What's trending, September 3

@PhilMphela I watched this #PodcastAndChill special on Russian Gate. My thoughts:
Siya is not being fully transparent;
Why is Siya not willing to share the name of the Dubai company?
Sway Digital should have released a statement as soon as Cyan video blew up.
Siya doesn’t get that he is the villain because he is not willing to acknowledge that just because there are no South African girls trafficked yet, it doesn’t mean the programme was without problems.

@komenotorie And just to ask, would i be wrong to think that maybe Munaka’s account/s got saved because she left the platform, and Seema and Zille may have suffered because of the platform? Would be dragging it too far? Maybe also other accounts suffered due to their users’ ‘transgressions’.

@kuuhlaa Proof that Cyan Boujee knew that there was something wrong with the Russian program with girls crying and she warned them to make this program more legit so more influencers can work with them. Shameless!

@LungiiMashele I just saw this on TT and I’m speechless She saw all of that and still continued to promote this nonsense??? Yoh!

@LadySkollie I love how dumb she is; doubling down and exposing more evidence to your own detriment??????? There will never be another generation like this one.

@MbekezeliMB Cyan Boujee knew weeks ago that people’s children were being forced into slave labour in a Russian prison and she went ahead and promoted it on her social media where millions of girls follow her.

@noluzuma So Cyan was concerned about the girls she’d interviewed while in Russia but came home and continued with the promo?

@Zah_Khanyile Yet she returned to promote the very same dangerous scam... FULLY AWARE of what she was doing, selling out millions of desperate young women in need of employment😡 Lo Cyan was swearing and blocking anyone who dared to call her out. Lord Mkhwanazi do your thing sir.

@MntwanaThokoza1 I wish Cyan and her Russian mob can shoot first #mkhwanazi I want to see something.

@g4swater MacG tried so hard to clean the mess for his kids, even Seemah faking tears, then boom Cyan comes and makes things worse.

@EliahHunt Cyan provided evidence that they knew what was going on, she’s only crying because of her followers.
