Penuel shares 10 lessons from Limpopo Boy's leaked video
Rather than picking sides, Penuel addressed multiple parties in the drama simultaneously — from the couple involved to anyone watching from the sidelines. His list included advice such as not marrying women who are "liberal on social media," vetting your partner thoroughly, getting divorced before cheating, and being cautious about making videos. He also urged people to stop bringing families into marriages only to then betray them, arguing it disrespects far more people than just a spouse.
He rounded off with a straightforward appeal: "Stop cheating. Be careful of making sex videos. Don't go through your partner's phone. That's all from me 🙏"

Mzansi responds to podcaster's reaction
The post landed with a thud for some followers, who felt Penuel was oversimplifying a messy situation.
Here are some of the comments:
@DaliDalimdkz pointed out an omission:
"You forgot to say stop sleeping around with different women and leave them pregnant."
@Thekelo_ raised broader questions about the advice:
"Do we all see RED Flags the same way? Do we value the same things? How much help are we getting nowadays in vetting? What do we mean by vetting in this day and age? What could he have done better or foreseen? Does this say more about him or her? Who do we focus on to solve?"
@Staggzz151714 was unconvinced by the tone altogether:
"Mxm! You are mad. People are worried about bills and the state of the country; now they must behave like security guards on top of that? People cheat every day, and there's nothing you can do except heal and move on."
@sipsboii went further, questioning Penuel's motives:
"I'm starting to understand what Malema meant when he said you're trying to be a 'MacG wannabe.' You seem to comment on almost anything and everything that is trending, just to remain part of the conversation. At this point, it comes across as opportunistic and like clout-chasing."
@Nkosinathi33883 took it personally:
"Penuel, today we have kids who are behaving exactly like Matshidiso, and you know why? It is because of fathers like you."

Some common red flags that indicate it's time to split
Speaking to Briefly News, relationship expert Shelley Lewin shared that when you start a serious relationship, you should pay attention to problematic behaviour early because it can become a bigger problem later.
She said that one such behaviour is avoiding problems; for example, if someone refuses to discuss issues, problems can remain unresolved. She emphasised that deliberately ignoring your partner instead of communicating can damage the relationship.
"Avoiding or refusing to address issues or reacting with silent treatment, or stonewalling, does not resolve issues and can prevent context, clarity, growth and understanding from happening in a relationship and between couples," Shelley Lewin explained.
Penuel responds to Malema over child maintenance
Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that Penuel Mlotshwa’s latest relationship commentary comes after he previously clashed with EFF leader Julius Malema over personal matters.
Malema called out the podcaster over unpaid maintenance during an EFF press briefing in Sandton on 30 July 2026, prompting Penuel to accuse him of weaponising his struggles and vulnerability involving his children.
