He stated that he did not leave South Africa because of financial limitations. On the contrary, he decided to relocate because he had money. Owusu said the decision to travel was motivated by security considerations more than financial reasons.

"For foreigners, South Africa is a frightening country. It takes a lot of effort to get there. That country is fine for its citizens but not for visitors. Someone could simply kill you at random. I didn't relocate to the US to hustle because I had $100,000 in my bank account,'' Owusu recounted.

Eric Owusu's earnings in South Africa

The US-based Ghanaian man stated that while he was successful in South Africa, he could not stay.

"In Pietermaritzburg, I owned and managed four salons that employed 30 employees. I earned about $4000 per week from the salons. It's a successful business in South Africa and my wife was also a banker. I discussed going on the trip with my wife, but she refused to leave. As a result, we sold one of our homes and I gave her two salons," he told DJ Nyaami on SVTV Africa.
