Gospel Star Hlengiwe Mhlaba Stuns in R28K MaXhosa Dress, Snaps Have Mzansi Trolling Her: “Hot Mess”

• South African gospel singer Hlengiwe Mhlaba recently wore a MaXhosa dress that cost R28 000
• The Sweet Jesus hitmaker's lush outfit went viral on Twitter, with many people saying they were unimpressed by how she wore it
• Some Mzansi peeps defended Hlengiwe, saying she deserves to spoil herself because she works hard

Gospel star Hlengiwe Mhlaba has many people side-eyeing her stylist after she failed to impress them when she wore a MaXhosa dress worth R28 000.

The MaXhosa fashion brand is South Africa's Gucci. Many celebrities, including John Kani, have worn it to international film premieres. According to The Citizen, the fashion brand's unique print has been allegedly copied by high fashion brands such as Italy's Etro.

Seeing Hlengiwe wearing a Maxhosa gown that cost an arm and a leg was no surprise, as she is one of the leading Mzansi gospel stars. The Esphambanweni hitmaker has been in the music industry for over a decade and has sold numerous albums, earning her awards such as the Crown Gospel Awards.
