Every now and again, self-entitled rich kid Crazy J Moroka (Paballo Mavundla) loses touch with reality, which sees him making impractical decisions. This time however, the videographer has gone too far. He recently staged his toddler son Banele’s (a few different babies are used) kidnapping to extort his rich family of R1 million. “Crazy J is currently sinking in debt. Without a doubt, faking his son’s abduction is way overboard, but he really needs the money,” says Paballo.

This situation could’ve easily been avoided if Crazy J had asked the family for a loan. It’s not like they don’t have the money. But his pride won’t allow him to. “The thing is, any handout from the Morokas comes with conditions. He wants this money in order to be financially free from them. Once he gets the money, he is planning on cutting ties with them and investing it into Banele’s education,” explains Paballo. Well, what is left of the million after he pays back the money he stole to gamble.
