Popular Mzansi content creator and, media personality Lasizwe Dumbuza is showing off a more “affordable” electric car purchase, months after confessing to selling his luxury Range Rover over financial constraints.
The YouTuber and reality TV star shared the happy news in an Instagram post.
Last month, the young star made the confession after an image of his car on sales page Auto Trader went viral.
On Saturday, 13 April, Lasizwe posted a clip of his new car reveal – a black and white electric Volvo EX30.
Accompanying him to the dealership was his brother Lungile Mcunu, who was just as excited as him.
The 25-year-old giggled with excitement as he hopped in the driver’s seat and was handed the keys to his car.
“What should I play?” he asked his brother. “Nicki Minaj,” his older sibling, said of Lasizwe’s obsession with the US rapper.
He later showed off a clip of his car parked in his garage.
