Love was definitely in the air this Valentine’s Day, and Dr Malinga made sure to make it extra special for his wife.
The popular musician and social media sensation set timelines ablaze when he gifted his wife a sleek Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon, proving once again that grand romantic gestures never go out of style.
Dr Malinga Gifts His Wife a R2.2 Million Mercedes-Benz
Dr Malinga took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the heartfelt moment when he surprised his wife with the luxury ride.
In the now-viral video, the singer can be seen revealing the extravagant gift, captioning the post: “14 February is our Valentine and congratulations.”
The post quickly gained traction, with fans and followers showering him with praise.
Many were impressed by the grand display of affection, while car enthusiasts wasted no time pointing out the hefty price tag of the vehicle.
The base price of a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon in South Africa starts at R2 million, depending on the model, year, and custom modifications.
A Valentine’s Day to Remember
Dr Malinga’s romantic gesture comes just days before the official Valentine’s Day celebrations.
Over the years, South African celebrities have gone all out for the occasion, with Lerato Kganyago’s husband famously setting the bar high with extravagant gifts—including partial ownership of a hotel.
Seeing Dr Malinga join the ranks of lavish Valentine’s Day gift-givers has left many fans convinced that he has bounced back financially.
This follows his well-documented struggles with the South African Revenue Service (SARS), where he faced a staggering R2 million tax bill that led to the auctioning of several of his assets, including his car and furniture.
From Financial Struggles to a Fresh Start
In 2022, Dr Malinga found himself in the headlines after revealing his financial woes.
Fans and fellow celebrities quickly rallied behind him, offering donations to help him settle his debts.
His latest extravagant purchase suggests that he has successfully turned things around, and his supporters couldn’t be happier.
However, this isn’t the first time Dr Malinga’s name has been linked to high-end cars.
In the same year, rumors swirled that he had splurged on a R5 million McLaren shortly after receiving public donations. He quickly shut down those claims, clarifying that the luxury sports car wasn’t his.
Dr Malinga’s Growing Car Collection
Last year, he once again made waves when reports surfaced that he had added a R2 million BMW to his impressive collection.
Whether or not these purchases are accurate, one thing remains certain—Dr Malinga knows how to make a statement.
