IDC South Africa Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 Mashudu Modau Did we put in work? Yes. Through the support we applied for from the IDC South Africa, we hoped to make history as the first black automaker in the auto hub of the country. But you know, the IDC hates that. The saga continues.

![Disclaimer: Excuse my French. Alright, let's get real. Here’s the side of entrepreneurship no one talks about—the side where you’re grinding, pulling late nights, and thinking, “This is it. I’ve got it.” *cues: we making it out the hood* And then, life throws you an L so hard, it knocks the wind out of you. So here’s mine. A while back, I get this chance to head to Germany. Big deal, right? It was this government-backed program, and I’m thinking, “This is my moment.” I had my eyes set on a meeting with Volkswagen AG—the pinnacle. I was going in, ready to shake hands, drop some big ideas, and maybe walk out with something huge. You know, that moment where you see the future unfolding in front of you. I spent weeks preparing. I researched VW like I was about to sit for the bar exam. I had this vision—a collaboration that was going to be next-level. The kind of thing that could genuinely make a difference, not just for me, but for the industry. I was excited, I was ready, I was... overconfident. The mood was insatiable. So, I walk into this meeting with my pitch, feeling like this was going to be the breakthrough moment. I lay it all out. I’m talking about electric vehicle innovations, partnerships, new ideas. You name it. I gave it everything. But, here’s the twist: they didn’t bite—many weeks after. Instead, they went with an American company—big players with billions to throw around [I asked for a couple of million Euros]. And just like that, I realized I wasn’t leaving Germany with the dream deal I’d envisioned [partially]. Nope. Instead, I was watching a door close right in front of me. And now? Word on the street is they’re shutting down some of their German plants. Irony, right? They took the billions and still missed the mark. But here’s the truth—sometimes you’re just not the one they pick, no matter how good your pitch is or how hard you’ve worked. That was my L. It stung. It still does. But this is the side of entrepreneurship that needs to be shared. Not every story ends in a win. Sometimes you just walk away with a lesson and a bruised ego. But that’s okay. It’s part of the journey. And let me tell you, that loss? It lit a fire under me that’s still burning.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1831680240109731882/amplify_video_thumb/1831679945443082241/img/Nx1YPeHsFmA0cLMD.jpg)
