The businessman, who creates content documenting his journey from being an orphan to owning a Porsche, posted his video on 12 December, 2025. He told people online that he had 2km left before arriving at the petrol station with his roughly R6 million car.

"I say it's going to be like R1 500 to fill her up. It's my first time filling her up."
