A popular South African DJ, who prefers to stay anonymous, left South Africans shaken recently when he spent over R200 000 on booze.
The latest bill follows DJ Bongz's R265 000 alcohol bill, which trended on social media back in August 2025.
South Africans were also furious with the mysterious DJ, who flexed his money and only tipped the waiter R30.
The South African reported on Friday, 19 September 2025, that the Durban DJ spent a jaw-dropping R225 000 on alcohol.
Social media user Don_Wavie shared the massive bill on his TikTok account and captioned the post:
"Ngathi sizophelezela abantu emhlabeni because wow," (It's like we are here on earth to accompany people, because wow).
The receipt shows that the customer settled the bill on 19 August 2025, at 00:52.
