Steve Jobs once said that ‘if you look closely, most overnight successes took a long time.’ It is valid for the most successful million-dollar businesses in the market today. There is a back story of years of struggle and endless effort that rarely comes out. However, that shouldn’t stop you f...

True talk:

As we speak you are buying a car called Tata or Peugeot without complaint. And you buy it unaware & not
concerned with where the component parts are manufactured.

As we speak you are buying appliances made under 3rd party contract manufacturer (agreements some retailers have with manufacturers in China or Vietnam to produce their private label) from retailers across South Africa without complaint.

As we speak you are using a phone to read this message. That phone was probably made in China but branded under a US, African or EU name.

To think that a start-up entrepreneur who probably has no long-term funding or equity capital, in the southernmost tip of Africa can singlehandedly reverse globalisation & manufacturer his own appliances here without being out-priced in the marketplace is peak of hypocrisy.

Those criticising this young man are the same ones complaining about MaXhosa or Rich Mnisi prices. Clearly not concerned with marginal cost and economies of scale as a driver of prices.
They are the same ones attacking Bathu by implying that Theo doesn’t own that business. They are the same ones attacking Drip for its latest range.

Start a business they say.
But what they really mean is start something small, keep it small & charge the cheapest prices.

When a young entrepreneur launched his own brand in electronics & the woke-social-media-soldiers whose only preoccupation is destroying the dreams of others are busy with exactly that, critiquing & destroying.

They clothe their jealousy & superficial understanding of complex issues with salad dressing of being woke. Like they do with everything they don’t understand, the simply label this man a “scam”.

We must be one of a few countries in the world where people label something they don’t understand “a scam”. Instead of being curious and learning, this league of judges scolds, ridicules and character assassinates innovators hiding their malevolence under the cloak of revolutionary thinking.

And when the thing they labelled scam succeeds, then are the first to shout “give back!”.

This mindset is sick. It’s dangerous. It’s a jealousy fueled range posing as wokeness. It’s the peak of hypocrisy.

I am buying my Zuluish kettle and shipping it to my new home.

To every critic: you are the problem.

You lack understanding & are too busy lining to attack to ask for clarification.

Japan imitated the US until it built it’s own manufacturing capacity to be competitive.
China copied Japan & the US until it developed its own manufacturing prowess.
Vietnam has been copying China for the past decade & is now a global powerhouse in manufacturing.

This is how globalisation works. Imitate what works until you can compete.

Entrepreneurs don’t fix global supply chain. They have to leverage them to build their businesses.

Some will read this and comment “yoh. This English is too what what”.

Forget the English. Argue me on the reasoning.

Yandisa Zulu. Bless you mjita.

Say a prayer for everybody that is suffering under this new wave of COVID.

Last week we lost the incredible .granger

Since then, I know of 6 other people I personally know who have succumbed to this dreadful virus.

In my mind, Our government have really failed us. They have failed every single citizen who is suffering. They have hailed every single business that has closed. They have failed every single home that lost a mom, dad, son, daughter, aunt or uncle.

They have failed to build sufficient capacity for the state to treat those who are ill or those who need help.
They have dismally failed to secure enough vaccines for the population.
They have failed to provide a stimulus package to assist ailing businesses. Even the president has admitted to this.

In other parts of the world, even for countries poorer than ours, they have secured vaccines and supported businesses.

Frankly, they should be held criminally liable for their negligence.

But for now, family, pray!

Pray for those most affected.
Pray for those who’ve lost hope.
Pray for those who are currently ill & lying in overcrowded ICU beds.

Pray.
