Some might say it's a man's duty to cover the bill when going out, while others agree that it should not be expected. 

After a tweet by radio DJ and musical artist Mo Flava, the Breakfast with Martin Bester discussed whether men should indeed be expected to pay the bill.

Flava's tweet read: "A group of ladies just told the waiter to bring their bill of R3394 to me and I must pay…why would I pay for drinks ordered by people I don’t even know? Tf have people become". 

Traffic presenter and actress Philicity Reeken stated that she finds it "quite" chivalrous if a man pays the bill at a restaurant, but that this is not expected.
