"I guess it’s happy new year🥳 to Beverly, lol. 😂."
@BoitumeloCaleb responded:
"The court ordered the payment, but there is no public record confirming that the Viljoens have actually paid Happy Simelane the R2.8 million. In fact, recent developments suggest Simelane and other former associates are still fighting for their money."
