I just built what could be South Africa's first AI-powered ridesharing app.
I'm just a guy dedicated to building something we can proudly call our own, a platform designed for South Africans, by South Africans.
Try my app on android @hikeappsa retweet and share
Omg you guys..I didn't know that people thought I was clever;I don't even think that of myself..I was just doing something I loved and enjoy.Thanks for the ❤️
Moreover,I choose my most recent photo where I thought I ate;I didn't know that that it makes me look like a nurd 😭😭
Capitec listed at around R2 in 2002.
The vibe at the time: that's not a bank, that's a mashonisa that got a logo. Purple branding. Mall location. Serving people who couldn't get through the door at the "real" banks.
FNB wasn't worried. Absa wasn't worried. Standard Bank wasn't worried.
Because to them, and honestly to most of us watching, Capitec's customers weren't the right kind of customers.
Turns out there's no such thing.
There were 20 million people in South Africa who needed a bank and kept getting told no. Capitec said yes. Simple products. No minimum balance. Fees that didn't punish you for being poor.
The branch was always packed. We saw the queue every weekend. We assumed that meant something was wrong.
It meant something was very right.
R1,000 at R2 is now R2.1 million.
The bank we dismissed as a township loan shop became one of the most valuable companies on the JSE.
We didn't miss insider information. We missed the queue at the mall.
It is rare to see Black female PhDs in Pure Mathematics, making this historic & inspiring.

Last week I saw a post where someone was breaking down their loses. This person had aimed to buy a taxi(Honda Fit). I would like everyone to do this to measure their choices.😬Eventually you will realize that you’re not really making money but losing more. Gambling is for the elite, it’s not a get richer scheme. 😬If you don’t have extra cash to spare for gambling, QUIT!
ICE officers stopped by our farm yesterday.
“We need to inspect your property for illegal aliens,” one of them said.
I replied, “Alright, but whatever you do, don’t go into that field over there.”
The officer in charge exploded.
“Mister, I have the authority of the federal government behind me!” he barked, reaching into his back pocket. He yanked out a badge and shoved it in my face. “See this fucking badge? This badge means I can go wherever I want on ANY land. No questions asked, no answers given. Am I clear? Do you understand?”
I nodded politely and said, “Be my guest.” Then I went back to my chores.
About ten minutes later, I heard screaming.
I looked up and saw six ICE agents running for their lives, being chased by my big, mean, old bull.
And with every step, that bull was closing in fast.
It looked like they were about to get gored for sure.
So I dropped my tools, ran over to the fence, and shouted at the top of my lungs:
“YOUR BADGE! SHOW HIM YOUR FUCKING BADGE!”
