Vusi: Business & Life Lessons from a Black Dragon | 
so-soVusi Thembekwayo is an entrepreneur and public speaker whose humble beginnings in a township make him relatable to the average South African. He lost his father at a young age and so was raised by a single mother. The father taught him karate and his mother was always supportive. This, combined with the opportunity granted to him given by the model C secondary education he received, served as a good foundation for his success.
Santie Now at the top of the food chain, Vusi has dedicated this book to ‘the poor child growing up in the lowly streets of the shanty town,without hope,without opportunity, and without love‘. But he embodies the paradox of education as stated by James Baldwin. He tries to change the mindset of the poor child to which he dedicates this book but unfortunately misses the mark with the delivery, which is taut with disdain. 1y
Santie The author is a paradox himself with the subtitle ‘Business and Life Lessons from a Black Dragon‘ who then goes on a long rant about how he doesn‘t want the colour of the skin to be the first thing people notice about him. Then why call yourself a black dragon Vusi? 1y
Santie Stating the fallacies, attitudes, and mentalities that are holding your people back is good thing, but doing so in a manner that looks down on them just because you got lucky enough to escape is unfair and disrespectful. He has no regard for the people who had the same dreams but no support. He tries to hard to be relevant but he failed to attune his book to his target audience and is more likely to offend them. Anyway, Merry Christmas 🎄 1y
