She sold the vital organ for R50K, which upset a lot of people online, who thought she played herself. Nkosi posted a picture of herself resting in bed, smiling, which complemented the caption.

She also took a picture of her medical drip and one of a group of doctors having a brief meeting a couple of kilometres from her hospital bed. Some people thought the now-viral post was for clickbait to drive traffic to her business.

Nkosi is a businesswoman who sells iPhones, wigs and replicas of the hottest sneakers, including Nike and Adidas. The clip about her kidney is her most viral video on TikTok.

She garnered over a million views in 24 hours after posting on Wednesday and responded to a handful of comments under her post’s video.
