Producer and social media personality Tebogo G Mashego has sparked fresh debate online after alleging that he narrowly escaped a human trafficking operation during a night out across Pretoria and Sandton. He made the revelation during a live stream on his Instagram page on 1 August 2026, recounting events that he says left him deeply unsettled.
According to G Mashego, the ordeal began innocuously enough, with a man messaging him online claiming to sell iPhones. The two arranged to meet in person at Propaganda Nightclub in Pretoria, where the stranger then presented himself as a nightclub owner and persuaded G Mashego to come see his venue.
The group, which included several friends and a number of girls totalling nine people alongside G Mashego, piled into cars and headed towards Sandton.
Suspicious cars and a missing nightclub
It was during the drive that G Mashego says alarm bells started ringing. He claims he spotted a separate vehicle carrying three white men he did not recognise trailing their convoy. Upon arriving in Sandton, he says they pulled up not at a nightclub but at a residential apartment complex. Things reportedly turned sinister at that point.

G Mashego alleges the men openly stated they wanted the girls in his group, even pushing him to source more, with the apparent intention of trafficking them. He says he refused to have any part in it. During the live stream, G Mashego made clear he was not rattled by the men.
"These people do human trafficking. I'm not afraid of any of you. I'm a drug dealer; you're small boys to me."
He also directed a pointed warning at young women chasing a glamorous lifestyle.
"Stop acting like struggling baddies; these people are going to traffic you."
