On 'Podcast and Chill with MacG', he said he lost his car and his house is empty because SARS auctioned his stuff and he still owes them R500,000.

As a result, the entertainer says he has been receiving donations from the followers of the podcast. 

He thanked 'Podcast and Chill with MacG' for helping him with his financial woes and for restoring his dignity. 

"Podcast and chill with MacG Sol, Phenduka n Chillers you showed me too much guys, you restored my dignity, God bless," he wrote on Twitter.
