SANDTON — A local influencer has publicly thanked God, her team, and the brand that did not pay her, in an acceptance post that observers describe as "gracious under the circumstances." The brand, which supplied one gifted hamper and a discount code, was named first among equals. The influencer expressed gratitude for the opportunity, the journey, and the exposure, which remains the only currency to have changed hands. Her team, understood to be her cousin, was thanked warmly. God was thanked last but is believed to be the only party who contributed without an invoice. The code is still live.
