If you earn R25 000 a month in South Africa, you're in the top 20% of all earners.

R50 000 puts you in the top 5%.

Most people reading this have no idea where they actually stand.

Here's what South Africans really earn 🧵

A business will test your character long before it rewards your effort.

[Business Insider Africa @BusInsiderSSA]

Johann Rupert has been funding the Khaya Lam land reform programme, enabling over 24,000 South Africans🇿🇦 to obtain legal ownership of their homes.

Khaya Lam, run by the Free Market Foundation since 2010, helps township residents convert municipal leaseholds into freehold ownership by covering legal costs.

Rupert, with a net worth of $10.2 billion, is the programme’s largest donor, especially accelerating progress since a major donation in 2019.

Title deeds allow beneficiaries to sell, inherit, or use their property as collateral, creating a pathway to wealth generation.

That means your original R10,000 became 10.7× larger over that period.

The Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) worked out to be 10.4% per year. (Excluding any dividends).

The interesting part isn’t that returns were positive every year (they weren’t). It’s that staying invested through the down years is what allowed compounding to do the heavy lifting over time.

And if you didn’t sell, you weren’t taxed, now compare this to inflation linked bonds.

[MR. HiMSELF @pushinM15]

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.
