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.

I have a story for a news channel or newspaper regarding the IDC. We have made our submission to the Parliamentary Committee and a petition. Please comment or DM me. This is a fight I have been going through for 8 years; it could even go to court now. Thanks.

Ironically this app has done more to protect me from spam calls than the regulations that were meant to stop them, have done. But now they get investigated by the regulators.

The fanaticism and worship some of those Ad Hoc Committee members displayed toward Cat Matlala says everything about the erosion of ethics and values in this country. It exposes just how unserious and juvenile our politics have become. The fact that members of Parliament see nothing untoward with eagerly lining up to shake hands with hardened criminals is a damning indictment of the institutions they purport to uphold.

[𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐋𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐕𝐄] — 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐌𝐄𝐑 𝐄𝐗𝐗𝐀𝐑𝐎 𝐂𝐄𝐎 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐒 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄
As promised.
You will need your feet up for this one, and perhaps a favourite glass or cup of something comforting beside you. This is a lengthy one, 𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐋𝐘 𝐒𝐎. Because how else do you cover a highly decorated twenty-three-year career that ended with the same abruptness and humiliation often reserved for a junior teller accused of stealing from the till?
When Kemi Ajumobi saw how deliberate I was about uncovering what truly led to Dr Nombasa Tsengwa (Ph.D.)’s fall after decades of loyalty and leadership at a company she helped shape, she reached out to me, “The IWA Group 𝑤𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑙 ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦.” I was already deep in the work, so the answer was a resounding yes.
I open with these words:
𝐶𝑜𝑟𝑝𝑜𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑆𝑜𝑢𝑡ℎ 𝐴𝑓𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎 𝑚𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑑𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑝 𝑖𝑠 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒𝑑 𝑓𝑜𝑟 𝑎 𝑓𝑒𝑤, 𝑜𝑟 𝑎 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑖𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑑 𝑡𝑜 𝑎𝑙𝑙. 𝐷𝑟 𝑁𝑜𝑚𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑎 𝑇𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑤𝑎 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑛𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑞𝑢𝑖𝑒𝑡 𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑑. 𝑆ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑖𝑑 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑤ℎ𝑖𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑟 ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑤𝑎𝑦 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑜 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑒𝑟𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑝; 𝑠ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑙𝑎𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑑 𝑖𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒, 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣𝑖𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑚𝑎𝑑𝑒 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑠𝑖𝑡 𝑢𝑝 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑤ℎ𝑒𝑛 𝑠ℎ𝑒 𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑑 𝑎 𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑚.
When patterns repeat themselves across industries, across companies, and across women who have given everything to their professions, you begin to realise this is not coincidence...
Dr Tsengwa’s story struck a chord because it is not an isolated case. In every conversation I had, every account I reviewed, and every headline I re-read, one truth kept resurfacing: what happened to her could happen to almost any woman who has dared to lead differently.
And that is precisely why this story had to be told - fully, factually, and fearlessly.
Throughout her rise, Nombasa treated the CEO role as a calling. And those who worked with her describe her as fearless, a leader who demanded accountability and refused to play politics. Perhaps it was that very courage that made her vulnerable when the balance of power shifted.
Since the story went live, more women have privately reached out, each recounting eerily similar experiences of being victimised, undermined, and silenced.
Is this an isolated story, or are we confronting something much larger?
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨𝐩? We reached out to Dr Tsengwa, and to my surprise, she was keen to respond to Inspiring Woman Africa (IWA) Magazine’s questions herself.
𝐐: How did it feel to watch a career you built with such integrity and commitment questioned in a matter of weeks?
𝐍𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐚:The warning signs were there, but I was naive to believe that my track record would shield me...

I don't know everything #Ramaphosa learnt at school, but he sure learnt one lesson: Don't argue with a fool. People might not see the difference. #ovaloffice #Trump
