Social media users were stunned by the amount of money the couple spent and said:

@Kyle0207 shared:

“The money you spent in Cape Town, you could have gone to Bali for two weeks, lol.”

@Zintle|TheMommy said:

“A return trip to Cape Town R11.5k? Even for a couple that's a lot.”

@Mttvs pointed out:

“Even business class return flights to Cape Town are not R11,000.”

@nozi_pho31 explained:

“Those complaining about flight being R11k, here's a tip. Always go on vacation in January, everything is cheap, and when people return to work, you go on holiday. We went to Cape Town and paid R4800 for return flights for two people. Total trip was R20000, which included activities, accommodation, food, and car hire.”

@✨Duduetsang ✨wrote:

“They weren’t lying when they said going to Cape Town these days is like a European summer, what is happening? Wow, R10k is a return flight in peak Euro summer.”
