The video quickly gained traction, with numerous people sharing their experiences with TFG and other store accounts:
Nosipho expressed her frustration while acknowledging the debt she still owes:
"Nami angisalifuni 😢kodwa ngikweleta imali engakanani." [I also don't want it anymore. But I owe a whole lot of money.]
Nzonzi#13 echoed these sentiments, admitting:
"Aibona ngikhathele yilona ngifuna ongangisiza ngo R5000 ngilivale ngeke 💔" [Look I'm tired of this account, I need someone who can assist me with R5000 and close it, never.]
For some, the end of their TFG account is in sight. Thah_mazikode shared:
"R630 left, ngyaphuma nami." [R630 left, I'm almost out too.]
Meanwhile, Zinhle Ndala confessed:
"Ow bandla 😭🥹isfiso Sam ngiyi vala lento angazi bengisenzan." [Oh man, my wish: to close this, I don't know what I was doing.]
Others, like Tem_Mavuso, are still seeking assistance to clear their debts, asking:
"Cela ningipha imali ngikhokhele elami 😫😫" [Please give me money so I can also pay.]
_leo. to offer advice to students, warning them not to rely on store cards:
"Please advise students to not rely on that card."
While user919324894850 suggested opting for six-month payment plans over 12 months to avoid high interest rates:
"Guys, choose six months, not 12, because 12 interest rates are crazy. Six months is interest-free; you pay larger amounts. Mine has been okay since I changed it to six months."
The conversation didn't end there, as Yethu_Beauty_Spa admitted to owing R10,000.
"Am owing R10 000😩😩😩"
Naomi_leeann_davids celebrated nearing the finish line, saying:
"I am almost there. Just R370 at the end of this month, and I am done 🥹🙌🏼"
Tendamario humorously revealed the struggle of staying debt-free:
"This year, I closed my TGF account around March Jikijiki. Last month, I opened it again, and the clothes were very expensive in cash 😂😂😂"
