Fans hail ‘king of bling’ on net - Mbatha likened to mob boss Al Capone

FRIENDS and fans of Pretoria’s King of Bling William “Mashobane” Mbatha are supporting him on the Internet as he sits in prison awaiting his fate. Now the King of Bling has a group named after him on the social networking site Facebook.

The creator of the group makes it clear that the group is meant for “those who just love Mashobane and the flair he brings to Pretoria mahlanyeng”. The die-hard fans posted comments praising Mbatha, with many comments sounding like lines from a gangster film. And as far as they are concerned, “crime does pay – if you are smart enough”. One supporter likened him to the late Chicago Mafia boss Al Capone, calling Mbatha “Pretoria’s Al Capone”. Another said: “The guy rocks for making it in this dog-eat-dog world by showing us that even we small fishes (sic) can become big fishes.”

Pictures of luxury cars, guns, expensive champagne and Mbatha wearing expensive clothes festoon the site. Another fan gave this advice: “Hustle hard my people, no one will get paid if you don’t get that f#@*&% money yourself. Get rich or die trying. “Every one knows that the top feels better than the bottom.”
