MyGrowthFund Venture Partners

Hello Family,

Yesterday, my team & I became aware that my Facebook Business Page had been hacked. We have been trying without success to reach support at Meta. But, frankly, they have responded AT ALL.

This is the Business Page (https://www.facebook.com/VusiThembekwayoPage/)

It took us 14 years to build this page to 1.5 million followers. And Meta has not been responsive at all.

While my team and our security continue to try the Meta avenue, I have a favour to ask: please report the page to Facebook. The more reports, the higher the chances that Meta will attend this.

If you have access to email, please also email [email protected]

Thank you in advance.

Part of what we do to serve the entrepreneur is work with large and listed businesses to help them become a force for good in the communities that they operate. We empower small and medium businesses to participate in mainstream economy.
Last year, we partnered with Ceramic industries. This relationship accelerated 7 businesses and created close to 120 direct and indirect jobs. The real time total economic value of each of these jobs is an estimated R21,966.00. This means that we have fundamentally contributed to the economy of South Africa – An economy currently in dire straits. This programme has not only paid for itself but it also paved the way for what we need to do going forward.
There’s no denying that small and medium businesses are the bastion of how we can build our economy, but this possibility will not find full expression without funding for these businesses.
Another undeniable fact is that our methods work; they have proven to be successful time and time again, from managing venture capital to recognizing and accelerating high growth potential businesses. This is why we have the confidence to ask you to partner with us today. Not only to build lucrative relationships, but to be a force for good for the entire South African House.
