Shock as SA couple 'charge' guests up to R65k to attend wedding
The couple, who married in 2023, spoofed the country by inviting wedding guests to spend thousands of rands to attend their special day.
On the X app, a screenshot of a TikTok prank by the couple quickly went viral.
In it, Tisha and Thabiso Mokoena demanded that guests choose a wedding package to attend their special day.
The price guide contained three categories for table reservations: Bronze for R20 000, which included a bar tab of R5000, a meal platter, and an Instagram tag by the couple
Silver for R30 000, which included first row seating, a bar tab worth R7 500, and a 'VIP pictures' with the couple.
Gold for R65 000, which featured a 'VVIP access to pre-wedding activities', a speech, and a bar tab at over R10 000.
The X post – viewed almost a million times – had many South Africans gawking at the audacity of the couple. However, it was all for laughs as the TikTokers have been known to post comedic posts about love, marriage, and relationships.
One South African who hopped on the gag was media personality Anele Mdoda, who is planning her white wedding.
The 947 presenter reposted the invitation, telling her followers: 'Tickets are selling out fast for our wedding. Early bird tickets are done'.
In April, Anele announced her engagement to partner, Bulelela 'Buzza' James, with a traditional lobola celebration. They are expected to host a grand wedding celebration in the coming months.

'Say it to my face': Herschelle Gibbs claps back at criticism
Retired Protea Herschelle Gibbs has clapped back at criticism of his outspoken social media posts as well as controversial past, which includes allegations of doping, match-fing and that 2010 bombshell memoir. The 51-year-old has often taken jabs at the South African cricket team, particularly captain Temba Bavuma. On his X account, Herschelle Gibbs courted controversy when he seemingly poked fun at International Cricket Council (ICC) Chairman Jay Shah's praise for the debut of a new four-day series tournament. The Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Series between England and India recently ended in a draw. 'You guys wanted test cricket to be 4 days', he posted alongside several laughing emojis. His post saw many irked cricket fans – particularly from India – bring up his controversial career, which included allegations of match-fixing and doping. 'Were you born?' Herschelle Gibbs clapped back at one X user. 'Did you even play international cricket?' he asked another. The 51-year-old's roasts became more personal. 'Shame, did your boyfriend leave you for another woman?' he asked one critic. To another, he shamelessly posted: 'Tell your mom to get off the street corners'. Meanwhile, in a video posted by sports betting agency 10Bet, Herschel Gibbs read out a series of 'mean tweets' about it. 'Next time, say it to my face', the caption read. View this post on Instagram A post shared by 10bet South Africa (@10betza) In 2010, Herschelle Gibbs released his bombshell autobiography To The Point, detailing his life in the limelight as a Protea player. In it, he detailed his sexcapades with dozens of cricket groupies. One particular 'group sex session' took place at Adelaide Hilton Hotel during the 1997/199 Proteas tour. He wrote: 'It was one fat party from mid-evening to the next afternoon. I enjoyed the company of let's say, more than one woman. 'The girls were really up for it .. You picked a girl up (in the hotel's bar), took her upstairs to your room, and afterwards both of you would go back downstairs and you'd go and chat to someone else. It was a phenomenal night.' Herschelle Gibbs' autobiography 'To The Point'. Of his Australian groupies, he said: 'It was like going shopping. From the first day, women were almost falling into our laps virtually every night. Australian women, I can tell you, are not afraid to speak their minds and make it crystal clear what they're after. Herschelle Gibbs' memoir also touched on his short stint in rehab over alcohol and drug abuse, and a six-month ban over his 2000 match-fixing scandal.

Coco speaks out on her fallout with Nozipho Ntshangase
Former The Mommy Club star Nozipho Ntshangase's stepdaughter, Coco, is trending after dropping explosive details about her strained relationship with her. Coco left tongues wagging after taking to Instagram to post a selfie with her new stepmother, Misokuhle. The 25 year old recently married her father, Zola Ntshangase in a stunning traditional and white wedding. On The Mommy Club , Nozipho opened up about how deeply hurt she was by Zola's decision to take a second wife. She shared that she didn't support the idea of a polygamous marriage and chose to walk away. Coco's post sparked harsh criticism from former Real Housewives of Durban (RHOD) star Ameigh Thompson, who appeared to suggest that you can't change a child you didn't birth. The remark didn't sit well with Coco, who has since released a statement addressing Thompson's comments. She further opened up about her complex relationship with her stepmother. Coco shared that she moved in with Nozipho in 2023, but their dynamic has since changed. 'Regarding my relationship with Mama (Nozipho), things have changed. The last time we spoke was when I told her I'll be attending the wedding, and after that, there was silence.' Coco stated their father didn't suddenly decide to marry again but they were misled, but now they know the truth. She hinted that certain details were hidden and implied that the whole story is not yet public knowledge. She believes that one day, her brothers will also speak out and share their side of the story. Coco said attending her father's wedding to Misokuhle was entirely their decision; no one forced them. She said they chose to attend the wedding because they genuinely wanted to support their father. 'We went because we love our father deeply and genuinely wanted to support hmi, during this time. It wasn't about choosing sides, it was about showing love to our parents, simply,' she said. DO YOU THINK COCO WAS WRONG FOR SHARING THE SELFIE?
