A Mpumalanga businessman may have already won the convoy competition at the Durban July scheduled to take place this weekend.
The man, known as Sam Mshengu, is already trending after posting videos and pictures of probably the longest convoy the Durban July has ever seen.
The convoy boasts only top of the range cars and have “Sam” written on their number plates.
Mshengu will apparently be spending R500,000 on petrol only for his 72-car convoy.
He has already renamed the Durban July to “Sam July”.
According to his social media pages, Sam is the director of Sam Holdings Group, a logistics company which boasts at least 50 trucks. He is also in the coal mining industry and apparently transports coal to Eskom.
We are yet to see Tbo Touch’s convoy, if he will have one this year.
Though some on social media have praised his success, others have criticised his decision to spend R23 million on cars.
Check out pictures and videos he shared:
