According to The Citizen, an expert claimed that the couple could face deportation. Although the deportation might not be imminent, they still face pretty serious charges.

Now, Mzansi has brought back some old and some recent TikTok videos of Mel and Peet making unfounded claims about South Africa.

In the clip shared by @GUCCIAIRBAGZ, which was captioned, "Kind of comedic that they were arrested after spewing this garbage," Peet asked Mel why she felt an urgency to leave South Africa.

Mel responded, "It's so scary for me in South Africa now. I couldn't wait to leave. Like this is not gonna end, and with the BEE laws and all the anti-white laws that are kicking in in SA, it gives black people the feeling that they have more power and that they can do what they want," she alleged.

Peet then added his views on the land without compensation talks, claiming that the people in power can take more than just land. He then hailed President Donald Trump, saying, "He is cleaning up." The couple had relocated to the United States, where they stayed for a few months prior to their arrest.

Comedian jokes about Mel and Peet's arrest

In a previous report from Briefly News, a comedian and musician by the name of Bouwer Bosch pointed out how the couple would spew hate towards a certain demographic, pinning crime on them.

He said their arrest was a lesson to people that crime has no skin colour, as claimed by the Viljoens. Mzansi seems to agree with Bouwer as their comments are in support of his sentiments.
