Richards was wearing the famous birthday sash and was excited to see her birthday gift. The present was covered with a bed sheet that revealed a tiny secondhand bakkie that the lady was a bit underwhelmed by.
Although the birthday girl expected more, she accepted her family’s present and got in her new car to take it for a spin. Richards barely showed any excitement as her family hyped her up and ululated.
