Actress and DJ Thuli Phongolo faces criticism over her real estate venture after property listings appeared online. Social media users accused Phongolo Properties of reselling government-allocated RDP houses through the company she operates with her sister, Marcia. The business markets township homes across Soweto with prices spanning from R370,000 for a Braamfischerville RDP unit to R1.5 million for a 12-bedroom Mapetla property. Facebook page listings generated mixed responses from potential buyers and observers. Some users praised efforts to address housing shortages, while others questioned property conditions and pricing strategies.

Critics described the marketed homes as appearing abandoned and overpriced for their current state. One commenter noted persistent crime concerns near the expensive Mapetla listing and mentioned unsuccessful previous sale attempts. The controversy follows Phongolo's earlier property investments this year when she purchased a luxury residence and listed her mansion at R7.3 million. Public reaction highlights ongoing debates about township property development and access to affordable housing. The real estate business represents Phongolo's expansion beyond entertainment industry activities.
