    As a guy that completed basic education in the rural areas, I'm learning how much of a disadvantage it was to be educated there. Almost all the guys that make it in a big way have a good primary/high school as a foundation.

      Sadly this is true....good education goes hand in hand with good bursaries, exposure good sports and coaches, exposure to people who could be good connections in the future.

      What do you mean? if you look at a lot successful black business owners at a JSE level come from rural and township schools. Sizwe Nxasana, Nolitha Fakude, Mteto Nyathi. The people i do business with now I mostly met in varsity, worked with, play soccer with etc. Network is everywhere brother, make the most with what you have, where you are. We always see someone else’s life as better than ours. Took me a while to realise that.

    This guy is very informative. He takes his hustle very serious and never gave mediocre content. He's always well prepared and well informed in any topic he tackles. I like his work ethic ways he use to inform and educate. A big S/O to Penuel for the platform 👌

    Another solid day one. This gent is a technical ops guy that looks into the mechanics of any operation for deeper understanding so he know where, how & why to place himself. I like his system ops & efficient mindset. Solid G.
    Pen uk’gwema the constant/periodic interruptions, please carry a pad & pen so you can note down questions that come up while your guests are speaking. There are some thought pattern interruptions that takes place here & there due to you being conversational/engaging. Yes keep the nature of the exchange on that conversational plain without ukuba ngena em’lonyeni. Your subsequent questions tend to throw them off ngas’kathi & they don’t remember to finish their thoughts off.
    Keep the great work up ket! Massive big up to the crew behind the scenes.

    @odwangxokela4090 Год назад +1

    On the point that Holomisa gave houses to people from Transkei, Sebe too gave houses to the black people of Ciskei also, Mdantsane township are RDP houses that were given to xhosas coming from the farms, around 1971. The gap is that people from Transkei are traditional, most self employed, and more entrepreneurial than us Ciskei xhosas. Our parents were nurses and teachers. Every bnb in umtata is black owned, every bnb in EL is white owned. They still farm, own funeral parlours, etc. Their entreprenerial mindset is quite impressive, they move like the Afrikaans did, they send they kids to schools in EL and pay cash, and they hold managerment positions in Municipal and Gov positions, in the Free State and EC. Trnskei xhosas are the new Afrikaaners

    As someone who's been watching American Shows like Impact Theory by Tom Bilyeu and How I Built This by Guy Raz aspiring to sit in on those shows one day, I think with no doubt The Penuel Show is the 1st South African show I aspire to be on one day. To Zim my brother we've had a lot of interesting conversations together you're just so brilliant my brother, this country needs visionaries like you to take us forward. Keep up the good work! Penuel THANK YOU FOR THIS PLATFORM! It's bigger than you...
