The fake watch saga
In June, what looked like a confrontation that had died resurfaced after Vusi posted a picture of his watch on Twitter and Sizwe retweeted saying that the watch was fake. The comment made the two get into another heated argument. Responding to the claims that the watch was fake, Vusi said:
“Do you mind popping by my place and looking at my collection. I got this and the Hublot from the same dealer. [If] they ain’t legit, then I need to know what else. That would really help. Just followed you. So inbox me. Ta. Great to chat @watch_maniac look forward to connecting when I’m back in SA. This is embarrassing,”
It looks like what is going on between the two is more than what most people presume it to be. They do not seem like they are going to see eye to eye any time soon.
