@cjpraat Sketchy deal, paying R177m to add "AI" to the company...
just hire a competent CTO and and handful of quality senior engineers (SA has plenty of solid talent to chose from) and PPE would be "off to the races" at a fraction of the cost
A boy from Pretoria, South Africa, has become the world's first trillionaire, but with an American citizenship and an American portfolio.
His success is a mirror that reflects South Africa's absolute failure.
Elon Musk's historic milestone proves that wealth, progress, and monumental breakthroughs are created through merit, relentless innovation, and visionary execution.
They are not created through bureaucratic gatekeeping, red tape, and ideological obsession. South African politicians hate him because his mere existence exposes their profound failure to build anything of lasting value.
Elon Musk's story is the absolute opposite of the South African story.
Had the environment allowed it, he could have built SpaceX in South Africa. Decades ago, the country possessed a first world military space and missile infrastructure.
Instead of being nurtured into a global commercial aerospace hub, it was dismantled and collapsed under decades of ANC mismanagement, state capture, and political patronage.
We cannot even talk about Elon Musk freely investing his billions back into South Africa. Despite being born in Pretoria, race based economic policies and restrictive BEE ownership mandates have historically locked out global builders who refuse to bend to political dictation.
The South African story has become a tragic tale of what could have been, tainted by toxic governance, race politics, and destructive economics.
The sad part is that our country is sold out by the so called "intellectuals".
The Politicians, the Police & The Celebrities.
The ones they call "illiterates" are the ones protecting South Africa 🇿🇦.
@EasyEquities@albie_cilliers Liquidity is not the problem
The tech on the platform is the problem
a simple automation would allow a user to indicate how much of a stock they want to buy and the platform should automatically break that up into smaller transactions
@albie_cilliers@EasyEquities Agree, beyond ridiculous
a simple technical automation could create as many "small transactions" as needed to acquire shares using the liquidity available
Good evening,
Here's how the South African government should address the unemployment crisis:
1. Scrap the current national minimum wage. It’s a senseless policy.
2. Reduce the Labour Relations Act to less than 10 pages. It’s currently more than 200 pages.
3. Stop illegal immigration. It’s negatively affecting our labour markets.
4. End BEE and other costly regulations.
5. Slash taxes! South Africa is one of the countries with a very high tax burden in emerging markets.
6. Collaborate with the private sector to invest in investable entrepreneurs. The skin colour of entrepreneurs doesn’t matter.
7. Invest in globally competitive skills development programs.
You agree with these recommendations? #economy #politics #markets
@minenhle_m10614@McKay_Dingis024 How sure are you when you say that?
I can think of a few ways it could be legal:
- Foreigner with permanent residency can drive legally
- Some work permit/refugee/asylum are legally issued (can you blame them for being able to get the permit legally? Gov to blame)
@Msuthukazzi@McKay_Dingis024 If you can prove that then yes by all means - falls into the category of being in SA illegally imo.
Many came here legally and are working to provide same as anyone else, and they deserve the same protections of the law.
@minenhle_m10614@McKay_Dingis024 I don't disagree with the sentiment, but anyone in SA legally has every right to work as the next person
If they are here legally, you're going after the wrong person.
Our government should be help accountable for failing our citizens.
@McKay_Dingis024 That is not on them. You're going after the wrong person.
That is something we should be holding our government accountable for.
Foreigners here legally deserve full protection of the law
We're offering free trials and early-bird pricing to the first 10 businesses, and we're specifically looking for businesses that want to grow and are willing to share feedback. We are starting in the greater Cape Town region.
If that sounds relevant, I want to speak to you.
We're currently onboarding a small group of pilot businesses onto MainStreet OS — a new platform designed to provide the digital tools that are usually out of reach or neglected by operators.
We get it - providing a good service leaves little space to cobble together these tools
No marketing agency. No classifieds and no paying for unproven leads. No juggling multiple apps. One platform that handles your customer journey from first contact to paid invoice.
The customer remains yours. We just give you the tools to serve them REALLY well
The problem starts when you think South Africans are angry at other black Africans. You choose to ignore that South Africans are angry at the illegality happening in their country.
I’m African and in South Africa and no one harassing me and my family.
Why are you advocating for African criminals?
This actually made me realise that Politics have been dividing the Citizens of South Africa.🇿🇦
Wev been viewing ourselves as enemies whereas we are the last defence of this Country- especially when Politics have failed Citizens.
Patriots must organise themselves and each party that will govern must get approval from the United Patriotic Citizens themselves 🇿🇦
