"R20K for Cape Town? You guys were overspending. People go to Thailand for 8 days with that amount."

"R20K including accommodation and transport plus food? I'm going to Cape in three days."

"I can spend that amount going to Europe."

@lebomasisihlabane shared:

"I flew with my husband and 2 kids, 4 nights and 5 days stay and we used that R20K. So I'd say for 2 people it's a lot."

"R20K is too much for CPT but I might be wrong."

@kurtoz5 stated:

"Eish, R20K, I've visited Turkey, Egypt and Thailand and my budget is always around R10K, only Egypt was like R15K, because it was very last-minute. I'm from CPT and it's ridiculously expensive here."

@GentlePropertyGuy mentioned:

"Getting more tempted to take the job offer I was given that side as I am still thinking about it."

@Resego_Letlhogile added:

"This was very informative and straightforward. Thank you."
