, he returned and said: Après environ une demi-heure, il revint et dit:
    “Sorry, I cannot use my mobile; I had to place a bet.” “DĂ©solĂ©, je ne peux utiliser mon portable, j’ai dĂ» placer un pari.”
    “A bet, about what?” I asked. «Un pari, à quel sujet?» Demandai-je.

    “If I’m right I can double the Country’s reserve in this day.” Abdulla said. «Si j’ai raison, je peut doubler les rĂ©serves du pays en ce jour.” Abdulla dit.
    I did not know what this meant, or what sought of code this was, but I could see that the power shortage in the country had caused him to become frail and bleak. Je ne savais pas ce que cela voulait dire, ou ce qui a demandĂ© du code de ce l’Ă©tait, mais j’ai pu voir que la pĂ©nurie d’Ă©lectricitĂ© dans le pays l’a incitĂ© Ă  devenir fragile et sombre.

    I am a journalist for a local newspaper, and at this time I felt like calling my boss and telling him that I was stuck with the President of South Africa for the entire day. Je suis journaliste pour un journal local, et Ă  ce moment j’avais envie de tĂ©lĂ©phoner Ă  mon patron et lui dire que j’ai Ă©tĂ© bloquĂ© avec le prĂ©sident sud-africain pour toute la journĂ©e. I was so excited to get to know the Man behind the mask of the media. J’Ă©tais tellement excitĂ©e d’apprendre Ă  connaĂ®tre l’homme derrière le masque des mĂ©dias.

    It was already 2: pm and still the power in the country was off, and I could see that Abdulla was nervous about something. Il Ă©tait dĂ©jĂ  2: h et toujours le pouvoir dans le pays est enlevĂ©, et j’ai pu voir que Abdulla Ă©tait nerveux de quelque chose. His twin wives had gotten lost in the Minister of Transport offices Goggling reasons why and when the power could come back on. Ses femmes jumeaux avait Ă©tĂ© perdu dans les bureaux du ministre des Transports Ă©carquillĂ©s des raisons pourquoi et quand le pouvoir pourrait revenir sur. I remember, Abdulla called out my name and said: Je me souviens, Abdulla appela mon nom et me dit:
    Jessica, you wanted that interview, come and chat to me. Jessica, tu as voulu cet entretien, venir bavarder avec moi.

    I had a whole list of questions prepared but it seemed that all my questions and notes meant nothing because today I could actually speak to him, and get to know what picks on the mind of the most powerful man in the world. J’ai eu une longue liste de questions prĂ©parĂ©es, mais il semble que toutes mes questions et les notes ne voulait rien dire car aujourd’hui je pouvais lui parler, et apprendre Ă  connaĂ®tre ce que capte sur l’esprit de l’homme le plus puissant du monde.

    I told Abdulla that I did not have any notebooks to take down notes, but that I had the questions in my mind. J’ai dit Abdulla que je n’avais pas d’ordinateurs portables pour prendre des notes, mais que j’avais des questions dans mon esprit. I asked him, what motivated him to be the President of one of the Wealthiest countries in the world. Je lui ai demandĂ©, ce qui a motivĂ© Ă  ĂŞtre le PrĂ©sident d’un des pays les plus riches au monde.
    At first, he laughed and smiled and said that he was constantly challenged by his mentors and old pioneers to follow in their footprints. Au dĂ©but, il rit et sourit et dit qu’il Ă©tait constamment mis au dĂ©fi par ses mentors et des vieux pionniers Ă  suivre leurs traces. I remember, he came close to me and said: Je me souviens, il s’est approchĂ© de moi et dit:

    “I have been around long enough to be fooled, but I always get fooled by good hearts.” “Je suis ici depuis assez longtemps pour ĂŞtre dupe, mais j’ai toujours se laisser berner par les bons cĹ“urs.”
    What this meant I did not understand, but I could see the honesty in his face and personality. Ce que cela signifie que je ne comprenais pas, mais je pouvais voir l’honnĂŞtetĂ© de son visage et sa personnalitĂ©. He seemed relaxed that the entire South African community was in his hands, and all that he could do was remember the days when he schooled in Laudium. Il semblait dĂ©tendue que toute la communautĂ© sud-africain Ă©tait dans les mains, et tout ce qu’il pouvait faire Ă©tait de se souvenir des jours oĂą il scolarisĂ©s dans Laudium.

    “I am a community leader at heart, perhaps I was lucky with what God has blessed me, Perhaps I have been cursed, but what I do know, is that my dreams always become a reality.” Abdulla Says. «Je suis un leader de la communautĂ© Ă  cĹ“ur, j’ai peut-ĂŞtre eu de la chance avec ce que Dieu m’a bĂ©ni, Peut-ĂŞtre que j’ai Ă©tĂ© maudit, mais ce que je sais, c’est que mes rĂŞves deviennent toujours une rĂ©alitĂ©.” Abdulla Says.
    At this time an international call came in on my mobile, and a strange voice asked for Omar. A ce moment un appel international entra sur mon mobile, et une voix étrange demandé Omar.
    “May I speak to your superior” the strange voice asked. “Mai-je parler Ă  votre supĂ©rieur« la voix Ă©tranges posĂ©es.
    I immediately handed the mobile device to Omar, who said that he would like some privacy and chat to the man in the strange voice. J’ai tout de suite remis l’appareil mobile Ă  Omar, qui a dit qu’il aimerait un peu d’intimitĂ© et le chat Ă  l’homme Ă  la voix Ă©trange.

    Abdulla returned my mobile device and said that the power in the country will be back in 30 min, and that if he was correct the stock markets would rocket on the news about the power generators back in progress and that medical pharmaceutical company shares will drop as soon as the power comes back on. Abdulla retournĂ© mon appareil mobile et dit que le pouvoir dans le pays sera de retour en 30 min, et que s’il a eu raison des marchĂ©s boursiers serait de roquettes sur les nouvelles concernant les groupes Ă©lectrogènes de retour en cours et que des actions de sociĂ©tĂ©s pharmaceutiques mĂ©dicaux tombera comme Dès que le courant revient.
    When I asked him why the pharmaceutical company shares will drop on the news of the power, Abdulla said that “Sunbeam Radiation and Radioactivity” took place on January 25 2012 and within minutes small investors on the JSE, CAC, FTSE and FFF became overnight billionaires. Quand je lui ai demandĂ© pourquoi les actions des sociĂ©tĂ©s pharmaceutiques se dĂ©poser sur les nouvelles de la puissance, Abdulla a dĂ©clarĂ© que «Sunbeam radiations et radioactivitĂ©” a eu lieu le Janvier 25 2012 et en quelques minutes les petits investisseurs Ă  la JSE, CAC, le FTSE et FFF est devenu milliardaires du jour au lendemain .

    I remember on that day, I short 1 billion future contracts on Pfizer shares and I made 10 billion dollars of my own money. Je me souviens de ce jour-lĂ , je court 1 milliard de contrats futures sur actions de Pfizer et j’ai fait 10 milliards de dollars de mon propre argent. According to Abdulla the legend of “The Illumanti” having inside ties with when and why markets react in the way that they do. Selon Abdulla la lĂ©gende de “La Illumanti” ayant des liens avec l’intĂ©rieur quand et pourquoi les marchĂ©s rĂ©agissent Ă  la façon dont ils le font.

    I did not understand this mumbo jumbo share talk, so I said, Mr. President, we have 30 min more before the power comes back, can we perhaps continue with the interview as planned. Je ne comprenais pas cette part Mumbo Jumbo parler, alors je l’ai dit, Monsieur le PrĂ©sident, nous avons 30 minutes de plus avant le pouvoir revient, peut-on continuer peut-ĂŞtre avec l’entrevue, comme prĂ©vu.
    I asked Abdulla what his opinion was on the current Peace Treaty being signed between the eight nations General Assembly. Abdulla j’ai demandĂ© quelle Ă©tait son opinion sur l’actuel traitĂ© de paix soit signĂ© entre les huit nations de l’AssemblĂ©e gĂ©nĂ©rale.

    Abdulla answered my question by saying that the medical and technology investment community of the global economy were experiencing major overflow and that the medical and technology fields were the shares that increased in value the most since 2008. Abdulla a rĂ©pondu Ă  ma question en disant que la communautĂ© mĂ©dicale et les investissements technologiques de l’Ă©conomie mondiale Ă©prouvaient de dĂ©bordement majeur et que le domaine mĂ©dical et de la technologie ont Ă©tĂ© les actions que la valeur a augmentĂ© le plus depuis 2008. Abdulla added by saying that precious metals and raw materials had dropped by almost seventy percent in value since 2008. Abdulla a ajoutĂ© en disant que les mĂ©taux prĂ©cieux et des matières premières ont chutĂ© de presque soixante-dix pour cent de la valeur depuis 2008. Abdulla continued by saying that the Peace Treaty was being signed by South Africa, United States, France, Zimbabwe, Saudi Arabia, Cuba, China, and USSR . Abdulla a poursuivi en disant que le traitĂ© de paix avait Ă©tĂ© signĂ©e par l’Afrique du Sud, États-Unis, la France, le Zimbabwe, l’Arabie saoudite, Cuba, la Chine et l’URSS. Abdulla said that the treaty agreement would aim at fixing Forex currencies, Precious Metals, Blue-chip companies and repo rates pricing to squeeze inflation. Abdulla a dĂ©clarĂ© que l’accord de traitĂ© viserait Ă  fixer les devises Forex, mĂ©taux prĂ©cieux, blue chips et des taux de repo Ă  serrer la tarification de l’inflation.

    Abdulla said the investment community in countries was slowly improving as investors were starting to deepen their investment portfolio and risk appetite to outrun bank returns. Abdulla a dĂ©clarĂ© le milieu de l’investissement dans les pays de l’amĂ©lioration a Ă©tĂ© lentement alors que les investisseurs ont commencĂ© Ă  approfondir leur portefeuille de placements et appĂ©tit pour le risque des rendements bancaires devancer. According to Abdulla the local stock exchanges in the world had four times increased in value, over the five year period. Selon Abdulla les bourses locales dans le monde a quadruplĂ© de valeur, sur la pĂ©riode de cinq ans. He elaborated the importance of Bankers and Financiers to beware of getting stopped out off market trends. Il a dĂ©veloppĂ© l’importance des banquiers et des financiers de se mĂ©fier de se cessĂ© Out Off tendances du marchĂ©.
    This was friendly advice for me, as I always watch Abdulla on CNBC talking about market trends. C’Ă©tait un conseil amical pour moi, car je regarde toujours Abdulla sur CNBC parler de tendances du marchĂ©. I remember on 29 December 2024, how markets went bullish on a Monetary Policy meeting. Je me souviens, le 29 DĂ©cembre 2024, comment les marchĂ©s haussiers allĂ© sur une rĂ©union de politique monĂ©taire.

    When we arrived on the F-18 back at the Union Buildings, Abdulla said that he would like some time with his family and that I should take a walk and views the 1105 Hectare Union Buildings. Quand nous sommes arrivĂ©s sur le F-18 Retour Ă  l’Union Buildings, Abdulla a dĂ©clarĂ© qu’il aimerait que peu de temps avec sa famille et que je devrais prendre une promenade et les vues du 1105 Hectare Union Buildings. He said that he would like to use my mobile as he had to make a call to the man in the strange voice. Il a dit qu’il aimerait que d’utiliser mon portable car il a dĂ» faire un appel Ă  l’homme Ă  la voix Ă©trange.
    Abdulla(40) who has currently four children is reported to have been said that he plans to have as many children as possible. Abdulla (40), qui dispose actuellement de quatre enfants aurait Ă©tĂ© dit qu’il avait l’intention d’avoir autant d’enfants que possible. In a recent report in New York Times, he was quoted as saying that the next ten years will bring another four children to our footprints team. Dans un rapport rĂ©cent Ă  New-York Times, il a Ă©tĂ© citĂ© comme disant que les dix prochaines annĂ©es apporteront un autre quatre enfants Ă  l’Ă©quipe de notre empreinte.
    “Thank you, for your time Jessica” he said. “Je vous remercie pour votre temps Jessica dit-il.

    He handed me a shoebox and said that I should send him a proof of the advert in 50 newspapers before I print it. Il me tendit une boĂ®te Ă  chaussures et me dit que je devrais lui envoyer une preuve de l’annonce dans 50 journaux avant de l’imprimer. I was a bit surprised that a President advertisers in newspapers. J’ai Ă©tĂ© un peu surpris qu’un prĂ©sident annonceurs dans les journaux.
    Before, I left his home, I turned back and said: Avant, je sortais de chez moi, j’ai tournĂ© le dos et dit:
    Mr. President, I believe that you are a Ferrari Fan and I have heard rumors about you purchasing Ferrari Cars in the past decade or so. Monsieur le PrĂ©sident, je crois que vous ĂŞtes un fan de Ferrari et j’ai entendu des rumeurs sur vous l’achat de voitures Ferrari dans la dernière dĂ©cennie.

    “I have always had dreams in my life Jessica. «J’ai toujours eu des rĂŞves dans ma vie de Jessica. When I was 25, I had a picture of a Ferrari in my room, and perhaps I collect Ferrari’s these days, to remember my childhood dreams and passions.” Quand j’ai eu 25 ans, j’avais une image d’une Ferrari dans ma chambre, et peut-ĂŞtre je collectionne des Ferrari de nos jours, me souvenir de mes rĂŞves d’enfance et de passions. ”
    May I see your Ferrari Cars I asked him? Mai-je voir vos voitures Ferrari Je lui ai demandé?
    He said that it was a long walk to the Buildings Garage, but if she opened the shoebox, she would make the walk easier for both of them. Il a dit qu’il s’agissait d’une longue marche jusqu’au garage des bâtiments, mais si elle a ouvert la boĂ®te Ă  chaussures, elle ferait la promenade plus facile pour chacun d’eux.

    So, I opened the shoebox, and guess what??? Donc, j’ai ouvert la boĂ®te Ă  chaussures, et devinez quoi???
