Cassper Nyovest has reportedly donated R50 000 to the student fundraising initiative at the University of Witwatersrand.
The Gauteng Provinvial government confirmed this in a status update posted to Twitter.
“Cassper Nyovest contributed R50K to the student fundraising initiative at Wits University,” read the tweet. It was accompanied by a picture of a smiling Cassper standing next to Gauteng Premier David Makhura.

Earlier this week, Cassper met with Makhura to discuss how the government could support the South African entertainment industry.

Cassper’s generous move has left many social media users confused, especially since the rapper has claimed he was broke in the build-up to his Fill Up FNB Stadium concert.
He recently revealed that he was so broke, he was even considering selling his Bentleys.
Some users thought that R50 000 was not enough money, since that amount would barely cover the tuition fees at Wits University for one student.
These were some of the comments on Twitter:
“Not to disparage Mufasa or to seem ungrateful but R50K at Wits barely covers the fees of one student. Well judging from my own fee statement. However it will make a difference, thank you Cassper.”
“R50k is not enough.”
“Sorry Cassper but you get millions and you even sing about it in your songs and you send R50k. Expected more from you and you even have MTN by your side.”
Many fans called Cassper a hero and applauded his generosity as they were grateful for the donation.

Last year Cassper donated R50 000 when the Wits SRC launched a campaign to raise R10 million for students who had outstanding debt.
