Amapiano artist Sabelo Zuma, popularly known by the mononym Zuma, is excited following the purchase of a Volkswagen Golf GTI worth between R857 100 and R1 021 000. After purchasing the sleek matte black Golf, Zuma shared an Instagram post that left Mzansi emotional.
Sabelo Zuma might just have proved Podcast and Chill co-host MacG wrong with his latest purchase. The Podcast and Chill co-host previously suggested that Zuma is a drug addict during an episode of the popular podcast, but his recent purchase might just have redeemed him in the eyes of some fans who might have taken MacG’s banter as fact.
