A South African man casually admitted to spending R2 million to watch a World Cup game, and the internet has not recovered since. Mzansi looked into who the man was. TikTok creator @jojothejetplane posted the clip on 5 July 2026, and it opens with a simple question directed at the South African man:

"How much did you spend to get here?"

The man responds without missing a beat that he spent 2 million and that he is from South Africa.

Car dealer Haval Toti saw the clip and ran with it. In a response video, a salesperson walked viewers through exactly what that kind of money could get you off the showroom floor. For under R2 million, you could drive away in a 2026 BMW M3 Competition, or a 2017 BMW M3 paired with a BMW M2. If you preferred something bigger, a 2021 Porsche Cayenne GTS was also on the table. The wildcard option? Not one but two GWM Haval 300s, both fitted with the Brabus kit.
