Businesswoman and influencer Gorgeous Mbali, founder of Hermosa Flor Cosmetics, is reportedly facing serious financial challenges, with her company allegedly under debt review. This comes after reports surfaced that the Johannesburg High Court has issued summons against her business over unpaid rental debts at Menlyn Mall and The Pink Warehouse.
According to court documents making rounds on social media, the matter has escalated due to longstanding arrears, raising concerns about the financial stability of the beauty brand. Observers note that once a matter is escalated to the High Court, the amounts in dispute often exceed R400,000, highlighting the severity of the debt.
This is not the first controversy surrounding the brand. Earlier this year, three of Hermosa Flor’s former employees reportedly won their CCMA cases but are still awaiting payment. The developments have sparked online debate, with critics questioning the sustainability of the “CEO lifestyle” portrayed on social media versus the behind-the-scenes financial realities.
While Gorgeous Mbali has not yet issued an official statement regarding the claims, the situation has placed her brand under intense public scrutiny. Many are now waiting to see whether she will resolve the debts and restore confidence in Hermosa Flor.
