"Hey Sol, did you know that he is actually a co-founder and Chief Client Officer of Paymenow, the early payment salary payment thing you were dissing @MacGUnleashed @podcastwithmacg. Just thought I'd share that."

@molodiloddies responded:

"As a chiller of 7 years, I had hoped you guys would at least interview one black/coloured legend from minority sports like cricket or rugby, just to hear their experiences in those circles, but to date, not even one interview. Please make it happen."

@Waltz42747233 reacted:

"The next Rugby World Cup must be dedicated to him."

"That other gang will say Rele is better than him. They're now saying Mofokeng is better than Benny McCarthy because he said he'd like to coach Kaizer Chiefs."
