Trevor Noah’s Clears Air on His Alleged New R33 MiLLION Gig

SA TV host Trevor Noah allegedly bagged a new deal recently. He is to promote South Africa as a tourism hub in a five-minute video.

Reportedly, each minute of the video costs R6.6 million, hence Trevor Noah would be paid R33 million for the five-minute video.

This has caused so much saga online as South Africans protested that the money would be taken from taxpayers’ pockets.

The media personality is currently on his Savannah Premium Cider South African Tour. He touched down in Durban Friday night and took his time to clear the issue.

Noah spoke to Carol Ofori on East Coast Radio. He said:

“This is the thing … I’ve learnt about media online is that people don’t read or they just write articles. Sometimes, I just think it’s AI that’s writing these articles.

“First of all, there is nothing with SA tourism. No one from SA Tourism approached me; there’s nothing from government. I was talking to hotel groups, cause you know South Africa, we need to boost our tourism.

“(It is) one of the most important sources of our GDP and so I was just talking to these guys, who own hotels, Airbnbs, game lodges, and safaris, about how we can promote South Africa to the world.

“And then I wake up, guys, I wish I had all this money that these people gave me in these newspapers,” Trevor said.

Jokingly, Noah said the ruckus caused unnecessary attention and now, friends and family want loans from him.
