@__Qwabe commented:

"You have created employment and fed some families, good to see."

@Hero_Oceanz replied:

"Don’t forget royalties come after a while, guys. Let’s say you earn 20K at your work and they pay you only a lump sum after 6 months. That’s R120K So don’t look at this like it’s easy money. You gotta be patient while putting in the hard work."

@Killmon_sa mentioned:

"I hope G Mashego is part of it."

@Mongeziboo commented:

"Well done, sir! You are always getting so much slack for not paying people; this is beautiful to see."
