SOUTH AFRICANS REACT TO R1227 BILL
@XUFFLER: “At least the bill is not that huge.”
@Scarnia_11: “This reminds me of a club we were playing at just last month in Menlyn and my boy couldn’t believe that 6 Windhoek is R240. It’s expensive yes!!! but come to think of it, it almost makes sense… who wants me to break it down for them?”
@Guy_on_twitr: “I paid about 400 rand in Botswana for 6 Heineken, still shocked.”
@g_mapaya: “Those boys were all wearing hats, I think this was all planned.”
@MJ_Mahlaela: “Perhaps they thought because they performed on the night, drinks will be on the house.”
@ln_leona: “People need to stay home indoors if they can’t afford to pay such small bills.”
