In the ever-surprising realm of South African celebrity moments, Gogo Maweni just turned heads again. Last weekend, she shared a playful video of herself holding stacks of cash like a phone and laughing her way through a pretend call. The result was a social media storm that blended fascination, humour, and a dash of tax anxiety.
Money on the Ear and Fingers Typing Fire
In the clip shared online, Gogo holds a bundle of notes to her ear as if she is chatting away on a call and then cracks up with laughter. It was lighthearted on her side, but the Internet took it seriously; the reaction was instant and electric.
‘SARS Is Watching’ Became the Weekend Tagline
Among the wealth of comments, many users tagged SARS jokingly. One quip read, “I think it is time you tax sangomas,” while another warned, “SARS will come for her soon.” There were laughs about ancestral money and reminders that sangoma referrals must also pay tax. Then there was the one calling out how flashy it was and that regular rich people don’t parade their money this way.

We admire the shimmer but also wonder if it is real, fancy, or foolish. Gogo has had headlines before for controversial moments, yet she still commands attention when she grins and waves her cash.
