I got a call from Government, they were asking who can we connect with to disburse grant money to local spaza Shops ? I said you are talking to him 🍾 A visionary is someone who future cast to 5 - 10 years and come back to start working today in preparation. AnalyticsX

This is an inspiring vision! Empowering local spaza shops through grant support isn’t just about immediate funding; it’s about laying down the foundation for long-term growth, local job creation, and sustainable communities. Visionaries like yourself understand that by planting these seeds today, we’re investing in a more resilient, self-sustaining economy for years to come. Imagine the ripple effect when each spaza shop grows from a single entrepreneurial venture into a community anchor. Count me in as a believer in this vision—cheers to creating an ecosystem where local businesses thrive and drive our future!

Great vision but Big no no with the high crime rate in townships spaza shops will get targeted easily. Abantu bazofa literally, already spaza shops are getting targeted especially after long weekends and during festive seasons.

This vision will create a paradigm shift towards an inclusive economy. This will be real economic participation. However, as brilliant the idea is, first regulation of the township economy in general, and spaza shops in particular will create a fertile ground for your vision to blossom. There is definitely a lot still of ground work to be covered. Well done!

A year or two ago you had an interview and you were asked "why don''t you help government with solutions" and you indicated that the solutions are there, government does not want the help. I am glad someone in Government realised they need all the help they can to run effectively and efficiently. We will be eagerly watching the roll out of this exciting venture.
