The sexual assault-accused actor has been trending for all the wrong reasons since 16 May 2026, after actress Nirvana Nokwe accused him of violating her on set, and the latest video has only added fuel to the fire, causing an explosion of criticism from netizens who are calling out his apparent lack of boundaries.

Initially posted on X (formerly Twitter) in 2022, the video captured Khoza walking through a restaurant and boldly taking a spoonful of food straight from a patron's plate before casually walking away.

While the bizarre clip sparked outrage online, the lady whose food was taken quickly cleared the air, clarifying that the moment was completely consensual and that Bonko had asked beforehand.

The footage arrives at a sensitive time in the actor's life, having had to defend himself through intense public statements following Nirvana Nokwe's heavy accusations of misconduct on the set of Red Ink in 2023.

Briefly News reported on Khoza's statement addressing the allegations, in which he broke his silence to share his side of the timeline while maintaining his innocence.

With the conversation still ongoing, the resurfaced restaurant clip four years later has evolved into more than just a viral moment; it has become a focal point for netizens analysing the actor's past behaviour.
