*Fellow Electronic Dance Music (EDM) community of SA, we need your help* ā¤ļø

Hi all, weā€™re needing a decent lawyer familiar and experienced in court matters pertaining to upholding the constitution, civil, and political rights.

We have a very clear idea of the next steps and have the ground work and research together to argue a case.

We now need a lawyer within the community to possibly lend us some probono hours (we have an NPO) to trim the fat off our jibberish and build a robust, non-confusing, clear cut, and bomb proof case to stop municipalities using loopholes in the law to effectively not grant licenses to reputable organizers based on subjective and religious opinions.

*Are you a lawyer that can help us?or do you know of someone, please get them in touch with me via email [email protected] or here:* https://www.betastate.co.za/experiences/contact-us

Will open up a much greater market for us in terms of outdoor farmland venues, and make the legal side of things efficient.

Weā€™d like to work with municipalities and grow the market in a professional and legal manner, we cannot grow if new possible event organizers canā€™t get licenses to do their first events legally, no brainer.

In order for us to grow our market substantially post-covid to accelerate the repair work being done to recover from the damage of the covid era, we must work together to clear up legal inefficiency to make business dealings smootheršŸ¤

Thanks in advance
Gervais, BetaState CEO

Call me uncle chef baby hahahahahaha šŸ¤Œ
In about a month or so weā€™ll be welcoming the newest member to our crew from the Haveman family, and itā€™s going to be a boy hahahaha!
Like the north didnā€™t have enough on its hands with just us aroundā€¦. Now weā€™re all planning on having kids šŸ˜‚ā¤ļø
But on a serious note, Iā€™m continually having to pinch myselfā€¦ each day I wake up and get to thank the universe for blessing me and those I care for with unconditional love, friendship, a roof over our heads, and the ability to face a new day of challenges that we get the privilege to fu***ng smash out the park.
As we grow older our challenges change, from getting into fights with other peeps at house parties, mourning the death of a friend, paying taxes (lol), getting financially stable, or raising a kidā€¦ thereā€™s one sure as s**t thing that hasnā€™t changed, and thatā€™s us facing these challenges together.ā¤ļø
People told me getting old sucks, but me personally, Iā€™m loving earlier sleeps and cannot wait for when I get to sit on a rocker chair telling all our kids and grandkids the wonderful and fu**ed up stories weā€™ve all gotten to write togetheršŸ˜‚šŸ‘Œ
Often I get lost behind my desk and in this screen, as those who know me, know I always got some s**t going on while I try and leave my mark on this world before I leave it, however, every now and then I get to see my matesā€¦ my familyā€¦ my ride or diesā€¦ or even my cats hahahaha, and once again the penny drops and the flurry of emotion about how much I love all these fu***rs comes rushing back, but more importantly, I stop thinking about what work I got to do, and start thinking what I want to do for these individualsā€” and I think thatā€™s far more important and magical compared to crossing off to doā€™s on a list hahaha.
So jah, I guess my message isā€¦ if youā€™re feeling a little blue, take a breath and go see some loved onesā€¦ or s**tā€¦ go rub your cats or dogs or hamstersā€¦ if you donā€™t have, go rub your neighbors šŸ˜‚
Count your blessings (if you have the privilege to have a phone, internet, electricity, and the ability to follow mešŸ˜œā€¦ trust me, youā€™re blessed!) and have a fantastic Sunday!šŸŽ‰
With love, Chefā¤ļø

One of the biggest triumphs I get to celebrate this year.
Getting personal with who the f**k I am, what I am worth, and what isnā€™t worth my attention and energy.
Donā€™t forget that this life is yours, this day is yours, your time is yours, your energy is yours, your focus is yours.
Only you have the ability and choice of what to do with it, make it count and keep slayingšŸ”„šŸ¤Œ

Missing that summer sun, making memories with the best of people, forging new friendships with strangers, and rediscovering my passion for curating some of the most memorable experiences across the country with some of the most passionate and creative minds the country has to offerā¤ļø
Winter reconciliation is going well and I cannot wait to begin sharing all the exciting things weā€™re getting up to behind the scenes!
Apologies for going M.I.A over the past year, but the break from the rat race and social game was much needed hahaha
Stay tuned, love chefā¤ļø

Swapped out weekly hangovers, short lived dopamine hits, and ego amplificationā€¦ for walks on the beach, deep meaningful conversations, spending time with people Iā€™d lay my life down for, and curating a desired future with a team that shares the same passion as me.

Iā€™m never going back ā¤ļø

Swinging my leg over the riders seat again this past weekend spending some time with my pops for his birthdayšŸ˜ˆšŸ¤˜šŸ”„
So on that note happy birthday to Shorty, the myth and the legend himself.
From racing horses and taking me every morning to the stables before school, walks and runs out in no-man areas where thereā€™s nothing but nature, our dogs, and ourselves.
Getting us involved with power boat and jet ski racing adventures, taking us camping, 4x4ā€™ng in our 2x4, traveling the whole of SA, showing me how to be radically independent in my entrepreneurial adventures, and forcing me to explore areas that take me out my comfort zone.
You have formed an unshakable belief within me that shatters any doubts of what is possible when you put your mind to it along with building my courage to go for anything that interests me no matter how slight, and most importantly, to put excuses aside and get it done above all else.
For these life lessons and more, I am truly grateful, and forever - a part of you will live on within me through these aspects of my personality that allows me to live a life of adventure, risk, and fulfillment.
So hereā€™s to you pops, may a smile be planted on your face permanently, your laughs continue to fill rooms, and your risk taking spirit have me and the family on edge for years to come haha.
Stay legendary, keep doing that which fulfills you, and keep inspiring others to do the samešŸ»
Happy 66th birthday ā¤ļøšŸ¤Œ

Today we celebrate my little-big-older-but-not-by-much sister! ā¤ļø

I am super proud of the giant leaps youā€™ve made over the past few years, from completing your degree, to forging your career path in the digital sphere, to taking me out to Keonemusiek (I know right, someone taking me out instead dog taking them out hahaha), to heading to your first Afrikaburn today!
I cannot wait to hear all the stories upon your return!
Happy birthday my dear sister, the world is your oyster ā¤ļø

On that wholesome keep your heart full, head down, grind hard, fists up, take over the worldā€¦ while hiding away from it type s**t of latešŸ’Ŗ
After years of building my personal brand up by hype squadding myself and what Iā€™ve been up toā€¦ Iā€™m sure youā€™ve noticed Iā€™ve taken a serious hibiscus from those efforts as I began the long haul to building my companies brand and operations ā€”- and to be honest ā€”- the break from that social recognition addiction has brought back in to focus all the juicy wholesome parts of my life that normally I wouldnā€™t of shared because it wasnā€™t the projected brand image I wanted to portray.
You know, the bulls**t self image we try and project on the world via our social accounts to somehow organize ourselves higher up on the social food chain šŸ˜‚
Something Iā€™m sure many of us can relate to, because Iā€™m pretty sure Iā€™m not the only one getting tired of working for an algorithm thatā€™s already profiting off our data in the first place hahaha, a thought I think that crosses the minds of individuals like me who often post due to the requirement to postā€¦ rather than wanting to post, as the algorithm favors itšŸ˜‚
With a couple months separating me from my 30ā€™s , Iā€™ve been lulling over who I am, who I want to be , whatā€™s the legacy and message I wish to leave behind , and what value do I have to offer to my audience beyond being a vibey, hard working bloke? šŸ˜‚
And to be honest, I really donā€™t know what to tell you guys lately, but one thing I do know for sure, is that for now, Iā€™m making peace with the process of rediscovering my self identity ā¤ļø
So I guess today, my message is for those who are growing tired of these social strategy games playing out on these networks.
To you I say, be bold, go a-wall for a while, try new experiences and although the itch to capture, document, edit, create inspirational message, and share comes along at every waking moment - just soaking it in is great too, and requires far less effortšŸ˜‚
And yeah, accept that you wonā€™t be the internet sensation you wish to portray and realize that no one has dreams about what dope posts they made, they dream about their experiences, so make those moments countā¤ļø

Today we celebrate 2 years to the day since the formation of the first internal brand management teamšŸ¤šŸ”„

Now 4 members strong with its next 3 coming onboard over the next few months which will expand our operational cadence due to allowing for specialized roles in dedicated departments, as well as a much over due PA for myself šŸ˜‚ā¤ļø

Thank you all for being part of this journey, we may not be perfect, but damnā€¦. Weā€™re really good at what we došŸ˜‚šŸ‘Œ

6 months in and hitting one milestone after the next since restraining myself from my old habitsā¤ļø
Yeah it comes with its cons - having mad FOMO seeing all my peeps out living their best lives hahaha - however - seeing these professional and financial gains paying their dividends has me motivated to stay this course, for now lolšŸ˜‚
The next challenge is making it through the winter cabinet fever in one piece hahaha.
Next missions that Iā€™ll be heading to for some much needed serotonin kicks: //
See you there ā¤ļø

Your boy is back home after almost losing functionality of his right hand šŸ˜‚šŸ˜ˆ
Back behind the control room I can resume the expansion push of the brand into JHB which has bumped our project load on the OTG product offering to 10 live projects between now and May the 4th, huge win with plenty more projects being loaded up after our trial projects kick off, huge shout out to , .promotion and for the support weā€™ve received during this move šŸ¤Œ
In other news we are officially operating in Dubai once again with the .ae team and have reached the 50% mark of our brand management phase 2 growth plan - massive round of applause to , .local.cat , and for achieving this 2 months into the growth campaign šŸ’ŖšŸ”„
Looking forward to having a full recovery of my hand operation over the next few months and entering into some exciting conversations about the next financial year with our many partners!
Big love to all those rooting for us and sending wishes while I was in hospital, we see you! šŸ”„
Will provide more updates when I get the chance to catch a breath over the next few weeks, stay gold, stay true - but most importantly, remember to stay loyal to yourself and donā€™t let fakers try catch a free ride on your momentum wave šŸ¤˜

And thatā€™s a wrap for Bazique 2024ā¤ļø
350+ tickets sold, a successful launch of our art student empowerment program, and the first physical art installation weā€™ve done for one of our clients!
Was super chuffed to see so many peeps enjoying our cuddle puddle pit next to the absolutely heaving tropical roast stage hahaha, looking forward to expanding on the installation for 2025!
As a note on the FESTIE itself, absolutely everything ran as smooth as silk! The artists brought their A-game, the collab brands really outdid their stage designs, the artists installations this year were FANTASTIC, and the crowd that came through was vibey as heck haha
This was my first multi-day fest in over a year (jah, work was that crazyšŸ˜‚) and realizing that although I may be in my prime professionally, I most definitely am not in my prime physically lol - energy bars, berocco, bioplus and Powerade just doesnā€™t take me as far as it used to šŸ˜‚ā˜ ļø
Time to get back to it, Team MEEEEOWSAT OUTāœŒļø
PS- Hopefully may do something for my birthday at Halo this weekend - will let you peeps knowā¤ļø

Creeping out the bat cave for a spot of fun in the sun with the mates again was well worth it!šŸ‘

After months of being bunkered up and grinding away, getting out for a Sunday Funday was a little harder on the calves than expected haha, no wonder I was so fit and healthy in my prime rave years lolšŸƒ

While suffering on this fine Monday with some mild dehydration - I can honestly say, I missed this s**tšŸ˜‚ā¤ļø

Seeing so many familiar faces, making new friends, dabbling in some good old human connection, and spraying strangers with water has revitalized my sense purpose funny enough haha, and although being behind the desk all the time takes away from my ability to do this more often - I at least now can tell myself that the sacrifices that Iā€™m making now will earn me more of this in years to comešŸ‘

Special shout out to the crew:
- Mission Control
- Media Operations
- Team North Star
- Glam Queen
- Bar Es**rt Servicesbear - Banter boy
- Lost and found hero šŸ¤£
- Converted by the hose pipe šŸ˜‚
Travis - Security and Safety Manager
