A South African content creator sparked debate after defending Peet Viljoen's feelings for his wife Mel in a TikTok video posted on 15 July 2026. Bianca, who posts under the TikTok handle @biancasays3, was responding to a viewer's comment that flatly stated Peet did not love Mel. Rather than dismiss the claim, Bianca made a case for a different kind of love, one that does not fit the conventional mould but exists in its own way.
The South African Bonnie and Clyde
To back up her argument, she walked viewers through the footage recorded inside a US police van, showing the couple together after their arrest. In the footage, Peet is seen guiding Mel on how to manage her mental health and understand prison dynamics. At one point, he compared the two of them to Bonnie and Clyde, and the couple shared a laugh despite their circumstances.
For Bianca, that moment said everything. She argued that his calm, practical support in an extremely high-pressure situation was a form of love, even if it looked nothing like what most people would expect.

The video landed differently for many South Africans, who were less convinced by the romance and more struck by the couple's willingness to conspire openly. The comparison that came up repeatedly in the comments was about Thabo Bester and Dr Nandipha Magudumana.

That's why he made her record the other ladies on the Ultimatum Girls Trip🤣. To say she mustn't make friends is so like him."
