Musa Khawula posted, “Sni Mhlongo shows off her new teeth, which she purchased for R200 000 in Turkey. Take a look at Sni Mhlongo’s teeth before and after the veneers worth R200 000.”

Musa Khawula’s post has since thrust Sni Mhlongo into the top trends. Since it dropped on X, the post has gained thousands of comments and reactions.

Fans were quick to take a swipe at Sni Mhlongo as they accused her of lying.

An X user commented, “Never, she is lying. Everyone goes to Turkey because it’s cheaper there. A full set of veneers ranges from $3400 to $7000 max, less than the amount she mentioned.”

Another user, @LEELOW_s, added, “No teeth cost R200 000 in Turkey. Lies. I was in Turkey two weeks ago for my teeth. No way. We go there because it is cheap. They have a very weak currency.”

Against the trends, The South African was quick to connect the dots about the prices of teeth in Turkey.
