Most rich black people don’t know how to build mega factories they would rather be conspicuous consumers.

Conspicous consumption is foolish. Go help kids in rural areas to get proper sanitation in their schools.

Price tags, upon price tags, upon price tags
According to The South African, some of the bags spotted in the clip, included Horizon 55’s and 70’s. A 55 travelling bag costs a whopping R63 357, whilst a 70 has a base price of R60 000.
Just like the 55 and 70, one can assume that the other unidentified bags in the clip, don’t come cheap either.
