@MissRebecca_M remarked:

“Recent reports from late 2025 indicate that the South African Revenue Service (SARS) seized a large collection of luxury bags from his mother to settle tax debts. Of approximately 200 bags seized, only 23 were authenticated as genuine and cleared for auction. The remaining 177 items could not be verified, leading to widespread public claims that they were replicas or fakes.”

@Vuyo40049555 said:

“How he spends his money is nobody's business. If he worked for it legally, then he is free to do whatever he wants to with it; if it was acquired illegally, then I have a problem.”

@GrootmanGP asked:

“Why is this guy so proud to flex his mom's wealth at this age??? Normal rich kids seeking validation for their own accomplishments or keep quiet by this big age.”

@KhayaMhlongo12 mocked:

“It must be nice to be him, I’m sure umfana kaMama doesn’t even know how to create a Curriculum Vitae.”
