South Africa is truly a land of possibilities when you take a listen to Fezile Dhlamini's story. Unnerved by several rejected job applications at Uber and Taxify, Dhlamini decided to launch his own e-hailing service, but with a difference. His business will only use low-cost, hi-tech electric scooters. After securing some 20 vehicles from Sweden, Dhlamini plans to pilot his business, dubbed 'Green Scooter', in September this year in Johannesburg. Take a listen to this truly inspiring story of a young man who has some serious chutzpah. - Gareth van Zyl
