In the video, Cyan Boujee condemned social media users for criticising the late cousins for the alleged party lifestyle they led. She declared that South Africa is no longer a safe country for women and pointed out that what happened to the cousins can happen to anyone.

“Regardless of everything. The time, what they were wearing, what they were drinking, the age, it doesn't matter, for the fact that they didn't come home, what are we doing about that? South Africa is not safe for women anymore. It can happen to your cousin, your friend, your girlfriend, your best friend, whoever it is, it can happen to any of us,” Cyan Boujee said.
