Michael Andile Dlamini, a successful herbalist from South Africa, has become known as Mzimb’okhalimali (a body dripping with money) after he started wearing a suit made of real banknotes, to show off his wealth, Times reports.
Reportedly, Dlamini started working as a healer three years ago, after finally listening to the voices of his ancestors! The 33-year-old claims that when he was 12, his ancestors spoke to him in his dreams, telling him which trees and plants to mix remedies out of, but he chose to ignore them.
It was only in 2011 that he got same dreams with threats of dire consequences if he did not become a herbalist. He finally decided to become a herbalist and has made loads of money from it. But despite being famous all throughout South Africa for his herbal remedies, Dlamini is even better known for walking around in a “money suit” made up of banknotes.
He started wearing it in 2014, and hasn’t stopped doing it since. “The money I get from people who thank me for helping them gets pinned to my clothes. Wherever I go, people stare,” the controversial man said. And to make sure they don’t try anything more when seeing him walking around wearing a small fortune, Dlamini is always accompanied by several bodyguards.
Dlamini has been wearing his signature money suit to several high-profile events in South Africa, but recently caused controversy on social media, after wearing his blue-and orange banknote attire at the funeral of gospel artiste, which a lot of people found disrespectful.
