A South African life coach has sparked a fierce online conversation after calling out what she describes as selective outrage around gender-based violence. In a post shared on 10 July 2026, certified life coach Lundi made a pointed observation: some women who loudly oppose GBV go quiet the moment the accused is powerful or wealthy.
When status shields abusers
The creator argued that the same people, especially women who would quickly condemn abuse by an ordinary man, will make excuses, shift blame, or try to silence victims when the abuser holds a prominent position in society. TikTok user @lundi_thelifecoach referred specifically to public reaction around King Misuzulu and his wife, noting that many people online had chosen to defend the king rather than extend empathy to the victim.
She labelled those individuals "performers," saying their advocacy for women's rights is conditional and therefore hollow.
