@kingweezymehlape wrote in the comments:

"I thought I was the only one. I am aware that R500 is more important to me than airtime, but last year's purchase of airtime actually caused me more stress."

Lynet replied to the TikTok user:

"It was supposed to be R60. It was a mistake."

@siweeeee5 told the online community:

"That’s why when I open my app, I don’t want any interference or people speaking around me."
