Bongani Fassie can't seem to shake off his bad spending habits. It is alleged that the South African music producer received R400,000 in royalties from his late mother, Brenda Fassie's royalties. However, where that money went remains a mystery.

How to blow R400K in 2 months

According to The South African, the reality TV star received several payments totalling R400K from Brenda Fassie's royalties.

The news publication reports that he spent the money in two months, however, he is still knee-deep in debt. The more concerning part is that he still has not allegedly paid his two children's school fees.
