Bavuma has been a transformative Test captain, with 12 wins in 14 matches, four hundreds, a world championship mace, all stretched over three broken years. But he is still always, always chasing legitimacy and affirmation, in a way that is unique to cricket, but also unique to this man in this role in this sporting nation. First black middle order batsman. First black captain. How is this going to fall? How strong is that ice underfoot?

#OnThisDay in 1960 Nelson Mandela publicly burnt his pass book, which black South Africans were forced to carry during apartheid to control their movements. From that day on he never carried one again.

This creates a situation where those who come from money can self-fund (or from family/friends) until they are (proven). Those who don't come from money are then effectively shut out of the system or stay small. Then fewer businesses move from (unproven) to (proven).

[Karidas @karidas_]

There is a huge mismatch between what capital requires & what the majority of businesses look like in South Africa. Capital wants to fund only (proven) businesses but no one wants to fund (unproven) businesses.This leads to slow growth as small business tend to stay small.

[Karidas @karidas_]

Building a tech business in South Africa is incredibly tough. A lot of the incredible stories that we celebrate are anomalies - they are not the norm.

A lot still needs to be done. Especially when it comes to very early stage risk capital.
