4. Shauwn "MaMkhize" Mkhize

When you thought it couldn't get any worse, it just did! Shauwn Mkhize, the owner of a huge mansion, a football club, a reality show, and a successful businesswoman, was accused of wearing a fake brand.

The Fake Gucci community had flagged several items on MaMkhize. Shauwn's Gucci ace sneakers and jacket made it to the famous page, which was shocking, to say the least.

5. Mohlala Pholoso

Somizi's bestie Pholoso Mohlala was also chastised for wearing "Fake" Gucci clothing. His Gucci belt appeared to be nothing like the "Original." According to ZAlebs, his has square edges as opposed to the well-known, which has round edges.
