A video of South African artist Scotts Maphuma has set tongues wagging after it began circulating on X, with social media users accusing him of drinking while driving. The clip, shared by user Haqani_Rsa with the caption ‘Look at Scotts Maphuma flexing while drinking and driving,’ shows the artist behind the wheel with what appears to be a cup in hand. The post quickly gained traction, splitting Mzansi into two very distinct camps.
Mzansi questions what's in the cup
Whether Maphuma was actually drinking alcohol remains unconfirmed, but the video by X user Haqani_Rsa has been enough to ignite a fierce online conversation about celebrity behaviour and road safety in South Africa. Not everyone was ready to throw Maphuma under the bus. Several users pointed out that nobody could confirm the contents of his cup.

Others call for consequences
Those on the other side of the debate were far less forgiving, with some demanding action before tragedy strikes.
SamkelO_o weighed in, writing:
"But to be fair, you don't know what's in the cup."
RealMolao was equally sceptical, asking:
"How did you get to the conclusion that he was drinking and driving?"
TheWaytoJerico echoed that sentiment:
"And how did you get confirmation that the liquid in his cup is alcohol?"
STshwaana took a more relaxed stance, saying:
"Let the guy be & enjoy aslong as is responsible, le yena ke motho."
Bongekile_ did not mince her words:
"Cancel this guy already."
dramadelinquent said she has zero tolerance for the behaviour:
"I despise people who drink and drive - hate them."
Thabo22069 kept things light, referencing what appeared to be a nod to another celebrity in the same boat:
"The theme goes, 'we will be there'; continue, my brother, he must ask shebe Mabena right now! Lol."
