About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
"Wealthy Appetite: First the People and Money Will Follow" is an inspiring yet poignant tale set in South Africa during the apartheid era. The protagonist, Thabo Mokoena, is a black entrepreneur with a deep passion for technology and innovation. Dreaming of running a tech company, he faces the harsh realities of an oppressive system that limits black people to certain types of businesses, hindering his ambitions.
Undeterred, Thabo develops a revolutionary software, recognizing the potential risks posed by the corrupt, racist system. To safeguard his creation, he sells it to a U.S. company, securing a substantial sum that he uses to invest in a local soccer team. His involvement transforms the team, providing them with resources, exposure, and a sense of pride. Thabo's investment extends beyond the team to the entire community, symbolizing hope and success.
However, Thabo's success draws the ire of Markus van der Merwe and other white capitalists, who feel threatened by his accomplishments and influence. They conspire against him, orchestrating a scandal with the help of a bank manager, Leah Nkosi, falsely accused of aiding Thabo in financial misdeeds. This scheme leads to Thabo's public disgrace, the seizure of his assets, and his brief imprisonment.
The story takes a turn following the end of apartheid in 1994. Thabo, now released from jail, adopts a pseudonym and quietly rebuilds his business empire. His resilience and unwavering commitment to his community and ideals shine through, as he lays the foundation for a new era of growth and opportunity in a free South Africa. "Wealthy Appetite" is a narrative of struggle, resilience, and the power of hope and community in the face of overwhelming adversity.
