DJ Sbu inspires citizens to hustle for a living

DJ SBU thinks it is about time the South African education system stops imitating the rest of the world and starts creating a syllabus suited to the country.

And he’s taken the first step through his Hustlers Academy.

While there is a lot of planning that went into the creation of this academy‚ D J Sbu cut straight to the point when he explained the vision behind the academy.

First of all‚ D J Sbu wanted to get this out of the way: if you suffer from “abantu bazothini

syndrome” [What will people say] this academy is not for you. So what is Hustlers Academy? It is an institution that intends to develop the minds and the entrepreneur laying dormant in thousands of young hustlers in SA by teaching them how to make money.

D J Sbu partnered with the 3Sixty Financial Services Group (360 FSG) to start the project as he feels the SA education system is outdated.

“I will use a system of ‘how to sell’ that I was taught and have practised and modified. I have partnered with 360 FSG and these students will use what I have taught them to sell their policies and make money for themselves.

“I get my school and teach‚ 360 FSG gets their policies sold and the young people get a stipend and acquire a skill that will change their lives.”

D J Sbu wants to make you a millionaire. How?

“I can teach you how to make money. I’ve sold everything.”

Will there be classes in Johannesburg Bree Street or some highway?

“Yes‚ of course. There will be some unorthodox methods so expect anything.”

Who qualifies to be a scholar? “Anyone with Grade 12 and a good CV. You can apply through their website.”

What is the number one quality D J Sbu is looking for? “Hard work.”

Is there a certificate of some sort after you are done?

“No. Those who pass won’t need certificates because they’ll have money or at least the howto-make money skills.”

D J Sbu explained if you learnt how to sell‚ whether it’s a policy or a calculator‚ you would have no problem selling your brand and even creating other brands.

“Young people want and need money. That is the bottom line. Since the government isn’t exactly winning and the education system still only wants to create employees that chase salaries‚ we will change SA ourselves. One hustler at a time.”
