Mzansi is still confused by Sweet Guluva donations
Netizens are not buying Sweet Guluva's post, saying this is still greed.

"This is like saying 'We do not want your donations, but we want them.' Someone will be donating R200 from their NSFAS income. Milk them tsotsi yase KZN."
@dzablase5 stated:
"Money is not a sin, but the love of money is a sin. This verse was written because of this greed. You are the one who should be donating, not the otherway around."
@DDT_PM asked:
"So, someone who won R2 million in cash still wants donations? What kind of greed is this?"

"This is the greed that was talked about in the Bible."
