brands
recognise
that
branding
is
a
continuum
-
in
tough
times
many
companies
cut
their
marketing
budgets,
but
this
is
when
strong
brands
get
going
and
launch
themselves
into
a
stronger
position
for
the
upturn.

at

opening
the
National
Seminar
on
the
Role
of
Parliament
in
the
Reconciliation
and
Institutional
Reform
Process

said
that
many
of
the
current
challenges
facing
the
country
particularly
those
contained
in
Agenda
Four
of
the
Serena
talks
would
be
comprehensively
addressed
through
a
new
constitution.
