SA Questions Mr Moloto’s New Porsche: “He Works Hard”

• A video showing Mr Moloto, a rehab centre founder in Limpopo, behind the wheel of a R1.4 million Porsche raised eyebrows
• Some viewers made jokes, while others defended him, saying his years of hard work justify the purchase
• The debate highlighted perceptions around wealth and whether social impact work can or should lead to high financial rewards

South Africans were divided after seeing a Limpopo rehab centre founder driving a Porsche, sparking debate about income, lifestyle, and whether leaders in the non-profit sector should be scrutinised for enjoying luxury.

A recent video posted by TikTok user @call_me_codey showed Mr Moloto, the well-known founder of LADGAG rehabilitation centre in Limpopo, stepping out of a brand-new Porsche worth approximately R1.4 million. The video quickly caught fire online, as viewers weighed in on how someone in the field of addiction recovery could afford such a high-end vehicle.

While some joked that he was profiting from addicts, others defended him, arguing that his hard work justified such a purchase. Supporters pointed to the long hours, emotional toll, and real impact his centre has made in helping people turn their lives around. They argued that success in such a demanding field should be celebrated, not criticised.

Luxury Porsche purchase sparks debate

Others were more sceptical. The flashy display of wealth, especially from someone in the non-profit and healthcare sector, sparked concerns about transparency. Questions surfaced about how funds are managed, how rehab centres are run, and whether donors or communities have a right to question how leaders spend their income.

Still, the discussion was more than just about a car. It reflected a deeper conversation about how South Africans view success in community-focused work. Mr Moloto’s Porsche may have stirred debate, but it also brought attention to the work LADGAG does in the rehabilitation space. Whether people approve of the car or not, the conversation raised important questions about leadership, reward, and public trust.
