In a surprising turn of events, South African authorities have opened a case against popular Zimbabwean content creators, Tytie and Kiki, known for their vibrant Facebook presence where they share snippets of their daily lives. The Johannesburg court issued summons to the duo following a complaint lodged against them, marking a significant twist in their otherwise lively online journey.
The incident unfolded when Tytie and Kiki were abruptly awakened by a phone call from a Johannesburg court sheriff, informing them about the legal action. Shocked and anxious, the couple, who are usually known for their playful demeanor, expressed concern over the nature of the allegations brought against them by unspecified parties.
According to Tytie, “We received a call from a court sheriff about a case that [has been] opened in Johannesburg at Sandton Police Station. We don’t know yet the person who opened the case.” The specifics of the case remain unclear, but it appears to be linked to recent online activities, particularly a live video they posted discussing events in Johannesburg.
The controversy intensified when the court demanded Tytie and Kiki remove a recent Facebook Live session and issue a public apology to their substantial following of 800,000. The content creators, who admit to struggling with English, expressed their intent to carefully review the legal documents before taking any further action.
This legal altercation comes shortly after Tytie and Kiki reportedly filed a complaint against fellow Zimbabwean content creators, Nyathi and Mai Nyathi, resulting in the suspension of their Facebook monetization. The situation escalated further when the duo publicized their lawyer’s contact information, urging followers to contact him, which added to the mounting legal complexities.
As Tytie and Kiki navigate these legal waters, their followers eagerly await updates on social media, where their vibrant and sometimes controversial presence has captivated audiences on both sides of the border.
