PLEASE REPOST:
I built South Africa's first black-owned electric vehicle company.
I have deployed 70+ EVs with Blue Chip Companies, Local SMEs and exported to the UAE.
I have invested R9.5 million of my own money over 10 years.
The IDC has given me R0.
They gave a white-owned competitor R69.9 million.
Thread. 🧵

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.

Employers are being warned that financially stressed staff show reduced productivity and focus, creating operational risks for businesses.
