I’ve heard that some beggars make more money than people with full-time jobs. I’m going to see if that is true.
After being ignored by a few drivers, the content creator shared how money soon began trickling in.
In the first hour, Dodgen made R68. After a few, he earned about R500.
Comparing himself to street vendors, he said: “The less you do, the more money you make”.
