South African social media is once again in meltdown after a leaked video allegedly involving a UNISA student and controversial online figure Ivo Suvee began circulating across WhatsApp groups, Telegram channels, and X (formerly Twitter). While the clip itself has not been officially verified, its rapid spread has ignited heated debate around privacy, exploitation, and the growing culture of viral scandals.
Online users are sharply divided. Some have rushed to condemn the alleged exploitation of young women through so-called “auditions,” while others are questioning the authenticity of the video and warning against trial-by-social-media. Calls are growing for authorities and institutions to investigate the wider allegations surrounding these viral clips, as concerns mount about consent, manipulation, and reputational damage.
As the controversy unfolds, many South Africans are urging caution—reminding the public that sharing unverified or intimate content can have serious legal and personal consequences. For now, the story remains fluid, with more developments expected as pressure builds for clarity and accountability.
