Yesterday I told you how the @IDCSouthAfrica gave me R0 over 8 years while giving R69.9m to a white-owned competitor.
That thread reached hundreds of thousands of people.
But the IDC is not the only institution that failed Green Scooter. The DTIC watched. Ministers were informed. Nobody moved.

@Gullitie @sidonyn @ddaexpress@Mothematiks Okay, argue with proof then. I showed why I think the way I do, show me why you say so then maybe I’ll have a different view.
@sidonyn @Gullitie@ddaexpress@Mothematiks I get you fully, I was just justifying the price so that you understand why it would cost that much. Because I wanted to highlight that Vodacom can’t charge interest on a cellphone contract, “UNLESS “you miss payments or pay late. We can say it’s similar to your PayjustNow
@sidonyn @Gullitie@ddaexpress@Mothematiks Lol but in a way it’s the same mos, whether you pay it off now or bit by bit, it’s not like it’s incurring a crazy amount of interest or something, both parties at the end of the day will end up paying the same R64k and almost similar amount in data depending on your usage.
@sidonyn @Gullitie@ddaexpress@Mothematiks okay lets argue with facts, I went to check what you get for the deal, 6GB is R99 and 250min cost R250 via the Nedbank app because I can’t find how much you can get them for via Vodacom,maybe it may be less. So the contract is actually cheaper. Come with your research let’s see
@sidonyn @Gullitie@ddaexpress@Mothematiks Exactly 🙂↕️. Then this point you made right now brings us back to my point saying that a 2k contract makes sense when I’m getting the phone , minutes and data included. It means I can afford that and I actually prefer that than paying cash.🫱🏽🫲🏾
@sidonyn @ddaexpress@Gullitie@Mothematiks Which is good but in this example you posted a phone that costs around 64k so I’m breaking it down on why the contract cost 2k.
@sidonyn @ddaexpress@Gullitie@Mothematiks But the phone costs R64k cash. So divide that by 36 months you’ll pay around R1777 for the device only, then the extra R321 is it not for the data and minutes you get? I don’t know for you but for me the contract makes sense 🤷🏾♂️

@Absolut_Sabs I went to test drive this beaut & came back disappointed because of the gearbox😢 but it’s a CVT not AMT gearbox. I guess with all the nice things you get from this car Toyota had to cut corners somewhere.
