Well, let me share this story with you today. Everybody that knows me knows I love the youth of Ghana, and I always want to see them doing well. I want to see the boys and girls in the ghettos move from unemployed to gainful employment.
That's how the Shaxi dream was born. My team and I set out to create a sustainable business that employs teeming unemployed Ghanaians. That's our drive and not profits. At the end day, we want to make an impact and leave our mark.
Shaxi is for not just Shatta Wale and friends, and it's a Ghanaian project for Ghanaians, so let's all embrace it and make it happen. I appreciate your support, and thank you to the entire team behind the Shaxi project; I couldn't have done this without you. #Shaxi 🚙🚙 It's time to ride.'
