Halala! Renowned sportscaster Andile Ncube is building the home of his dreams after initially losing an eye-popping R100,000.

The Metro FM presenter, who previously opened up about the building project, shared a video of himself touring his yet-to-be-completed mansion on YouTube.

In a video that premiered on his YouTube channel on Wednesday, 3 September 2025, Andile Ncube candidly shared that he lost an eye-popping R100,000 after he opted for a cheaper contractor. Ncube said:

“At 100,000 Rands in, I had to make the decision. Do I stay with them and allow them to continue and pour more money in, or do I cut my losses? I sat down with Chris, and what you're seeing now, we have to take it all down. We have to take it all down, and we have to start again with Chris's guys and the quote that he had given me initially, which means 100,000 Rands is down the drain. It's gone.”
