Bridgette Radebe (née Motsepe) is a South African businesswoman of Tswana descent and the sister of South African businessman Patrice Motsepe and First Lady of South Africa Tshepo Motsepe.

Career

She was born on 26 February 1960.^[1] Radebe started out as a common miner in the 1980s; managing individual shaft mining operations and producing materials for the larger mine operations in South Africa while working under a contract.^[2] She started Mmakau Mining; a mining firm which initiates explorations and helps to produce platinum, gold, and chrome.^[2]

Radebe is the President of the South African Mining Development Association and her husband was South Africa's Minister in the Presidency Jeff Radebe.^[2] She is also the member of the New Africa Mining Fund and serves on the Sappi Board.^[1]^[3] Bridgette has criticized the "capitalist mining model" because "it takes land to exploit the materials, the exports create ghost towns, and jobs go overseas.^[4]" When South Africa was re-created 83% of the natural resources belonged to the racial minority (white people). Today, 91% of the same resources are owned by corporate monopolies.^[4] She suggests three solutions to solve the problem: 1) complete nationalization of all mining operations, 2) a state buyout of the mining operations of dwindling profitability in the name of black empowerment, 3) a co-operation movement between public and private sectors over the running of South Africa's mines.^[4]

Radebe received an "International Businessperson of the Year Award" in May 2008 by the Global Foundation for Democracy.^[1] This award recognizes businesspeople who have made a difference in the world of changing political and environmental landscapes.^[1]

On 1–2 July 2011, Radebe played an assisting role in the wedding ceremony of Prince Albert II of Monaco and the former Charlene Wittstock.^[1]

In 2019, Radebe was appointed as member of the BRICS Business Council.

Frédéric Desmons

Frédéric Desmons Frédéric Desmons (1832 in Brignon, Gard – 1910) was a French Calvinist pastor and freemason who persuaded the Grand Orient de France in a vote to remove the term of the Great Architect of the Universe from their Constitution.[1] This precipitated a split with the United Grand Lodge of England and the birth of liberal or Latin Freemasonry.[2] He studied in Nîmes and then went on to study theology in Geneva, the stronghold of Calvinism.[3] Upon hi...

Numerical aperture

Characteristic of an optical system The numerical aperture with respect to a point P depends on the half-angle, θ1, of the maximum cone of light that can enter or exit the lens and the ambient index of refraction. As a pencil of light goes through a flat plane of glass, its half-angle changes to θ2. Due to Snell's law, the numerical aperture remains the same: NA = n1 sin θ1 = n2 sin θ2. In optics, the numerical aperture (NA) of an optical system is a dimensionless number that ...
