@mrmahlangu70: 📝 📽 Description If you buy a Big Mac in Johannesburg, does the money go to the President? 🍔🇿🇦 It sounds like a wild urban legend, but the truth is even crazier. For years, Cyril Ramaphosa didn’t just own a McDonald’s—he owned the master franchise for ALL of them in South Africa. Here’s the wild 3-act story of how a fiery anti-apartheid union leader became a fast-food billionaire, and then executed the ultimate corporate exit strategy: 🔹 The Rise: From founding the Mine Workers' Union to becoming a BEE titan, buying 100% of McDonald’s South Africa (200+ stores). 🔹 The Conflict: The Marikana massacre controversy clashes with his image as a minimum-wage corporate employer. 🔹 The Exit: A secret, multi-billion Rand sale to an offshore UAE investment firm just 15 months before he became President of South Africa. Today, not a single cent from your fries goes to him. But the story exposes the bizarre reality of post-apartheid power. Genius political move or massive conflict of interest?
