Once inside the tech store, @almightyghosthlubi asked his girlfriend what colour she wanted, and she responded "orange." The scene then cut to them sitting with a sales assistant who was helping them complete the purchase. The assistant typed in the amount on the system: R30,999.

After he tapped, the assistant confirmed that the payment had been approved. The couple then got into their car, and as @almightyghosthlubi drove them back home, they both started singing together:

"To my man, thank you to my man."

The video then showed them arriving at home, where the woman sat on her bed and excitedly unboxed her new phone. She took it out of the box and showed the back of the device to @almightyghosthlubi, who was still recording. She squealed with excitement and said "thank you baby."

The post went absolutely viral, getting over 500,000 reactions and more than 5,000 comments. However, the reactions were all over the place. Some people were surprised by the price and the fact that he paid cash for such an expensive item. Others were confused about the payment process, with some claiming they saw the woman paying for the phone herself using her smartwatch instead.
