Social media users shared mixed reactions to the screenshot. Some said the prices were too high, while others justified them. Fans also noted that a family platter for R1249 seemed reasonable, as many food joints in South Africa would charge more for a similar meal or less.
This is not the first time that DJ Sbu has faced backlash over his businesses. The star was dragged after humiliating a vendor on social media.

"I know it's not the same, but how much do you spend at Spur for 10 people? Definitely a whole lot more."
@PostiveImpact89 added:
"Platter for 10, how much can such a meal cost at Nando's. That’s a reasonable price for ten people."

"Not expensive if everyone contributes equally. The problem is that girls think they are entitled to eat for free."
@Excusemedummy said:
"At Nando’s a quarter Leg on its own is 60 bucks so for 8 quarter legs, not meals, you are looking at paying around 472!
"FYI I’m referencing the second meal choice in the image… add 3 chuck steaks, 4 wors, 3…. And whatever else it includes 🤔 looks pretty reasonable to me. I always say the downfall of black business are black people themselves."
