The response was massive, with hundreds of tweets posted under the hashtag #DJSbu in the hours that followed.
Services ranged from cleaning to selling laptops, Herbalife and babysitting. Even aspiring rappers and musicians used the platform to showcase their talent.Speaking to TshisaLIVE, he said he was inspired to lend a hand after reading reports of mass retrenchments at several large companies "I decided that I needed to make a difference. I have been preaching entrepreneurship since 2013. I have been promoting black businesses for some time, but it caught on this weekend. People thought I was mad when I started promoting black businesses, but now people see that it is one of the only ways we can make a difference and beat unemployment.
Sbu said he was overwhelmed with the response and called on others with large followings on social media to open their platforms to do the same. "Big business needs to take us seriously and create entrepreneurship opportunities instead of just cutting jobs. We also need people to take these businesses seriously, both people on the street and government departments," he added.
It’s simple. Big government means small business. And vice versa. Businesses create jobs through growth. It’s a partnership between Labour business and government. In sa it’s a constant vicious fight. Want job? Learn to play nice.
While we still on that create entrepreneurship spirit, please guys find out if Dj Sbu paid all Zahara money that was said to be due.👉🙂
