Cape Town - ICYMI, claims have surfaced that the latest #VuzuRichKid, Alekssandre Fortunato, isn't as rich as shown on TV.
If you're a fan of the new Vuzu reality show then you know it features young South African kids flaunting their lavish lifestyles in front of the cameras. From partying, shopping, to where they eat out and what they drive, it gives an intimate look of the super wealthy and their families.
But according to Times Live, it turns out Aleks' episode contained false information.
A girl by the name of Andy Dlamini called BS the day after the episode was aired last week Thursday, and this is what she revealed on Twitter:
