A Facebook post of various South African celebrities became a hit on the social media platform. The photos sparked people's interests as they got to see a different side to some popular faces.

Khanyi Mbau, who has become notorious for undergoing cosmetic procedures, was included in the celebrity compilation. People discussed how celebrities have changed over the years, including Makhadzi and Somizi Mhlongo.

In a post on Facebook shared by Favour Vlog, South Africans got to see some celebrities before and after they made money. First in the lineup was Somizi Mhlongo, who had ups and downs in his decades-long career in the entertainment industry. Even though the Facebook post used a photo of someone else, Somizi had a fall from grace between 2006 and 2009, according to TimesLIVE. He had a rough patch as he struggled with an undisclosed terminal illness and financial strain before recovering.

Next was Khanyi Mbau, who has gone through many physical changes. The actress used to be darker-skinned but changed her skin complexion over the years. The photos comparing Khanyi also highlighted that she now sports luxury wings instead of braids like she did in the past.

Kelly Khumalo's photo before she found financial stability also showed a remarkable transformation. The singer has also been subjected to rumours about cosmetic surgery, specifically skin lightening. In the old photos, she sported a simple wig, while in the new photo, she has a long curly HD lace wig and professionally done makeup.

The photo of Limpopo-born musician Makhadzi also left people in awe of how different she looked. After finding success, Makhadzi also changed her cosmetic additions such as hair, lashes and makeup. Makhadzi attracted a lot of attention when she initially changed her aesthetic while in the limelight in 2022.
