Mzansi shares theories

The car has got people talking, but the real conversation is about the rands behind it. Many fans are puzzled about how Master KG, best known internationally for the 2019 smash hit Jerusalema, has accumulated such visible wealth, with some quick to point out that the song's massive Covid-era surge likely played a significant role.

Jerusalema became a global phenomenon during the 2020 pandemic lockdowns, spawning a viral dance challenge that swept across Europe, Africa, and beyond, earning the Limpopo-born producer unprecedented international streaming and licensing revenue.
