Hi from South Africa

in #crime7 years ago

Hello steemers, allow me to introduce myself. My name is russela and i'm from Cape Town, South Africa. Well, to be more specific......i'm from Bonteheuwel in Cape Town.

About me.

I'm a furniture maker, designer, trader and a family man. I started in the furniture industry in the late 1980's. Working my way to production manager, i've decided to start my own company.  Business was not doing good to the condition of the country and i had to find alternative routes. I tried my luck with internet marketing but that too didn't work out. I just had to find something. In 2014 I advertised a product called "Rooibos tea" on the internet and soon I've attracted a lot of attention from investors. Due to the fact that my registration documents were not in order, that opportunity soon went out by the window. 

Currently, I'm feeling my way around a Forex/binary markets.

Growing up in the most toughest parts of the world is not easy. Crime and gangsterism has become a norm in the community and with the country's recession, it is hard to keep head above water. 

To me it's not about where you live but how you live. Life is short so i will have to make the most of it.

In my next post, i will tell you more about the place i grew up and the role i played in fighting crime and gangsterism.


I hope to find a new circle of friends on steemit.
