The 'Omar Abdulla,' Show
Episode One
Duration-45 minutes
Filmed: 4 July 2011
Welcome to The Omar Abdulla show...This show is hosted by 'me,' Omar Abdulla...This is our first show to be broadcasted on screens in October 2011...The Show has special 'interviews,' and meetings with leaders from the community of South Africa...We urge the community of South Africa to call us on our lines to discuss 'your ideas,' about life and the future of our nations across the globe...This broadcast is broadcasted in South Africa at our offices in Pretoria...Today, we will be meeting with three guests from South Africa including President Jacob Zuma, Helen Zille and Julius Malema...We also have guests from the University of Johannesburg-Dr Habib Omar and Sakeena Joosub from the University of Unisa...We are here to discuss the current election debate that 'happened,' on May 18...Welcome to our first broadcast of 'The Omar Abdulla Show...'
Seventeen years ago-South Africa celebrated democracy with the release of Nelson Mandela from prison after serving twenty-seven years behind bars on notations of treason and abidding to the then South African government...Our guests today will discuss the last nine years of the South African democracy and ways of improving standards in our father nation...Welcome guests...
Omar Abdulla: Welcome President Jacob Zuma, Helen Zille, Julius Malema and University guests Dr. Habib Omar and Sakeena Joosub...
All: 'Thank you,' for having us...!'
Omar Abdulla: It's good to have so many of today's 'nations head,' on one table and we have received ample requests from the community of South Africa to interview members from the South African community...'Thank You,' to our guests...My first question received from Alberta Knowles from Johannesburg has a question for President Zuma...How has your family coped with the election debate and are you happy with the results-released on May 20 by the IEC...
Julius Malema: I can answer that question for the President...We at the African National Congress expected more from the ANC voting public...In 2009, when voters went to the polls there were 79 parties partaking in the election...The election in 2011 we congressed to compete with 121 parties...Clearly, our notations have dropped as comparred with the previous elections...We have had disputes with other parties that have won seats in Parliament this year...I am confident that the cage of the elections has just began the brunt with many of the parties contesting...
President Jacob Zuma: The election debate organized by the 'Omar Abdulla Show,' is appreciated by members from the South African public...Thanks...I would like to start off by saying to fellow leaders and members from the community who are watching this broadcast...Thank You for your vote...Thank You to the ANC and members from parliament for choosing the party of choice...My answer to the question from Johannesburg is that my family were 'always with me...' I have twenty-three children and they were all holding my hand when results were released...I am also grateful to other parties for a 'free-'n-fair,' election...To the results we have received from the commission...We wish it was better...We have won...Amandla!
Sakeena Joosub: You have lost your stronghold in certain sectors in Gauteng, Limpopo and Kwazulu-Natal...What is your opinion on this Mr. Zuma??
President Jacob Zuma: One night I was playing cards with other leaders of parties from the public and we discussed ways of improving their sectors in government...Clearly, the ANC has a lot to do with almost 6.6 percent loss in voters from the last voting public...We have 'formed sub-mergers,' with coalitions governements in certain districts in the metropolitian...The reason we lost votes from the voting public is the joining of strong parties with second and third relation parties...As President of South Africa, I have agreed to a certain coalition government in the Western Cape with members of Parliament...
Omar: We will be back after this commercial break...

Omar Abdulla: Welcome back...Moving on, with the election results 'out-and-about,' the last nine years have been moving quite slowly for everyday South African's...My question to Dr. Habib Omar is that with the 'New South Africa,' at the helm, what can we do as South African's to better our communities, our country, our nation and our global community...
Dr Habib Omar: I think that half the work is already done by members from Parliament...I think that many of our village and urban workers complain too much about the lack of water, about the lack of sanitation, about the lack of energy and about the lack of Member intervention...My question posed back to President Jacob Zuma is that are residents happy with the work done by the council and what further assistance can we expect for South African's...
President Jacob Zuma: The work is perhaps quarterly done by government as discussed by Cabinet in March 2011...We are dissappointed with the polls by the ANC and lack of intervention by other parties is our priority...Every country has it's complaints by residents-but what we can do is save to ensure cleaner water, and a better power energy in South Africa...The complaints received in the streets can only be answered by themselves...Dr. Habib, I truly believe that South Africa can become a better country if residents 'put their hands in their pockets,' to ensure a better lifestyle opportunity...
Sakeena Joosub: In relation to improving standards for South African's what is governments plan to improve schooling standards and university standards for South African's and what investment is forecasted by government to instill a sense of 'deserved pride,' by Cabinet...
President Jacob Zuma: I will let the ANC -youth league president answer this question Miss. Joosub...!
Julius Malema: The schooling in South Africa cannot perhaps match the standards set-out by the American and British standards but we can simply see the change in our literacy numbers...Since the ANC was unbanned in 1990 the literacy numbers have went up by almost 40 percent...When it comes to education-the key to success towards the numbers is the parents...Children cannot 'learn and grow,' without the support of their parents...My question asked to the parents of South Africa is that are they doing enough to see the growth of their children...The government has increased spending from R4 bllion rand last year to R4.3 billion rand this year-forecasted in bidding of 'buying out,' private schools for the use of public use...
Dr. Habib Omar: In the field of schools and universities Mr. Malema I have noticed that parents leave the work to their teacher's chores...I have done research on people who study in our university and parents lack of intervention with their children is clearly out-dated...What can government do to excel the viewership with learners, and teachers to improve relationships with parents and their growth in examinations and tutorials in their work...
President Jacob Zuma: I can answer this question by the university lecturer...In order for parents to continue their work with their learners-a relationship must be built between mother, father and teacher...Teachers have under-went courses to excel relationships with parents...Cabinet has set meetings with the Minister of Education and other leaders including Nkosi Albert Luthli and The Department of Education...From the allocated R4.3 billion rand-one billion rand will be used to improve the standards of our libraries-but installing computers and internet connection for learners...We can do so much when it comes to education in South Africa and the rest is left to the 'parents and peers...'
Helen Zille: The accumalation of money by the White community of South Africa has helped them send their children to better schools and universities...The black and white sectors still experience a form of racial discrimination...This racial discrimination shows in the schooling sectors of South Africa...It is unfortunate that the desires experienced by the black community will only be realized when whites fully respect the black government...The black and white cultural mix in schools shows today and you can just notice it when the results of schools are released...Why are our black students achieving 40 percent pass marks when whites- some whites achieve beyond the distinction grades...
President Jacob Zuma: The reason blacks achieve lower grades than their counterparts is because English is the primary language taught in South Africa...Miss Zille-if you schooled in India and were taught in Hindu-would you not achieve the horrid results seen by black South African's...
Omar Abdulla: Are things really that bad when it comes to the results of black South African's Dr. Habib and what can the everyday black student learn from the white student to better their grades in school and university...??
Dr. Habib Omar: Schools in South Africa have under-went a massive change since Apartheid and leaders from the nation can only grow over time...Rome was not built in a day-nor will South Africa become a first world country without the support of the entire nation...Miss Zille is right about the lack of invention by the white community of South Africa and trust has to build towards a black government...What the 'normal,' student has to learn from the 'world-class student,' is the ability to persist...Your mind must be ready to receive the results forecasted...Very often I see students fail towards their grades set-out by their friends is because of the lack of 'personality intervention,' by parents, learners and teachers...
Omar Abdulla: Back in a moment...

Omar Abdulla: We are coming to the end of our episode and we have a request from Jessica Mildrad asking President of South Africa about ways of stemming juice in the South African community and what's planned by the Minister of Finance about interest rates, about inflation, about property taxes and about improving Gross Domestic Product...
President Jacob Zuma: Interest rates as forecasted by The South African Reserve Bank is in tune with inflation although normal food and gasoline prices are expected to be reduced by end year...Prime rate is expected to increase from 9 percent to 9.5 percent by end year and the expectation of two new bank openings in this year...The South African Reserve plans to stimulate the economy by reducing taxes for the average person to zero for earners below R4400.00...We expect from foreign forecasts that the rand will become stronger with weak data released from The United States...We expect property taxes to remain stable and Gross Domestic Product to increase by 0.4 percent in the last quarter of 2011...
Dr Habib Omar: Miss Zille, what is your opinion on the Gross Domestic Product and does the everyday person feel that they are contributing to both monetary and fiscal policy....??
Helen Zille: We are far superior than other leading nations in Africa and as a South African leader, every small desire that we focus on MUST be instilled by South African's...The GDP as estimated by Stats SA states that Whites contribute to 40 percent of the economy with the rest contributed by the racial groups...The focus of the South African economy is 'scewed,' as the rich are getting richer and the poor is getting poorer...My advice to everyday South African's is the first step when you receive your paycheck is donate 10 percent of income to a worthy cause...That way both the country and the country's residents are uplifted...
Sakeena Joosub: Mr Julius Malema Mr. Zuma stated that prime rate is to be increased by 0.5 percent by end year and the current inflation target of CPI is in line with 4.5 percent...Why raise interest rates and do you think that Minister Pravin Gordhan is doing a great job in Parliament...??
Julius Malema: What is fatal to Pravin Gordhan's success is his inability to focus on the South African Reserve Bank...He once said that we should print R3 trillion rand worth of currency in 2011...If we were to do this inflation could reach almost 6 percent...I think raising interest rates in South Africa will 'bring down,' property prices by 5 percent from nominal value and improve foreign investment...I have always had discussions with President Zuma to re-instate former Finance Minister Trevor Manuel...
Omar Abdulla: Personally, one could see inflation in line with interest rates but this could create 'credit doldrums,' for residents of the country...Mr. President what is your goal the next two years as President of South Africa and as a 'thumb sucking,' notation who would you see as the next President of South Africa??
President Jacob Zuma: My reign as President of South Africa will come to a close-unless I get re-elected by the voting public and the African National Congress...Many birds have whispered in my ears that the voting public will vote for Julius Malema-but we will have to wait and see...My ten years behind bars are being realized that as a true patriot of our nation we can only become Africa's leader...My goal as President of South Africa in the next two years is to reduce levels of crime, improve the 'daily needs,' of South Africans, reduce unemployment and stem business opportunities by creating jobs in the major cities...Money is the root of all evil in Parliament and we have been labelled as many things in the past...My notation is to remove the bad w o r d s spoken by members from the community and lead the country from the front...
Omar Abdulla: That's all we have today-See you tomorrow when we meet with Motivational Speaker Robin Banks and Anthony Robbins to inspire the many millions of viewers...Until tomorrow...!

Episode Two
Filmed July 12
Duration: 45 minutes
Welcome to another show of 'The Omar Abdulla Show,' coming to you live from our studio's in Pretoria...We would like to 'Thank,' our previous guests and welcome calls, emails, faxes and any communication to this site, to this broadcast, to this email and to this notification to you...Today we will be meeting with South African motivational speaker Robin Banks and speaking to International motivating speaker Anthony Robbin's via Skype from our offices of Footprints Filmworks...
Omar Abdulla: Guests, studio audiences and our fellow team...Good morning and hello!...I'd like to start off by asking simple questions to the three of you about life, about success, about 'goal setting,' and the power of visualization...Mr. Robin Banks who hails from Cape Town and delivers talks in the father nation to millions to students about the 'motivational epic,' of life is here today...We also have international speaker Mr. Anthony Robbins from Atlanta in the United States who is a mentor coach in The United States, South Africa, Brazil and Canada...
Robin Banks: Welcome, Shalom, Vanakkam, Salaams, Hello to all...I'd like to start off by saying that success happens to you and 'you,' happen to be success's friends...Very often life is a cycle of life that sometimes we choose, and sometimes we don't choose the results...In many ways the outcomes of every situation is chosen by you-consiously or subconciously...Life is simply put-Living in Full Energy...Our success depends on our thoughts, our words and our deeds...
Omar Abdulla: We also have a 'special guest,' who is joining us today in the form of Hindu special healer-Mr. Chnis Barnard from the Hindu Association of South Africa to give advice on 'spiritual healing...' Welcome to you and let us know what is in your heart, your mind, your spirit and your body...
Robin Banks: I'd like to add on to the notation about the thoughts, the words, and the deeds...These special forces WILL succumb into action by constant affirmation to oneself...Oneself is the MOST IMPORTANT element towards one's success...Success is seen in different forms-in the form of health, wealth and wisdom...Take yourself as an example...If you are struggling to gain financial freedom, emotional freedom, spiritual freedom or whatever goals you have set...That long list comes to an end today...
Mr. Chnis Barnard: I tend to agree with Mr. Banks, but have to add to his comments...Yes, success can be achieved and 'highligted,' in every way, but we have to put that effort into it...I have a daughter in school who wants to come out first on every opportunity but fails to achieve the results because 'she loves to sleep,' and does not put the effort in to achieve those A grade results...The answer is simple...If you are failing-you are not alone...Failure is a stepping stone towards success and failure is a trial that we must all go through to appreicate the success we will one day enjoy...
Anthony Robbins: The weather is awfully cold here in Atlanta this time of year...Thank you to the guests and viewers..I grew up with no money, no financial freedom and at the age of twenty-something I was living in a bachlor's flat with a wife and two daughters and no opportunities to excel in my business...I was in financial ruin of $786 000 dollars and failed at every attempt on life...I was constantly being plagued by my wife to achieve results that I could not manifest...One year later I achieved targets of earning almost a million dollars and moving into the castle our family once dreamt...How did I go from being a Zero to society to almost becoming one of the most talked-about speakers in The United States...??
Omar Abdulla: I am newly-married and sometimes I feel the pressures of the community and society as a whole too...What valueable advice do you have for our community, our society, our country and the 'global nation,' to rescue our thoughts from these limiting beliefs that we have or will have...??
Anthony Robbins: Money is a limiting belief on it's own...I have worked with leaders from Barack Obama to many millions of people who complain about their state of mind or whatever that holds them back...The key is simple...Welcome opportunities, welcome, 'new idea's,' welcome 'new thoughts,' and get-rid of old belief systems that once plagued our mind...We can all be financially secure with the agreement of letting go off the past mistakes...The key is forgive and 'let go...' We cannot watch our waste get flushed down the toilet...Let it go...If you are having difficultly-letting go of a past relationship, a past failure or a failure that has crept our mind-come to one of our seminars in The United States or do whatever it takes to erase the possibilities to repeat 'past mistakes...'
Robin Banks: I have a similiar story to yours...I was engaged to be married to the woman of my dreams and we decided to split-up...It so happened that I lived across her house and would often watch cars park at her house till the late hours of the night...I was only nineteen, but I was hurt by this because I felt that here was a woman that I truly loved and within weeks-cars were parked outside her house, and I felt that I was either not good enough or I did fail in some part of my romance...I later learnt that her father had bought her a new car and I was the fool in my thinking...When it comes to limiting beliefs we are often afraid to take the risks that will bear failure...I often say in speeches in the country-it's always good to plan and act again...We can promote and market idea's as best as we can if we have the power within ourself...I was never a dreamer in school and never went to university...What is important is that we respect our own 'desires and dreams,' and remember to 'fake it until you make it...'
Omar Abdulla: Interestings w o r d s you have to offer...But does it really work...I sometimes wonder who, what, when and 'how-to,' about certain goals I have set for myself and sometimes the results take-forever...How can we speed up our dreams and create our dreams into a reality...
Mr. Chnis Barnard: Omar- results, dreams, opportunities or whatever you have written down become a reality only on the focus of God...I was in India a while ago and I got in some talks with traditional leaders who taught me the art of mediation, the art of yoga and many art forms to still our mind for visualization...The importance of breathing in a 'certain style,' when performing yoga will be practised by the studio audience and guests at home-if they choose...If you don't know where you are going-that is where you going to go...Nowhere...This can be changed by being creative in what you choose out of life...If you are a woman-seeking a life partner, or a businessman choosing to excel in your business-or a sportsman to achieve greater trophies-or a mother willing to teach her chidren-or a father that chooses to grow his children up...Follow with notes of our lectures in South Africa that will be offered later in this show....
Anthony Robbin: You know, we often go through stages in our lives that nothing seems to go right...If we do a certain thing or put a certain idea across-we get put out...Try again...Nothing is lost through trying and remember that some friends are like diamonds some friends are like hyena's...They only there when the success is around and are not to be seen when you are at a loss...We must remember that whatever you see for yourself, your family, your country and your 'innermost-desires,' must first be written down, then visualized and trust me will become a reality...We must truly desire something from the pit of our stomachs to really achieve it...It's not only about the materialistic values of life...It's about finding the right partner, or investing in the right business or visiting the right country...I believe that our destiny is written for us by God-and we can always change his mind...For the better.
Omar Abdulla: We will be back after this commercial break....

Omar Abdulla: Welcome back-during the break we were talking a little about the experiences of life and why some people choose success and why failure happens to a-lot of us for no reason...To elaborate further-the floor is yours guests...
Anthony Robbins: I watched in one of your shows Mr. Abdulla that whatever we earn we should 'give away,' 10 percent of it for whatever cause...I cannot agree more...The successful businessman ALWAYS achieves more if he gives it away and I'd like to add to that statement...The importance of gratitude...In the Bible it clearly states the importance of gratitude...Always be thankful for what you have and even what you don't have...It will come to you in due course...On the subject of the holy Bible it clearly states that 'If Man has but the faith of a mustard seed-the universe and it's contents are his...' So- I would like to ask the audience...Where is your faith...??
Robin Banks: I was reading an interesting book by John Kehoe that states that we often DO NOT practise on the goals that we have set...We write it down and remains in our diary for the rest of the year...The action will follow if we persist on our idea's...Remember that no thought is worth entertaining unless the thought can bear you fruit...All the viewers at home-their goals are different and their achievements are different...We must find common ground to grow...You were talking earlier about sportsman who chooses to grow fast...A team cannot grow if one player is playing cricket whilst the other is playing football...Let your partners and team know that you on the same page...
Omar Abdulla: Let us just say that you are in a relationship woe with your partner and your partner does not agree with certain idea's and things that you are doing...What is your advice on relationships in business, in marriage, in life and with fellow friends...??
Mr. Chnis Barnard: I'd like to answer this question Omar-if I may...The most important relationship is with father and son, or mother and son, or father and daughter or mother and daughter because you are that relationship...Secondly, relationships get better over time with the finesse of style, with the ambiance of knowledge, with the scope of tomorrow and with the 'thrill of yesterday...' Marriages often fail because of lack of sex, lack of romance, lack of communication and lack of persistance...It's also an ego thing because one partner thinks the other is smaller-or the other way round...As Robin says-find common ground of growth...
Omar Abdulla: I'd like to talk a little about ego-because the ego is a powerful spiritual force that can motivate or destroy ones personality and one's inner focus...??
Anthony Robbins: The ego is the most powerful motivator because it has to do alot with ones 'balls of steel...' The ego also deals with competition in sports, competition in business, competition of fame or any form of competition...If used in the right way-the ego can be a powerful tool...We should also take note that in a relationship-the ego is a force that deals with 'smallness,' or 'bigness...' God does not know about these elements because we are all created in the likeness of God...No-man is superior than his friend because of his qualities...Wheather you are a Barack Obama or a plain jane living in our county...You are all equal in God's eyes...The reason God sent us holy prophets is to 'lend a hand,' to Mankind to guide him towards his straying beliefs...
Robin Banks: The reason one friend achieves more than the other is because of TIME, SPACE, MATTER and ENERGY...We can increase these four synergies by increasing our mental, physical and spiritual strenghth...I have courses in South Africa that help the individual to gain these tools in South Africa and soon to be launched internationally....
Omar Abdulla: You talk about time, space, matter and energy...Give us a glimpse what the course offers to better these results in our everyday lives...
Robin Banks: We have written goals, we have 'mind goals,' and we have goals that perhaps we don't share with our friends...The way to increase your time on this earth, or to increase the space of our properties or to create a stronger 'matter cycle,' or a way to increase working energy is by simply doing it...When I was about nine years old-my father always told me that the way to achieve anything is 'simply do it...' Be proactive...Take the steps today for a better tomorrow...Tomorrow is an illusion-not even the wisest wizard can tell you what the future holds...Have a plan, act, follow, lead and you shall cherish...Man is often denied his success because he has habits...Relationships fail because of habits...I am not saying that habits form destruction...If you keep on doing the same things, the same results will follow...Our courses in South Africa is about producing results and not more thoughts...We don't want a depressed life and in order to have a happy life we must be AWARE, AWAKE, ALIVE and ALERT!
Omar Abdulla: Back in a moment...!

Omar Abdulla: Rounding up our comments from our guests we have an email from Winston Charles from Polokwane who asks Robin Banks when is the next course in South Africa and valueable advice about business growth for future trends...??
Robin Banks: Course details can be viewed on our website or by calling 0861722657...We have a wide range of workshops in Western Cape, Limpopo, Gauteng and Eastern Cape...You would have to come to the one in Johannesburg because I am not coming all the way to Polokwane for you-unless you have a business organization...What I have found that really works to excel in ones business is risk...Take the change of tomorrow to reap today's returns...If if means buying a new computer, or hiring a new staff, or extending a home-loan or buying a new car for your business do it...The risk will pay off...I would also like to say that a company like Old Mutual took them 75 years to achieve a success of a multi-million rand business and more recently-Pick 'n Pay...A business will not give you it's cost price but it will give you it's selling price...Work smart and work even harder...I have found that team meetings with my staff every morning-does the trick...!
Mr. Chnis Barnard: I have to add to Robin's comments by saying that daily yoga and mediation works...If you cannot see the pictures in your mind as my friend Omar-use pictures from newspapers or websites to build a mental image...The images will form in your mind over time...The way Michael Jackson did it-it was simple...He saw himself on stage infront of millions of people-from the age of nine...And it builds from there...The knowledge and education is there...Just 'tap,' into your inner mind....
Anthony Robbins: I have dealt with Warren Buffet personally to empower his businesses and what I often find that creates success in his business is writing a personal letter to his staff team on a daily basis...I find that speaking, talking mean alot to a staff member...If you really want to see the success in your business and more than three times income in less than six months...Pick up the telephone and market your business...Put your business on the internet...Send 'birthday messages,' to your current clients...Or simply call them in your 'mind-workshop,' and speak to them...I have also found that people who are passed can help grow a business...In a religion book I was reading it states that marriage is half your religion...Grow your business with your partner as well...
Omar Abdulla: That's all we have for today...Join us tomorrow when we will be speaking to members affected by drugs and rehabilitation 'gurus,' to help your loved one off drugs, alcohol or any infected disease to deal with the trauma...Join us tomorrow for The 'Omar Abdulla,' Show produced by Footprints Filmworks...

The 'Omar Abdulla,' Show
Episode One
Duration-45 minutes
Filmed: 4 July 2011
Welcome to The Omar Abdulla show...This show is hosted by 'me,' Omar Abdulla...This is our first show to be broadcasted on screens in October 2011...The Show has special 'interviews,' and meetings with leaders from the community of South Africa...We urge the community of South Africa to call us on our lines to discuss 'your ideas,' about life and the future of our nations across the globe...This broadcast is broadcasted in South Africa at our offices in Pretoria...Today, we will be meeting with three guests from South Africa including President Jacob Zuma, Helen Zille and Julius Malema...We also have guests from the University of Johannesburg-Dr Habib Omar and Sakeena Joosub from the University of Unisa...We are here to discuss the current election debate that 'happened,' on May 18...Welcome to our first broadcast of 'The Omar Abdulla Show...'
Seventeen years ago-South Africa celebrated democracy with the release of Nelson Mandela from prison after serving twenty-seven years behind bars on notations of treason and abidding to the then South African government...Our guests today will discuss the last nine years of the South African democracy and ways of improving standards in our father nation...Welcome guests...
Omar Abdulla: Welcome President Jacob Zuma, Helen Zille, Julius Malema and University guests Dr. Habib Omar and Sakeena Joosub...
All: 'Thank you,' for having us...!'
Omar Abdulla: It's good to have so many of today's 'nations head,' on one table and we have received ample requests from the community of South Africa to interview members from the South African community...'Thank You,' to our guests...My first question received from Alberta Knowles from Johannesburg has a question for President Zuma...How has your family coped with the election debate and are you happy with the results-released on May 20 by the IEC...
Julius Malema: I can answer that question for the President...We at the African National Congress expected more from the ANC voting public...In 2009, when voters went to the polls there were 79 parties partaking in the election...The election in 2011 we congressed to compete with 121 parties...Clearly, our notations have dropped as comparred with the previous elections...We have had disputes with other parties that have won seats in Parliament this year...I am confident that the cage of the elections has just began the brunt with many of the parties contesting...
President Jacob Zuma: The election debate organized by the 'Omar Abdulla Show,' is appreciated by members from the South African public...Thanks...I would like to start off by saying to fellow leaders and members from the community who are watching this broadcast...Thank You for your vote...Thank You to the ANC and members from parliament for choosing the party of choice...My answer to the question from Johannesburg is that my family were 'always with me...' I have twenty-three children and they were all holding my hand when results were released...I am also grateful to other parties for a 'free-'n-fair,' election...To the results we have received from the commission...We wish it was better...We have won...Amandla!
Sakeena Joosub: You have lost your stronghold in certain sectors in Gauteng, Limpopo and Kwazulu-Natal...What is your opinion on this Mr. Zuma??
President Jacob Zuma: One night I was playing cards with other leaders of parties from the public and we discussed ways of improving their sectors in government...Clearly, the ANC has a lot to do with almost 6.6 percent loss in voters from the last voting public...We have 'formed sub-mergers,' with coalitions governements in certain districts in the metropolitian...The reason we lost votes from the voting public is the joining of strong parties with second and third relation parties...As President of South Africa, I have agreed to a certain coalition government in the Western Cape with members of Parliament...
Omar: We will be back after this commercial break...

Omar Abdulla: Welcome back...Moving on, with the election results 'out-and-about,' the last nine years have been moving quite slowly for everyday South African's...My question to Dr. Habib Omar is that with the 'New South Africa,' at the helm, what can we do as South African's to better our communities, our country, our nation and our global community...
Dr Habib Omar: I think that half the work is already done by members from Parliament...I think that many of our village and urban workers complain too much about the lack of water, about the lack of sanitation, about the lack of energy and about the lack of Member intervention...My question posed back to President Jacob Zuma is that are residents happy with the work done by the council and what further assistance can we expect for South African's...
President Jacob Zuma: The work is perhaps quarterly done by government as discussed by Cabinet in March 2011...We are dissappointed with the polls by the ANC and lack of intervention by other parties is our priority...Every country has it's complaints by residents-but what we can do is save to ensure cleaner water, and a better power energy in South Africa...The complaints received in the streets can only be answered by themselves...Dr. Habib, I truly believe that South Africa can become a better country if residents 'put their hands in their pockets,' to ensure a better lifestyle opportunity...
Sakeena Joosub: In relation to improving standards for South African's what is governments plan to improve schooling standards and university standards for South African's and what investment is forecasted by government to instill a sense of 'deserved pride,' by Cabinet...
President Jacob Zuma: I will let the ANC -youth league president answer this question Miss. Joosub...!
Julius Malema: The schooling in South Africa cannot perhaps match the standards set-out by the American and British standards but we can simply see the change in our literacy numbers...Since the ANC was unbanned in 1990 the literacy numbers have went up by almost 40 percent...When it comes to education-the key to success towards the numbers is the parents...Children cannot 'learn and grow,' without the support of their parents...My question asked to the parents of South Africa is that are they doing enough to see the growth of their children...The government has increased spending from R4 bllion rand last year to R4.3 billion rand this year-forecasted in bidding of 'buying out,' private schools for the use of public use...
Dr. Habib Omar: In the field of schools and universities Mr. Malema I have noticed that parents leave the work to their teacher's chores...I have done research on people who study in our university and parents lack of intervention with their children is clearly out-dated...What can government do to excel the viewership with learners, and teachers to improve relationships with parents and their growth in examinations and tutorials in their work...
President Jacob Zuma: I can answer this question by the university lecturer...In order for parents to continue their work with their learners-a relationship must be built between mother, father and teacher...Teachers have under-went courses to excel relationships with parents...Cabinet has set meetings with the Minister of Education and other leaders including Nkosi Albert Luthli and The Department of Education...From the allocated R4.3 billion rand-one billion rand will be used to improve the standards of our libraries-but installing computers and internet connection for learners...We can do so much when it comes to education in South Africa and the rest is left to the 'parents and peers...'
Helen Zille: The accumalation of money by the White community of South Africa has helped them send their children to better schools and universities...The black and white sectors still experience a form of racial discrimination...This racial discrimination shows in the schooling sectors of South Africa...It is unfortunate that the desires experienced by the black community will only be realized when whites fully respect the black government...The black and white cultural mix in schools shows today and you can just notice it when the results of schools are released...Why are our black students achieving 40 percent pass marks when whites- some whites achieve beyond the distinction grades...
President Jacob Zuma: The reason blacks achieve lower grades than their counterparts is because English is the primary language taught in South Africa...Miss Zille-if you schooled in India and were taught in Hindu-would you not achieve the horrid results seen by black South African's...
Omar Abdulla: Are things really that bad when it comes to the results of black South African's Dr. Habib and what can the everyday black student learn from the white student to better their grades in school and university...??
Dr. Habib Omar: Schools in South Africa have under-went a massive change since Apartheid and leaders from the nation can only grow over time...Rome was not built in a day-nor will South Africa become a first world country without the support of the entire nation...Miss Zille is right about the lack of invention by the white community of South Africa and trust has to build towards a black government...What the 'normal,' student has to learn from the 'world-class student,' is the ability to persist...Your mind must be ready to receive the results forecasted...Very often I see students fail towards their grades set-out by their friends is because of the lack of 'personality intervention,' by parents, learners and teachers...
Omar Abdulla: Back in a moment...

Omar Abdulla: We are coming to the end of our episode and we have a request from Jessica Mildrad asking President of South Africa about ways of stemming juice in the South African community and what's planned by the Minister of Finance about interest rates, about inflation, about property taxes and about improving Gross Domestic Product...
President Jacob Zuma: Interest rates as forecasted by The South African Reserve Bank is in tune with inflation although normal food and gasoline prices are expected to be reduced by end year...Prime rate is expected to increase from 9 percent to 9.5 percent by end year and the expectation of two new bank openings in this year...The South African Reserve plans to stimulate the economy by reducing taxes for the average person to zero for earners below R4400.00...We expect from foreign forecasts that the rand will become stronger with weak data released from The United States...We expect property taxes to remain stable and Gross Domestic Product to increase by 0.4 percent in the last quarter of 2011...
Dr Habib Omar: Miss Zille, what is your opinion on the Gross Domestic Product and does the everyday person feel that they are contributing to both monetary and fiscal policy....??
Helen Zille: We are far superior than other leading nations in Africa and as a South African leader, every small desire that we focus on MUST be instilled by South African's...The GDP as estimated by Stats SA states that Whites contribute to 40 percent of the economy with the rest contributed by the racial groups...The focus of the South African economy is 'scewed,' as the rich are getting richer and the poor is getting poorer...My advice to everyday South African's is the first step when you receive your paycheck is donate 10 percent of income to a worthy cause...That way both the country and the country's residents are uplifted...
Sakeena Joosub: Mr Julius Malema Mr. Zuma stated that prime rate is to be increased by 0.5 percent by end year and the current inflation target of CPI is in line with 4.5 percent...Why raise interest rates and do you think that Minister Pravin Gordhan is doing a great job in Parliament...??
Julius Malema: What is fatal to Pravin Gordhan's success is his inability to focus on the South African Reserve Bank...He once said that we should print R3 trillion rand worth of currency in 2011...If we were to do this inflation could reach almost 6 percent...I think raising interest rates in South Africa will 'bring down,' property prices by 5 percent from nominal value and improve foreign investment...I have always had discussions with President Zuma to re-instate former Finance Minister Trevor Manuel...
Omar Abdulla: Personally, one could see inflation in line with interest rates but this could create 'credit doldrums,' for residents of the country...Mr. President what is your goal the next two years as President of South Africa and as a 'thumb sucking,' notation who would you see as the next President of South Africa??
President Jacob Zuma: My reign as President of South Africa will come to a close-unless I get re-elected by the voting public and the African National Congress...Many birds have whispered in my ears that the voting public will vote for Julius Malema-but we will have to wait and see...My ten years behind bars are being realized that as a true patriot of our nation we can only become Africa's leader...My goal as President of South Africa in the next two years is to reduce levels of crime, improve the 'daily needs,' of South Africans, reduce unemployment and stem business opportunities by creating jobs in the major cities...Money is the root of all evil in Parliament and we have been labelled as many things in the past...My notation is to remove the bad w o r d s spoken by members from the community and lead the country from the front...
Omar Abdulla: That's all we have today-See you tomorrow when we meet with Motivational Speaker Robin Banks and Anthony Robbins to inspire the many millions of viewers...Until tomorrow...!

Episode Two
Filmed July 12
Duration: 45 minutes
Welcome to another show of 'The Omar Abdulla Show,' coming to you live from our studio's in Pretoria...We would like to 'Thank,' our previous guests and welcome calls, emails, faxes and any communication to this site, to this broadcast, to this email and to this notification to you...Today we will be meeting with South African motivational speaker Robin Banks and speaking to International motivating speaker Anthony Robbin's via Skype from our offices of Footprints Filmworks...
Omar Abdulla: Guests, studio audiences and our fellow team...Good morning and hello!...I'd like to start off by asking simple questions to the three of you about life, about success, about 'goal setting,' and the power of visualization...Mr. Robin Banks who hails from Cape Town and delivers talks in the father nation to millions to students about the 'motivational epic,' of life is here today...We also have international speaker Mr. Anthony Robbins from Atlanta in the United States who is a mentor coach in The United States, South Africa, Brazil and Canada...
Robin Banks: Welcome, Shalom, Vanakkam, Salaams, Hello to all...I'd like to start off by saying that success happens to you and 'you,' happen to be success's friends...Very often life is a cycle of life that sometimes we choose, and sometimes we don't choose the results...In many ways the outcomes of every situation is chosen by you-consiously or subconciously...Life is simply put-Living in Full Energy...Our success depends on our thoughts, our words and our deeds...
Omar Abdulla: We also have a 'special guest,' who is joining us today in the form of Hindu special healer-Mr. Chnis Barnard from the Hindu Association of South Africa to give advice on 'spiritual healing...' Welcome to you and let us know what is in your heart, your mind, your spirit and your body...
Robin Banks: I'd like to add on to the notation about the thoughts, the words, and the deeds...These special forces WILL succumb into action by constant affirmation to oneself...Oneself is the MOST IMPORTANT element towards one's success...Success is seen in different forms-in the form of health, wealth and wisdom...Take yourself as an example...If you are struggling to gain financial freedom, emotional freedom, spiritual freedom or whatever goals you have set...That long list comes to an end today...
Mr. Chnis Barnard: I tend to agree with Mr. Banks, but have to add to his comments...Yes, success can be achieved and 'highligted,' in every way, but we have to put that effort into it...I have a daughter in school who wants to come out first on every opportunity but fails to achieve the results because 'she loves to sleep,' and does not put the effort in to achieve those A grade results...The answer is simple...If you are failing-you are not alone...Failure is a stepping stone towards success and failure is a trial that we must all go through to appreicate the success we will one day enjoy...
Anthony Robbins: The weather is awfully cold here in Atlanta this time of year...Thank you to the guests and viewers..I grew up with no money, no financial freedom and at the age of twenty-something I was living in a bachlor's flat with a wife and two daughters and no opportunities to excel in my business...I was in financial ruin of $786 000 dollars and failed at every attempt on life...I was constantly being plagued by my wife to achieve results that I could not manifest...One year later I achieved targets of earning almost a million dollars and moving into the castle our family once dreamt...How did I go from being a Zero to society to almost becoming one of the most talked-about speakers in The United States...??
Omar Abdulla: I am newly-married and sometimes I feel the pressures of the community and society as a whole too...What valueable advice do you have for our community, our society, our country and the 'global nation,' to rescue our thoughts from these limiting beliefs that we have or will have...??
Anthony Robbins: Money is a limiting belief on it's own...I have worked with leaders from Barack Obama to many millions of people who complain about their state of mind or whatever that holds them back...The key is simple...Welcome opportunities, welcome, 'new idea's,' welcome 'new thoughts,' and get-rid of old belief systems that once plagued our mind...We can all be financially secure with the agreement of letting go off the past mistakes...The key is forgive and 'let go...' We cannot watch our waste get flushed down the toilet...Let it go...If you are having difficultly-letting go of a past relationship, a past failure or a failure that has crept our mind-come to one of our seminars in The United States or do whatever it takes to erase the possibilities to repeat 'past mistakes...'
Robin Banks: I have a similiar story to yours...I was engaged to be married to the woman of my dreams and we decided to split-up...It so happened that I lived across her house and would often watch cars park at her house till the late hours of the night...I was only nineteen, but I was hurt by this because I felt that here was a woman that I truly loved and within weeks-cars were parked outside her house, and I felt that I was either not good enough or I did fail in some part of my romance...I later learnt that her father had bought her a new car and I was the fool in my thinking...When it comes to limiting beliefs we are often afraid to take the risks that will bear failure...I often say in speeches in the country-it's always good to plan and act again...We can promote and market idea's as best as we can if we have the power within ourself...I was never a dreamer in school and never went to university...What is important is that we respect our own 'desires and dreams,' and remember to 'fake it until you make it...'
Omar Abdulla: Interestings w o r d s you have to offer...But does it really work...I sometimes wonder who, what, when and 'how-to,' about certain goals I have set for myself and sometimes the results take-forever...How can we speed up our dreams and create our dreams into a reality...
Mr. Chnis Barnard: Omar- results, dreams, opportunities or whatever you have written down become a reality only on the focus of God...I was in India a while ago and I got in some talks with traditional leaders who taught me the art of mediation, the art of yoga and many art forms to still our mind for visualization...The importance of breathing in a 'certain style,' when performing yoga will be practised by the studio audience and guests at home-if they choose...If you don't know where you are going-that is where you going to go...Nowhere...This can be changed by being creative in what you choose out of life...If you are a woman-seeking a life partner, or a businessman choosing to excel in your business-or a sportsman to achieve greater trophies-or a mother willing to teach her chidren-or a father that chooses to grow his children up...Follow with notes of our lectures in South Africa that will be offered later in this show....
Anthony Robbin: You know, we often go through stages in our lives that nothing seems to go right...If we do a certain thing or put a certain idea across-we get put out...Try again...Nothing is lost through trying and remember that some friends are like diamonds some friends are like hyena's...They only there when the success is around and are not to be seen when you are at a loss...We must remember that whatever you see for yourself, your family, your country and your 'innermost-desires,' must first be written down, then visualized and trust me will become a reality...We must truly desire something from the pit of our stomachs to really achieve it...It's not only about the materialistic values of life...It's about finding the right partner, or investing in the right business or visiting the right country...I believe that our destiny is written for us by God-and we can always change his mind...For the better.
Omar Abdulla: We will be back after this commercial break....

Omar Abdulla: Welcome back-during the break we were talking a little about the experiences of life and why some people choose success and why failure happens to a-lot of us for no reason...To elaborate further-the floor is yours guests...
Anthony Robbins: I watched in one of your shows Mr. Abdulla that whatever we earn we should 'give away,' 10 percent of it for whatever cause...I cannot agree more...The successful businessman ALWAYS achieves more if he gives it away and I'd like to add to that statement...The importance of gratitude...In the Bible it clearly states the importance of gratitude...Always be thankful for what you have and even what you don't have...It will come to you in due course...On the subject of the holy Bible it clearly states that 'If Man has but the faith of a mustard seed-the universe and it's contents are his...' So- I would like to ask the audience...Where is your faith...??
Robin Banks: I was reading an interesting book by John Kehoe that states that we often DO NOT practise on the goals that we have set...We write it down and remains in our diary for the rest of the year...The action will follow if we persist on our idea's...Remember that no thought is worth entertaining unless the thought can bear you fruit...All the viewers at home-their goals are different and their achievements are different...We must find common ground to grow...You were talking earlier about sportsman who chooses to grow fast...A team cannot grow if one player is playing cricket whilst the other is playing football...Let your partners and team know that you on the same page...
Omar Abdulla: Let us just say that you are in a relationship woe with your partner and your partner does not agree with certain idea's and things that you are doing...What is your advice on relationships in business, in marriage, in life and with fellow friends...??
Mr. Chnis Barnard: I'd like to answer this question Omar-if I may...The most important relationship is with father and son, or mother and son, or father and daughter or mother and daughter because you are that relationship...Secondly, relationships get better over time with the finesse of style, with the ambiance of knowledge, with the scope of tomorrow and with the 'thrill of yesterday...' Marriages often fail because of lack of sex, lack of romance, lack of communication and lack of persistance...It's also an ego thing because one partner thinks the other is smaller-or the other way round...As Robin says-find common ground of growth...
Omar Abdulla: I'd like to talk a little about ego-because the ego is a powerful spiritual force that can motivate or destroy ones personality and one's inner focus...??
Anthony Robbins: The ego is the most powerful motivator because it has to do alot with ones 'balls of steel...' The ego also deals with competition in sports, competition in business, competition of fame or any form of competition...If used in the right way-the ego can be a powerful tool...We should also take note that in a relationship-the ego is a force that deals with 'smallness,' or 'bigness...' God does not know about these elements because we are all created in the likeness of God...No-man is superior than his friend because of his qualities...Wheather you are a Barack Obama or a plain jane living in our county...You are all equal in God's eyes...The reason God sent us holy prophets is to 'lend a hand,' to Mankind to guide him towards his straying beliefs...
Robin Banks: The reason one friend achieves more than the other is because of TIME, SPACE, MATTER and ENERGY...We can increase these four synergies by increasing our mental, physical and spiritual strenghth...I have courses in South Africa that help the individual to gain these tools in South Africa and soon to be launched internationally....
Omar Abdulla: You talk about time, space, matter and energy...Give us a glimpse what the course offers to better these results in our everyday lives...
Robin Banks: We have written goals, we have 'mind goals,' and we have goals that perhaps we don't share with our friends...The way to increase your time on this earth, or to increase the space of our properties or to create a stronger 'matter cycle,' or a way to increase working energy is by simply doing it...When I was about nine years old-my father always told me that the way to achieve anything is 'simply do it...' Be proactive...Take the steps today for a better tomorrow...Tomorrow is an illusion-not even the wisest wizard can tell you what the future holds...Have a plan, act, follow, lead and you shall cherish...Man is often denied his success because he has habits...Relationships fail because of habits...I am not saying that habits form destruction...If you keep on doing the same things, the same results will follow...Our courses in South Africa is about producing results and not more thoughts...We don't want a depressed life and in order to have a happy life we must be AWARE, AWAKE, ALIVE and ALERT!
Omar Abdulla: Back in a moment...!

Omar Abdulla: Rounding up our comments from our guests we have an email from Winston Charles from Polokwane who asks Robin Banks when is the next course in South Africa and valueable advice about business growth for future trends...??
Robin Banks: Course details can be viewed on our website or by calling 0861722657...We have a wide range of workshops in Western Cape, Limpopo, Gauteng and Eastern Cape...You would have to come to the one in Johannesburg because I am not coming all the way to Polokwane for you-unless you have a business organization...What I have found that really works to excel in ones business is risk...Take the change of tomorrow to reap today's returns...If if means buying a new computer, or hiring a new staff, or extending a home-loan or buying a new car for your business do it...The risk will pay off...I would also like to say that a company like Old Mutual took them 75 years to achieve a success of a multi-million rand business and more recently-Pick 'n Pay...A business will not give you it's cost price but it will give you it's selling price...Work smart and work even harder...I have found that team meetings with my staff every morning-does the trick...!
Mr. Chnis Barnard: I have to add to Robin's comments by saying that daily yoga and mediation works...If you cannot see the pictures in your mind as my friend Omar-use pictures from newspapers or websites to build a mental image...The images will form in your mind over time...The way Michael Jackson did it-it was simple...He saw himself on stage infront of millions of people-from the age of nine...And it builds from there...The knowledge and education is there...Just 'tap,' into your inner mind....
Anthony Robbins: I have dealt with Warren Buffet personally to empower his businesses and what I often find that creates success in his business is writing a personal letter to his staff team on a daily basis...I find that speaking, talking mean alot to a staff member...If you really want to see the success in your business and more than three times income in less than six months...Pick up the telephone and market your business...Put your business on the internet...Send 'birthday messages,' to your current clients...Or simply call them in your 'mind-workshop,' and speak to them...I have also found that people who are passed can help grow a business...In a religion book I was reading it states that marriage is half your religion...Grow your business with your partner as well...
Omar Abdulla: That's all we have for today...Join us tomorrow when we will be speaking to members affected by drugs and rehabilitation 'gurus,' to help your loved one off drugs, alcohol or any infected disease to deal with the trauma...Join us tomorrow for The 'Omar Abdulla,' Show produced by Footprints Filmworks...
