Mzansi fans have pooled together a whopping R1 million for Big Brother’s Thandeka Tshabalala, proving once again that when South Africans rally behind someone, they really go all in. A few clicks, a few rands each, and suddenly a reality star has a seven-figure cushion from people who simply believed in her. Today’s R97 million Powerball and R6 million XTRA add up to a combined R103 million, which makes even that fan fund look like pocket money.
Numbers updated here after the draw. Powerball and Powerball XTRA draw every Tuesday and Friday at 21:00 SAST.
