He jokingly exclaimed in the video, saying:

"Yoh, levels, levels! Kids carrying bank cards and Woolies tuckshop, not just a normal tuckshop with Aunt Jamie or our sisi there, Woolies tuckshop!"

The social media user @ecks_ves went on to imagine the luxurious offerings, adding,

"Those kids are gonna eat asparagus. They’re gonna say, ‘Ah, the tuckshop is gonna feed me food that’s gonna make me get 100% in my tests.’ I’m pretty sure there’s a nutritionist there, with a card. They are tapping, they are tapping."

Continuing with his playful commentary, he quipped:

"He auntie, can I get a croissant with salami?’ It’s nice there. You know, in life, other people are living, we are accompanying them, but at the same time, live your own life. Don’t look at these things in a bad way. Ah, Curro, you are doing the things, man."

He laughed as he described the students’ likely meals: "I’m sure they have starters for a small break. They’ll be like, ‘I want caviar.’ One second they’re eating salads, green, green salads, fresh lettuce, crispy lettuce, not lethargic lettuce."
