"I haven't heard someone making sooo much sense in a long time. Who is that guy??"

@nhlanhlamtima said:

"Linamandla! Let's pay it forward. Where we can let's lend a hand and pull those who are suffering out of the situation they are in. A simple thing as typing a CV and forwarding it to agents makes a difference."

@KgMol said:

"We have not mastered the art of creating our own black economy, where all of are profiting. Every time you ask a fellow black brother how they made it in business, the answers are vague. They'll never hold your hand to show you the ropes and tricks. It's sad."
