Read his story below as shared on LinkedIn:
Let me tell you a Story!!!
When my parents divorced in 1990 at the age of 2, we moved to Joburg with my single and jobless mother.
We’ve been staying in an informal settlement for 30 Years, only moved out through the Success of Drip.
I’ve been through hell, I’ve been through the long days of hunger. Even begging for food at Neighbours houses… All the 30 Years we didn’t have electricity and they still don’t have it at our informal settlement to this day.
Life was tough, very tough, Due to lack of shoes and Clothes, i made my own. The only positive thing i could ever consume in the Crime and Joburg’s Murder capital streets of Ivory Park was just dreams. I created a whole future and life in my head. I had nothing to lose….
This horse you’re betting on here is very hungry. And losing is not an option…
I failed in all my attempts in business for 16 Years..
Ladies and Gents, this Movie I’m telling you, has played in my head for many many years.
Now, it so happens that it’s happening in Real Life too…
DREAMS DO COME TRUE!!!!!
