SA Reacts to Grace Mondlana’s Party Alcohol Price List: “I Thought They Were Getting Alcohol Free”

• Award-winning content creator and influencer Grace Mondlana hosted her first year-end party in Johannesburg
• An online user criticised the star's alcohol price list at her invite party, mentioning that Mondlana ripped off her guests
• Many netizens had mixed reactions to the price list, as they flooded the comment section with their opinions

This past weekend was the biggest and one for the books for the award-winning content creator Grace Mondlana as she hosted her first-ever year-end invite-only party that had 300 guests; however, the star faced backlash on social media regarding her "expensive" alcohol price list.

On Sunday, 9 November 2025, an online user @realnorma_kay vented out on X (formerly Twitter) about Mondlana's exuberant bev prices she charged at her star-studded party over the past weekend, questioning if it was a money laundering scam or a party.

The online user was shocked by the influencer hosting a party where many influencers had to fly themselves out to attend this one-day event, and on top of it all, they also had to spend a lot of money at the party, not to mention that they also had to buy outfits for the themed party.

"I thought they were getting alcohol free."

@BlackCrystalMia defended Grace Mondlana:

"She had stalls of businesses selling their own products at their prices, blaming her for what that business set is wired and also aren't those the same prices y'all pay at clubs and restaurants? The difference is literally R30 bucks."

@Kwanele_bani responded:

"I wonder if they knew booze was on them, or if they found out once they got there. With those prices, they paid for that party. Moët R1800 and Corona R600, she's mad."

"Yes, I wouldn't expect her to buy alcohol for 300 people, but the alcohol could have been cheaper ke."
