Elton – who was last signed to French club Agen – is charging fans R650 for the experience.
In a video message, he said, “Instead of writing a book, it’s like having a live chat or having a few questions from my fans and friends.
He added: “It’s for me to answer as honestly as possible, just to get to know more about me…on and off the field.
“It’s going to be fun…nothing too serious. When it’s the time, we can also get serious.”
