SA trolls lady’s R17.6K shoes after flaunting R634K monthly salary

“Guys, I never thought I would swipe R17.6k for a pair of shoes. I love shoes to the point where I would lay-by R3K shoes and wait for payday, but today, I just bought them.”

Majezi did a reveal of her purchase in a now-viral video and South Africans were not impressed by the pair she chose although some people thought the shoes were age-appropriate. The woman was not phased by the comments and clapped back at the internet trolls.

In a different video posted before her big-girl splurge, Majezi gave Mzansi major chest pains after showing off her beefy R634K salary by selling health products. The clip was also an advertisement strategy to attract more customers.

Some South Africans thought the woman’s video was unnecessary, while some were inspired enough to ask for information to join the business of selling the products with the hope of also making good money. Majezi also shows off her mansion from time to time to remind her followers of her luxurious lifestyle and the riches of her successful business.

Briefly News caught up with financial expert Fulufhelani Mashapha to explore how high earners can balance enjoying their income and making wise financial decisions. She explained:

"Regardless of whether you are a high earner or a low-income earner, the fundamental principle remains the same: it is essential to live below your means.

This entails ensuring that your total expenses are consistently lower than your total income, thereby allowing you to save or invest a portion of your earnings.

Financial success is not determined by how much you earn, but by how much you are able to retain at the end of each month."

“It’s very ugly.”

“Even Luella is better than these shoes.”

“The shoe is very basic though.”
