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.
