Lol, the laughter never stops in Mzansi. A motorist recorded a street hustler at an intersection, and this guy’s audacity is straight-up next level.

Man's elite begging game displayed

Instead of the usual pleas, he flashed a board and declared, “Need petrol for my Porsche.”

This isn’t your average begging scenario. With a confident smile, the hustler made it clear he wasn’t there for pity. His mission was to entertain and score a few bucks.
