“South Africa's Economic Genocide" - Entrepreneur Rob Hersov SLAMS Corrupt Gov't, Zuma & Racist Laws | PBD Podcast | Ep. 589

Born wealthy, had every opportunity, went to Harvard Business School, got the jobs I wanted, worked for Rupert Murlock. You know, just things came. I mean, I made an effort, but they came easy. This is the first time in my life I'm doing something I don't need to do at great financial cost, at great personal risk, where my wife and kids are worried, are scared. My friends are scared.

But I feel I'm doing something because I have a calling and a duty on behalf of other South Africans. And I do love my country.

He turns 100 next year. Got it. Do you know, he caught the last 14 months of the Second World War, South African Air Force pilot. And somebody said, he must be one of the last remaining South African Air Force pilots from the Second World War. Does he still have his logbook? I called him. I said, Dad, do you still have your logbook? He said, I have all three of my logbooks.

So you can imagine how many hours he's flown. Where is his pride at with the country? He loves South Africa. He'd never have left. He's concerned. You know, my two older sons, one lives in America, one lives in London. My sister lives in North Carolina. My brother and sister live in London. Everybody, every South African family's next generation or next two generations have left or are leaving.

Everybody's gone. If we could fix South Africa. It's tough to bring people back, though. If I could give me my 100 days as a benevolent dictator, foreign direct investment would return, and there'd be a reverse diaspora of 100,000 to 200,000 extraordinary young South Africans who would take South Africa to 5% growth. So you are running.

So personally, I'm a minimalist. I only wear blue and white. I don't own any watches anymore. Really? No vases, no jewelry. I don't collect anything. When I proposed to my wife, I was in a German forest hunting wild boar in a tree with snow. She was next to me, covered up, pointing up the boar. And I said, will you marry me? Loaded rifle. She goes, I thought you'd never ask. I'll marry you.

But if you ever give me a diamond ring, engagement ring, anything, I'll sell them on eBay. And I said, well, why would you do that? She said, why should De Beers tell me this shiny stone's worth anything? Why should Hallmark Cards tell me tomorrow's Mother's Day? It's marketing. And from that day on, she minimalized me. I can put my life into four suitcases. I only wear blue and white.

Have a look at all my videos. I'm a minimalist. It's liberating. How long have you been a minimalist? Since 2010. It's got rid of everything. And that's when you guys started dating? No, we've been dating for a thousand years. You've been dating for a thousand years. She's my soulmate. It's the rarest thing in the world. A thousand years is a long time.

De Beers, a genius monopoly and a complete farce. What is a diamond? It's a shiny stone. It's worthless. So it's from South Africa and you think it's a fraud what they did to diamonds. Well, it's genius. It's not a fraud. It's complete genius to make up a shiny stone. They hang on to it so it makes it seem like it's worth more. A shiny stone. Are we insane as humans? We prize a shiny stone.
