Social media user @Zweli_Thixo took to X on Wednesday, 22 May to share a screenshot of a fake Woolworths website that sells Go-Slo’s snacks.

“Someone stop Tyla, I think she’s trying to ruin our economy, these were cheap snacks for us.”

The website reveals that one packet of Go-Slo’s is sold for R99.99 while one Apple much ice lollie is sold for R16.99 each.

Another social media user @GrettamuambaG asked the retailer: “@WOOLWORTHS_SA, any reason why we buying snacks for R99.99?”

The retailer responded: “Hi Gretta, thanks for reaching out to us. This is a fake website; it does not belong to us.”
