The word kefi in Greek refers to joy. I assume HA snatched this word from his vocabulary, an Aussie with Greek descendants, my inquiry is whose happiness is this company here for?
So, are we experiencing HA dragging out a real life modern Greek tragedy? I haven’t seen any texts here written on this possibility so feel entitled to remind people that the Greek tragedies were written to educate people.
Here we have HA leading his company which IPO’d in 2006 at around 65p, and for HA this really was Joy as he could pay himself cash from the till frequently although in 2010 the share price dipped to 10p so investors must have been a bit wary. I assume that when the licenses in Africa were obtained the share price flew to over a quid, but the last fifteen years fundraising hasn’t been much joy and HA has to snatch hundreds of millions of shares out of the company just to pay his mortgage on his mansion somewhere in Cyprus.
Can readers see that having set up a company where happiness is the drive for the director’s motivation, he has only considered his own happiness?
It might be that some of those working close to him are included in the happiness and hopefully the new non-ex director Mr Addis Alemayehou presently is happy, yet how long can that last?
I think Kefi the vehicle for HAAs happiness has just about delivered for him what he set out to do, now this is coming to an end he may struggle with the guilt of having only considered himself well into his retirement but this will be the only price he has had to pay.
This tragic story only has one ending now, it is just how long HA needs to play it out.
