Previously, Briefly News reported that a Twitter user has Saffas caught in a big debate around the lavish spending habits of wealthy people. In the post, @DlalaChampion shared an image of a bill amounting to R182 531 (before the tip) - most of the items are expensive bottles of alcohol such as Hennessy, Dom Perignon and A de Brignac.

Although it is not stated who the slip belongs to, it shows that it comes from Moja Café in Soweto. @DlalaChampion captioned the post:

"I can never understand this."

The post is receiving massive attention on social media with close to 2 000 likes and over 300 retweets. The people of Mzansi are divided about how they feel about this extravagant bill - some say it's nobody's business how others spend their money, others say it's selfish as the money can be used to feed the poor, and a few try to explain how big spenders have another agenda.
