How trust betrays women in businesses
Women in businesses always lose due to over trusting. A young lady ventured into events business and bought 500 chairs, 60 tables and some tents. On one fateful day thugs hired her service and purported they had a wedding. She delivered 400 chairs, 500-seater tent and 50 tables. The thugs since disappeared.
Another lady started a side hustle of selling high end bags and perfumes. After a few months, the shop manager found out a supplier who supplied similar bags. The manager sold and replaced immediately. The lady was eventually kicked out because she couldn’t pay rent. The ‘manager’ currently operates similar businesses with more employees.
Another lady quit her job after realizing how much they paid kyeyo chaps. She traveled to USA, got some kyeyo and decided to build a house. She sent monies to her brother to build a family home only to return 5 years later and found nothing. The brother shared pictures of another house under construction then. She was denied visa for over staying in the US. She is in and out of Rehabs. The brother lives in the US todate.
Another lady (single mother) working for a big NGO decided to invest her savings in some Ponzi scheme called D9. She got the first windfall and later got hoodwinked to transfer all her savings.
She eventually resigned after recruiting a big network. She lost everything when the Ponzi scheme burst. Her child was taken away from her because of serial alcoholism.
Another lady working for a government parastatal was transferred to a ‘juicy department’. In under two years, she built a house, started a money lending firm, bought a farm and built some apartments (a semblance of arrivism in +256 and Africa in general).
A whistle blower blew her candle before she could complete the apartments. She was interdicted and later lost her job. Her unwillingness to reconcile the new reality with the previous life cost her heavily.
Her relatives and some disaster friends borrowed money which they didn’t pay. She failed to manage the businesses, approached a money lender for a loan to finish her apartments but unfortunately she borrowed from a loan shark.
She sold the farm trying to salvage herself in vain. She never saw the ceiling of the third floor, the apartments were sold off. Her house was sold for a song. She rents in Mutungo.
