Nota Baloyi Says Men Are Bigger Victims Amid Kempton Park Serial Killer Scare

• Nota Baloyi took to X to weigh in on the Kempton Park murders, claiming men face greater safety risks than women
• His comments came as police investigate the deaths of five women found in similar circumstances around Kempton Park since July 2026
• Mzansi pushed back hard at Nota, with many pointing out that men are largely killed by other men, not by women

Nota Baloyi has stirred up fresh controversy after wading into the Kempton Park serial killer conversation with a take that has left many South Africans fuming.

The controversial podcaster posted on X on 14 September 2026, arguing that men are statistically killed at a higher rate than women and therefore face greater danger. His post read: "Among all the serial killer hysteria there's the fact that men are being killed at a far greater rate; men are less safe than women are... Those are just the facts. Now couple that with how much fewer the culprits are than the women victims & also find that more men are victims!"

Nota's comments and the Kempton Park context

His remarks did not emerge in a vacuum. Police are currently investigating the deaths of five women whose bodies were discovered in similar circumstances around Kempton Park since July 2026. The case has gripped the country and sparked widespread fear, particularly among women. Nota had earlier questioned why anyone would feel safe jogging alone in the area, adding that he himself drives cautiously through Kempton Park at night and accused running club members of dismissing genuine safety risks.

Despite the gravity of the ongoing investigation, Nota pivoted the conversation toward broader crime statistics, drawing immediate backlash.

Mzansi reacts to Nota's post

The responses were swift and, for the most part, sharply critical.

@Konohanin7 reflected on personal experience: "The country is just not safe and I see people talking about it but it's been that way for a while now, robbed with a knife and gunpoint, I know I'm not safe outside."

@Past_2Present pushed back directly: "The death of a woman cannot be compared to that of a man. Women are more vulnerable, they are like children, and we have to be sensitive toward them, given that it is men who are doing the killing. Men are not as vulnerable to other men, you cannot easily kill another man."

@davidmmotaung was blunt in his dismissal: "Moral authority se gat! Are those men killed women? You are trying and failing to sound like an intellectual for clicks when people are losing their children! A possible serial killer is in the loose! Get it? Stop your!"

@Zd_prime added: "You are very toxic, men are killing women. Yes 90% of all homicide cases the victim is a man, but it's men killing men not women killing men."

@Tshepza was one of the few voices that agreed: "I fully agree with you. Look at Cape Town murders. People are being killed like flies. Mostly men."

@BNwaila kept it short: "And who killing all those men????? Other men."

@Wizygirl8h summed up a sentiment shared by many: "Women are killed by men, men are also being killed by men. Who is the problem?"
