🎙️ This Week on Vaguely True Ep 826 — Investing While White: Arthur Bezuidenhout’s South African Struggle
In this eye-opening episode of Vaguely True, Rob Vega sits down with Dutch businessman Arthur Bezuidenhout, a man who came to South Africa with capital, vision, and a plan to create jobs — only to hit a wall of bureaucracy, corruption, and thinly veiled racism.
Arthur opens up about:
His mission to invest and develop infrastructure
The real cost of corruption in South Africa
How racial politics derail progress
The countless jobs he’s tried to create — and the government resistance
Why being a white investor in South Africa often gets you labeled before you even begin
It’s a fascinating, brutally honest hour of truths most people won’t say out loud.
Is it still possible to build something meaningful in a system designed to break you? Arthur hasn’t given up — but he’s learned the hard way what really stands in the way of progress.
👉 If you care about transparency, opportunity, and real solutions — this one’s unmissable.
