Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that there's a model of fridge on the market that costs R940k, too expensive for Somizi even. Somizi took a trip to Smeg to buy a Dolce & Gabanna kettle and toaster and he saw something in the showroom that shocked him.

The celebrity saw a fridge there, it was absolutely stunning, all the DG appliances are beautifully decorated but this fridge is something else. He asked the ladies in the store to tell him the price of the fridge and he told his audience to turn their volume up and listen carefully. The video is hilarious.
