Ifani said:

"I'm not alone in this experience. Sometimes, you find yourself challenging and discover others who share your pain. It's in those moments that you establish a meaningful connection. Meeting these individuals and conversing with them can lead to personal growth."

The former TV presenter also spoke about what he learned during that period.

"It provided me with valuable lessons in patience. I used to be quite impatient, always wanting instant results, especially when I had invested in something. I never imagined I would return to the township; I had envisioned a life of comfort," he said.

Speaking to Briefly News, Gogo Skhotheni's husband, Monde Shange, said he and his wife learnt a lot about money during and after his interview with Ifani.

Monde shared:

"We have learned that money without discipline can make your life difficult, and you won’t be able to pursue your dreams, especially getting it at a young age."

Monde also shared a piece of advice for young people who find themselves in a similar predicament as Ifani's, of making a lot of money but not knowing how to use it.

"My advice is they should start with what will benefit them, especially if the limelight gets too much cause it doesn’t last forever. People need to learn how to invest and add some financial advisors, which most banks offer. Be wise. You can still have fun without being everywhere," he said.
