"She knows. She just wanted to show us the balance. Everyone knows their money unless she just picked it from the bin."

@davidbanda285 shared with the woman:

"Yoh, I would have withdrawn R50 000 just for control."

"I want it to be a million."

@undivided74 added to the conversation:

"Not a million, but a lot of money."
