“IMAGINE THE POTENTIAL IF UBUNTU’S SUNLIGHT WERE TO BE EMBRACED AS A VITAL PART OF THE AFRICAN RENAISSANCE ... OR EVEN AS AFRICA’S CONTRIBUTION TO HELP A DIVIDED, FRAGMENTED WORLD”
BARBARA NUSSBAUM
One such project is Capricorn, a product designed to address the pressing global problem of access to potable water. Water is finite resource and access to supply is shrinking at an alarming rate. Expert opinion projects that in South Africa we will be reduced to just 30% of currently available resources by 2025.
A prime cause of the problem relates to an inability to effectively address the issue of sewage and wastewater management. Infrastructure is generally poorly maintained and inadequate to address the world’s constantly growing demand.
Using ubuntu and the Power of the Crowd, we
are in the process of developing the Capricorn Wastewater Treatment System to:
• Offer the world’s pre-eminent multi-purpose micro-to-macro sewage treatment system
• Provide a product that is 100% energy-efficient and self-sustaining, an eco-friendly solution with delivery standards far in excess of international norms that leaves no carbon footprint;
• Present a high-tech, state-of-the-art ‘green’ product that wins design awards in every category from aesthetics to performance;
• Innovate ground-breaking new technologies that provide better, more efficient and ecologically sound answers, including innovative new pump and aeration technologies;

• Manage impending risk via robust high-tech SENSORICA sensors, and telemetry designed to manage the process and highlight potential dangers before they physically manifest;
• Utilise our global network of independent marketers, distributors and installers to define and dominate a critical global market within a three year time-frame.
Capricorn, as a collaborative business venture under the SENSORICA ‘umbrella’ where all who participate are granted a stake in the venture and a share in the profits, benefitting in direct proportion to the value of their contribution (in general alignment with SENSORICA’s model but with some minor modifications). The Capricorn business model is an inclusive and democratic one.
The Internet, social networking and our ability to tune into Wisdom of the Crowd on a global scale has enabled radical advances in technology. Extreme manufacturing has massively reduced the time it takes to get a concept to market. Revolutionary new sales and marketing methods will render conventional wisdom obsolete. Capricorn, along with SENSORICA’s other
ground-breaking collaborative initiatives are well positioned to lead product innovation in our sector and beyond.
Ubuntu, and the Power of the Crowd, is changing
the shape of business. We believe that things will never be quite the same again!
