Of course, it wasn't true for every businessman, but we also knew it wasn't entirely untrue. I mean, growing up in the villages, we always overheard stories, which implied that the wealthiest men in the village - that is, the OG who owned the supermarkets or super popular spaza shops - had apparently spilt blood and killed a family member (usually their own child) to attain the success they had.

It's not even a new thing, because even the old people used to have these conversations. See, no matter how reluctant we are to admit it, most of us know deep down that the reason Jackie Phamotse's video went viral, was because she spoke about the thoughts many of us have entertained but have never actually said out loud. not so honest?īy honest, I mean without resorting to criminal activities, unethical and usually corrupt practices and/or dark magic. So doesn't it make sense then, that if it's that hard to make money, other than by winning the lottery or having that trust fund (or other unique moneymaking opportunities), then the “dubious” filthy rich people around us must have got their riches by other means that are. and yet we all know people who are ridiculously rich without any logical explanation or evidence of hard or smart work on their part. Most people know and will agree that making money the honest way is hard AF, especially in a world where the system seems to be rigged against most of us who aren't born with trust funds or generational wealth.
