About Yongama



I am a business enthusiast and consummate entrepreneur. Would be a bad hire with itchy feet; a husband to a beautiful wife and father to an incredible son.

My dream is to be cattle breeder – until that day, I enjoy being an entrepreneur, learning and growing my skills at the helm of Developer Factory.

This blog is about my journey of discovery and self-discovery as I venture ever so deeper into business, learning and family life.

No easy route, no shortcuts - a look at 'White Monopoly Capital' and Stellenbosch as enemy

Image
As the popular adages goes, 'There are no shortcuts to success' and "There is no easy route to creating wealth" I have made no secrets on my love for Stellenbosch and moreover, my adoption of some of its leading entrepreneurs as my role models. I have had the great pleasure of spending my formative years as a young adult in Stellenbosch.  As student my rooting and fundamental beliefs were shaped and influenced by the town, its ambiance and all that that the institution embodied. The town of Stellenbosch  hosts a population of well  over 200 000 people,  spanning an area of  831.04 km². The town is a  vibrant economic area, with an active tourism market. M ajority of the population is white. The community also has some of the highest levels of education of any town in the country. For a small town, it offers and contributes to the fiscus more than its fair share. If that is the case, why then do we not learn valuable lessons from th...

Where else in the world could a village boy grow up to be one of the greatest symbols of forgiveness and reconciliation the earth has ever known. A states man and founding father of a new type of society. South Africa - the country without a name, but a geographic designation is apt in its name, it should offer direction and lead for the African continent. This country has given rise to some incredible sporting talent, innovations and medical breakthroughs. We have had and continue to produce great leaders in business, industry and science.

Unlike most - ours has been a dark history, a history we have not fully faced and found ways to coexist with. The shame of our past keeps on visiting us in present. Through our ...

Land First?

The issue of land is quite a contentious one - throughout the world, people find their identity in the land they live on and in as well as the language they speak. If offers a sense of belonging not inherent in us but derived from something tangible.  As the great speech from Thabo Mbeki states: I am an African, I derive my being from…. We all derive our sense of identity from things outside of us. Teaching my first son about our clan, clan name and totems that accompany it, give rise to his identity. Where our clan hails from eSheshegu, a small village outside eDutywa the Eastern Cape. Now the question of land - I have had the great pleasure of traversing the Cape Provinces, this being the Northern, Western and Eastern Capes. What a beautiful country we live in. Massive tracks of land belonging to white farmers as well as the South African government throughout the areas I have visited.  Being in the agricultural industry I have come to understand the value...
