Musician and entrepreneur DJ Sbu has made amends with the vendor he refused to give R200 for not selling MoFaya.
This was after tweeps dragged and bashed him for berating the vendor who was selling soft drinks in the streets.

The Drama
Last week, DJ Sbu, whose real name is Sibusiso Leope, faced backlash after a video of him interacting with a street vendor went viral. In the video, DJ Sbu is seen waving down a vendor from his car and holding out a R200 note.
He asks the vendor for MoFaya, his energy drink brand. When the vendor replies that he doesn’t sell MoFaya, DJ Sbu pulls his hand back into the car and shouts, “You don’t have MoFaya… You are losing R200. What type of a hustler is this,” before driving away.

Tweeps argued that his actions were disrespectful and undermined the vendor’s hustle. Some even called for a boycott of MoFaya.

DJ Sbu took note of the backlash on social media. He reacted:
“You guys like dragging me for no reason. Ngenzeni manje?“
Earlier this morning, he drove to the vendor he scolded last week and took cases of the MoFaya energy drink with him.
The vendor stood in awe as DJ Sbu took out eight cases of his drink from his car before giving him the R200 he refused to give the vendor last week.
