My name is Frans Minnaar. I have been born in 1968. My interest (and specialities) are Governance, Government, Municipalities, Management and Enterprise Risks.
I have a Ph. D degree from the University of the Free State (UFS) (2004), in Public Administration and Management.
From February 1994 to end of January 2003, I have worked as a public servant, from 2003 to 2024 as a management consultant, and from 1996 to 2016 as a part-time university lecturer at the UFS; including facilitating multiple training sessions to working adults (primarily in the public sector).
I have written two academic books, which were published by Van Schaik publishers.
Frans Minnaar is a YouTuber, Blogger, Activist, Analyst and Advisor. I analyse Current Affairs (including politics, economy, society and legal conditions). I also scrutinises the governance and administration of government institutions and municipalities. The results of such analyses are used to identify governance and enterprise risks.
Frans writes blog posts and develops YouTube videos about the results of his analyses, and about his opinions. I advise individuals, communities and business about strategies to combat the risks emanating from the turbulent environment in which South Africans and the enterprises operating in its environment function.
