South African actress Maumela Mahuwa, recognized for her portrayal of Susan in Muvhango, has drawn significant attention on social media after a photo showing her selling fruits and vegetables went viral.
This particular image, posted by user @miShumoZA_, implied that Mahuwa might be experiencing financial challenges following the conclusion of the soap opera’s lengthy 28-year airing in 2025.
The tweet stated: “Muvhango actress is struggling. She’s now selling fruits and vegetables on the streets,” which provoked a surge of responses across various platforms.
However, supporters of Mahuwa quickly came to her defense, arguing that engaging in street selling does not necessarily indicate financial distress.
“What makes you say she is struggling just because of selling fruits?” inquired @zeusblxckthe1st, while @Mimi_Shoki remarked: “You are lying, this lady is not struggling, you should watch her live on TikTok.”
Another commenter, @chrisnkuna, added: “She’s making more money now than she ever did as an actress, so she’s clearly not struggling.”
