"Impossible."

@HarbingerZA argued

"The amount is clearly wrong and misleading. It's way past that at this stage. If I'm not mistaken, this is the lady who showed her DNA results on YouTube & found to have quite a lot of indigenous DNA. She has a page detailing costs and this is not it."

@Lugisani_LG asked:

"Why are you misleading the nation with that R1.5m?"
