- A South African woman's story of spending her R13.9 million lottery winnings in three months has sparked heated debates.
- Her reckless spending habits shocked the nation and became a viral sensation on TikTok, generating over 1,400 comments.
- The woman's experience highlights the importance of financial literacy and responsible money management.
Let’s face it—South Africa has no shortage of incredible stories. But one episode of the Mzansi Magic original show "I Blew It" exposed a harsh reality: many South Africans struggle with financial literacy. And this isn’t just about budgeting—it’s about understanding the value of money and how to make it work for you.
The popular show "I Blew It" dives deep into the lives of individuals who squandered their fortunes after winning big. Each episode features a different story, but none has captured the public’s attention quite like Moipone’s saga. Her journey from rags to riches—and back again—has left many people scratching their heads.
South Africans React to Moipone’s R13.9 Million Spending Spree
Moipone’s story is both fascinating and tragic. Imagine this: she asked her boyfriend to buy a lottery ticket for her, and boom—he came back with a winning ticket worth nearly R14 million. But here’s the kicker: instead of planning for the future, Moipone went on a spending spree that would make even the most extravagant celebrities blush.

In the first three months alone, Moipone blew through R7 million. She didn’t stop there. When she withdrew R5 million early from her savings account, the bank slapped her with nearly R500,000 in fees. That’s right—half a million rand down the drain because of poor financial decisions. And if that wasn’t enough, she gifted R1 million to her brother-in-law for absolutely no reason. Talk about generosity!
Moipone also bought ten cars, only to lose ownership of all of them later. To top it off, she fell victim to a fake tender scam, losing another R500,000. By the time the dust settled, Moipone was left with nothing but regret. In her darkest moments, she even sold one of her cars for a measly R7,000 and found herself desperately searching for a job.
