“Something Fishy in the Air”: Woman Questions UK Influencers Visiting Cape Town

• A South African radio presenter took to TikTok to share her thoughts about influencers from the United Kingdom visiting Cape Town
• The local woman found the growing presence of the international content creators "fishy" and wanted answers

There's no doubt that Cape Town was voted the best city in the world in 2023, thanks to its rich history and breathtaking beauty. Even so, a local woman recently questioned the growing presence of UK influencers in the city.

UK influencers take on Cape Town

KFM radio presenter Sibongile Mafu took to her TikTok account (@sboshmafu), wondering why certain influencers from the United Kingdom were in the Mother City.

Some of the international influencers included Ayame, Seb Melrose (from Netflix's Too Hot To Handle), cast members from Love Island UK and Ameziane (who, not too long ago, asked Mzansi about Johannesburg's safety).

Sibongile asked in her post:

"Was there some kind of special flight deal that was arranged? Is Cape Town being sold to the world? Why am I scrolling on TikTok and seeing so many of them in the city?"

A suspicious Sibongile also wrote in her caption:

"Something fishy in the air."
