Social media users were left shocked by rumours that Trevor Noah struck a R33 million rand deal with the ad for a short tourism ad. The comedian later dismissed these rumours stating that he didn’t get anything close to R33m. And now a video of Springbok star Siya Kolisi promoting SA has been pitted against Trevor’s ad as locals discuss who is the better SA ambassador.

Many praised Siya who they think would not have expected money to promote his country.

In the comment section, social media users instantly brought up Trevor Noah’s alleged R33 million deal.

“Wow Siya he’s giving @Trevornoah a run for who can describe our country the best. I love it,” wrote media personality Penny Lebyane while another social media user said:

“So bad we paid Trevor for nothing 🤷‍♂️, I mean if Siya could do it without expecting anything from government in return why was Trevor compensated for this?”
