- A TikTok video went viral after a woman decided to ghost her partner for sending her a measly R300 as a "treat."
- When the boyfriend checked in to ensure she got the money, her response was sharp and clear: it wasn’t enough.
- Mzansi couldn’t help but weigh in, with social media buzzing about the situation and what it says about relationships today.
Let’s be real for a second. Sending someone money to make their day brighter sounds like a great idea, right? But when the amount is so small that it barely registers as an effort, things can get awkward fast. That’s exactly what happened when a guy tried to surprise his girlfriend with R300, only to have her hit back with a cold shoulder. Yikes!
After he reached out to confirm she’d received the cash, she wasn’t exactly thrilled. In fact, her reply was more of a mic drop moment. She basically told him, “You’re acting like R300 is a big deal.” Ouch.
She Cut Him Off After He Sent ‘Funds’
Now, let’s talk about girlfriend allowances for a minute. There’s no official rulebook here, but people have different expectations based on their lifestyles and the nature of their relationships. Some might think R300 is generous, while others see it as pocket change. In this case, the lady clearly fell into the latter category.

When the boyfriend sent her the money, he probably thought he was doing something nice. But instead of gratitude, he got a lecture about semantics and values. His text, “Have you received the funds?” came off as overly formal for such a small amount, and she called him out on it. She even posted an image with the caption, “I am no man’s peace,” showing just how unimpressed she was.
Let’s break it down: If you’re gonna call it “funds,” you better bring the big bucks. Otherwise, stick to simpler language like, “Did you get the money?” It’s all about setting the right tone, folks.
Mzansi Reacts to the Underwhelming Gesture
Social media lit up like a Christmas tree after the video went viral. Everyone had something to say about the whole ordeal. Some sided with the woman, pointing out that the boyfriend’s wording was off and the amount too small. Others defended him, arguing that every little bit counts.
Take @Roxette Nhlamu Nwa'Chauke, who hilariously suggested the boyfriend should’ve said, “Did you receive your bank charges?” Meanwhile, @anastasiamahlangu joked, “Is that my ex? Because he loved R300.” Clearly, this wasn’t the first time someone had been burned by a stingy partner.
@Benitah Bhero sympathized with the woman, saying, “Not to be ungrateful, but this is so real. He could’ve been more straightforward.” And who could forget @Daisy Mashala’s brilliant comeback? “Insufficient funds.” Classic.
Then there was @ovayo, who hilariously pointed out, “Saying funds as if it’s R100K… please.” And @Kgabo Thamane chimed in with a nostalgic memory, recalling an ex who once referred to R200 as “funds.” Finally, @Laurica summed it up perfectly: “We only use the word ‘funds’ if they’ve sent anything from R500K and up.”

She made it crystal clear that her standards are sky-high—and most netizens agreed that her demands were, well, ambitious.

Regardless of where you stand, one thing’s for sure: communication is key. Whether it’s R300 or R500K, both partners need to be on the same page to avoid drama like this TikTok couple experienced.
