Voiceover artist and actress Leera Mthethwa recently commented on SA's popular retailer Shoprite on social media.
Mthethwa, who previously topped social media trends when she bought a brand new Mercedes-Benz, says she's a big fan of the retailer.
The influencer shared photos of her brand-new car on her Instagram account after Mzansi Magic cancelled the popular telenovela Gomora.
The actress shared on her X account on Tuesday, 9 September 2025, that she's a big fan of Shoprite.
"I’m actually a big fan of Shoprite’s efforts to make sure that as many people eat as possible, no matter how little we have, ❤️" she wrote.
Mthethwa was reacting to social media user @teffo_ME's post about a beef potjie price from the retailer, which cost R8.77.
"Plug for those who stay alone,😭" she captioned the post.

@We_are_doltish reacted:
"I guess this is the glass-half-full perspective, maybe it appears useful, but it is unimaginably dangerous, especially at the group level."
@Masemola_Amo said:
"Shoprite e nkgahlela gore e naganela dichiwana," (What I like about Shoprite is that it accommodates the poor).
@ChaleChipangura commented:
"Shoprite is good, for this whole combo, you can spend the whole week eating the food."
@Aunty_Awful said:
"The cost to cook this is more than the price of the thing. It doesn’t solve the hunger problem at all."
@KatalinaMofoke1 reacted:
"Sometimes you can want something and not be able to afford it, but Shorprite uvele ethi (will say) we got you❤️."

"I stay alone mara nkase loke, ketlo tlhoka packet tse 5 nyana," (This won't be enough for me, I need at least 5 packets).
@EsonasihleM replied:
"I mean, you’d cut the two pieces in half and have four pieces and cook your meat and eat. Oh, and cut a little piece for when you will have to taste if it’s fine or not."
