Instead of receiving the clothing items she paid R2350 for, Ntando’s courier arrived with a packet of chips.

Ntando, who started worrying when she felt the package was extremely lighter than expected opened bags to get to her big surprise while still recording. chips which were packed in two courier bags.

Holding the courier bag that looked light as paper, she said:

“Ng’cela nibuke (please look).”

Taking out the pack of chips she said, “Ng’cela nibuke (please look at this) ohh my goodness. Kanti injani lengane (why is this girl like this)?”

She continued, “R2350 of my money gone, like really. Anjani amantombazana ase Thekwini, (But how are these Durban girls).”

A sobbing Ntando continued, “I’m shaking guys No!”
