"Who is this guy and what does he do?"

Ko_diniting.com_ said:

"This guy is a fake, as the saying goes, show me your friends and a friend of mine knows him. He can’t even help those around him, but he wants to do it for the media. This, for me, is fakeness overload. His 'girlfriend' should be an envy of Johannesburg if ever he was really monied. He just wants girls, this one."

Tebatso3996 wrote:

"Why is he giving it straight to Scott, not the girl? Scott, baleka uthwele, (bad luck). He will take your luck run."

_Thenji__ said:

"The question should be why he only wants Scott to touch or take the money first?👀?
