The reality of the South African economy became a major talking point after a well-known digital personality showcased her latest shopping trip.
The light-hearted post was shared on January 27 2026, by Facebook user Makhi Thee Swappa Queen, who built a massive following and high earnings as a “Meta baby.”
The creator was pictured at an Mpumalanga Spar, standing next to two trolleys filled with various meats, juices, and essential food items alongside another woman. She captured the post humorously, telling her followers that if they did not “eat cement for content,” they could forget about affording such a large grocery run.
