Very excited to announce our new deal. Hlayisani has invested into the amazing @d6groupSA to support their growth journey as they expand internationally. Great team with incredible reach and ability to make a real difference in Edtech. linkedin.com/posts/d6group_s…
So now I can point out that the Easter Egg in our last FoundersDinner was @WKitshoff. That’s how keen we were to invest… we plied home with food & red wine like one of our own. Sometimes you just know!

What a week! Pay-away on two sizeable $ Series-A VC investments. Reminder of how far we’ve come, as not so long ago our total Investable Capital would be depleted if we did this. Well done team, LP’s, co-investors, advisors & most NB: the Entrepreneurs. #ChampagneChain🍾growing! – at Cape Town, South Africa

SAA to receive 1.663 billion rand from treasury, Mango 819 million, Air Chefs 218 million. Tax paying FlySafair, Comair and Airlink will receive zero rand while the amount of aircraft movements is at all time lows. This is in principle unfair competition practice.
