Mzansi crucifies lady sharing how to spot fake friends

The “fake friends” chat is a very popular one amongst women, especially those who’ve found success through social media. We’ve seen many relationships crumble between influencers.

Their sisterhoods go from being dreamy and whimsical to bloody and horrifying after they air out their dirty laundry to the public in a battle to tarnish each other’s image. Lunch dates are Instagram likes were what kept the friendships glued but other than that, it’s a matter of who can endure the other the most.

“Why ask people for money in the first place?”

@Katli realised that a lot of the people in the comments did not quite understand the message:

“It seems like everything she said went over people's heads.”

@Thabio1 was boggled by the message and asked:

“Maybe I don’t get what you meant. So they should borrow you R20 when you need it?”

@Sino Kobo did not agree with the woman’s views and explained:

“I’d rather not be your friend. I’ve stopped borrowing my friend's money because they never pay me back or they drag their feet when they have to and that causes fights. No thanks, they must borrow money from their men.”

@Nandy 🇿🇦 concluded:

“You are jealous.”
