Live and Work

When I went to work in the UK in 2008, I needed a work visa. I was born in the South African container, and needed permission to work in the British container. The idea of “equal pay for equal work” is a goal, not a truth. We work in containers. Even if the idea of remote work is growing. If we haven’t met the challenge of breaking down the obstacles, then you get paid based on the supply and demand of your barriers to entry. Gender gaps, race gaps, national gaps… rightly or blatantly wrongly, there are plenty of reasons (beyond merit) why people get paid differently if they have different containers. We have work to do to change that. I went to work in the UK, partly to get paid more. The reality too, is that you spend more in areas where you are paid more. Again… supply and demand. The same thing doesn't cost the same everywhere when there is friction. The real key to wealth creation is the gap between spending and earning. I came back to South Africa in December last year and now work at a company (a container) that builds a container (open-architecture platform) for South Africans to invest around the world. Getting our clients money a work visa to work (and grow) overseas, while they live (and grow) in South Africa.
