"Why the age? Y'all putting other people under pressure. Remove that age, wena."

Elsewhere, Briefly News previously reported that Mzansi side-eyed a man infamous for putting out the most outlandish claims on the country's busy Twitter streets.

It's proving hard to believe anything that comes out of the tweep's mouth or screen, as he continues to prove himself quite the pathological liar, or so says fellow users of the social networking and microblogging platform.

It might be worth mentioning that @Shonny_SA recently claimed to have bought his sister a VW Chico for "passing matric with a Bachelor's degree". Courtesy of a picture he shared, he has now purchased the same or another young sister an Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max 5G costing a pocket-melting R38 000.
