Rob Hersov is back with a plan to turn talk into action: New South Africa.org

Loading player...
Outspoken billionaire, viral sensation and vehement critic of the ANC, Rob Hersov, joined Alec Hogg of BizNews to share his practical solution “to save South Africa from the ANC,” as he puts it. Aside from extreme praise and death threats, Hersov has also received criticism for being “all talk and no action” following his latest scathing accusations against the corrupt ANC. In response and because of his own passion to see South Africa succeed, he has launched a decentralised autonomous organisation called New South Africa.org which has already gained 12,000 members in the four days since the blockchain-supported platform was launched. The initiative already has over 30 volunteers and sees endless possibilities to raise funds and support the projects that government should be spearheading, like getting Wi-Fi into townships or developing homeless settlements.New South Africa.org is a libertarian, free-market, non-racial, apolitical organisation, that through decentralised blockchain technology, can raise funds and allow members to vote for investment proposals without bureaucracy, ensuring the transparent and accountable allocation of funds, powered by the blockchain ecosystem. An inspiring project that could yield real results with the groundswell support of South Africans, we wish Rob and the New South Africa.org team the very best in their vision to, “support fellow members and organisations … to create and endorse investment activities that will add value to our country, giving ownership of decisions back to the people and to restore our reputation and the dignity of the people.” Learn more about your ad choices.
