Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a man had recounted selling one of his two houses and relocating to the US.

He told DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa's Daily Hustle Worldwide that he had to leave his South African wife and child behind for a better life in the US despite his success in South Africa.

He stated that he did not leave South Africa because of financial limitations. On the contrary, he decided to relocate because he had money. Owusu said the decision to travel was motivated by security considerations more than financial reasons.
