The car is pictured with a large golden ribbon and several balloons attached to the bonnet near the windscreen. It's parked in the driveway along a residential street and is surrounded by tall trees in what appears to be an affluent suburb.

The controversial post attracted more than 7 200 likes as Saffas bickered over the newest influencer to parade it on the timeline. There seemed to be a unanimous call by users for the real owner of the whip to raise their hand so the raging identity crisis surrounding it can finally be put to bed.
