• The 24-year-old influencer hosted her year-end invite-only function in Johannesburg on Saturday, 8 November 2025
• Many netizens couldn't help but agree with Cindy on the alcohol bill issue at Mondlana's party

Bathong, it seems like many peeps and other influencers have a problem with what went down at Grace Mondlana's star-studded, invite-only year-end party that took place this past weekend.

On Sunday, 9 November 2025, the popular socialite, Cindy Makhathini, decided to speak out regarding the award-winning influencer making her 300 guests pay for alcohol at a party she personally invited them to.

As if some of them having to fly themselves to attend the party at their own expense wasn't enough, Mondlana had them buy their own alcohol at the event, as it was not part of the invitation that they would get for free. The price list of her party was leaked on social media, leaving many netizens stunned at how expensive the booze was at the event.

"Same as those weddings where people have to pay for being guests. Why just not make it a low-budget thing that won't demand too much from people??? Their presence is key; that's all you need as the host."

@IamHunadi commented:

"But that is very, very normal. I can't remember the last time I've gone to a party, wedding, where I didn't have to bring a cooler box, Nyana, with booze or where there's a bar and we have to buy our own drinks. Shows you guys don't get invited to a lot of gatherings."
