South African beauty influencer and content creator Lungile Thabethe is celebrating a milestone in style. On Monday, 20 October 2025, she picked up her sleek new Range Rover Evoque at a Sandton dealership, sharing the moment with her fans through stunning photos and videos on Instagram.
In her post, Lungile reflected on her journey, highlighting the role of faith and focus in achieving her goals. “Every season has its rewards — this one to myself feels like a quiet reminder that faith, focus, and softness can build beautiful things. #EvoqueEnergy #NewKeys,” she wrote, capturing the joy of the moment.
This milestone comes soon after Lungile allegedly announced she would be selling her newly renovated home following her breakup with boyfriend DJ Speedsta. Valued at over R1.1 million, the Range Rover represents a fresh chapter in her life — one that has fans cheering for her.
Support poured in from friends and fellow celebrities. Her sister and content creator Ayanda Thabethe said: “I’m so proud of you, my angel! What a smoke show!” While musician DJ Zinhle playfully commented, “Come pick me up! Congratulations!”
The news, however, sparked debate online. Some Twitter users questioned how Lungile could afford such a high-value purchase on an influencer’s income.

Sir_Lloyds expressed disbelief: “Not possible. Not even hating. MUA don’t make this much money, even for a movie gig.”
And @Goatttttttttt9 concluded, “A make-up artist can’t afford this car. In conclusion…”
