Woman returns Audi
In a TikTok video, Mhana Shongani (@mhanashongani) shows various images and clips of her beautiful red vehicle parked in a parking lot, with audio indicating that her days of being an Audi owner were over.
"Let's take it back," Mhana wrote in the clip.
In a separate video, Mhana expressed her frustrations with having to part with a lot of money to pay for her car instalments and fuel. She said she could not even afford to do other things that brought her joy because so much of her salary goes toward her car.
"It is not that I am failing to pay for the car that I'm driving, but my money freedom is no longer the same.

Pro-black chick was also considering returning her vehicle:
"I’m taking mine back, it’s not even that expensive,it’s only R3.6k pm, it’s a Toyota Yaris 2013 model. Just that I’m drowning in debts and can’t keep up with payments anymore; I’m 3 months behind."
