Most IT girls date rich men for money, then come to social media and mislead young girls into thinking they make their money from brand deals, podcasts and YouTube. The other day, I asked what Mihlali and Boity do. Before the Kagiso saga, I also asked what Cyan does, and people said she is a DJ who makes money from brand deals. My question is simple: What do these women actually do to afford their expensive lifestyles? I was watching Podcast and Chill, where Lerato Kganyago’s husband said Blue Mbombo pays R115k a month for a rented house. Again, what does Blue do? When MagG speaks about this, he is accused of hating women. When Penuel raises the same issue, people attack him. We had Khanyi Mbau, then Faith Nketsi, and now Cyan. I’m using people we know as examples, but there are many more. My issue is not with women dating rich men. That’s their choice. My problem is that young girls are being misled into thinking these lifestyles come from brand deals and content creation, when there may be more to the story. I’m worried about young girls because they seem to be easily influenced by fake lifestyles on social media. I saw a young girl praising Thuli Phongolo for travelling, living large, and not needing a man who will drain her. But I ask myself, how do we define success when someone gets only one or two gigs a month? These girls see the luxury but never ask where the money comes from. Sometimes, wealthy men are funding these lifestyles. Look at Amanda Du-Pont and her current man. Would he get the same attention from an ordinary village girl if he wasn’t rich? My concern is that young girls are starting to admire expensive lifestyles without understanding the reality behind them. We need to teach them to value real success, hard work, and financial independence, not just money and luxury. Young girls see these women as their role models , and everyone make them believe that all the lavish lifestyle is earned through content creation and brand deals , which is not true . Dear young girls , GO TO SCHOOL AND GET YOUR DEGREES.
