“This Didn’t Age Well”: SA Stunned by Throwback Clip of Peet Viljoen’s Message to General Mkhwananzi

• An old video of Peet Viljoen seeking General Mkhwanazi's attention with claims to have receipts of the corruption within the SAPS resurfaced
• The arrested lawyer shared the names of the officials he alleged were rogue and claimed to have more juicy details
• Viewers who were only seeing the 2025 clip now found it interesting that he was accusing people of crime when he was now behind bars

Peet and Mel Viljoen have not gotten a break from the media since their recent arrest in America, and the resurfacing of their old clip seems to be an amusement for many.

The couple's older clip, which was initially shared by TikTok @hiddenhandchronicles on 24 October 2025, gained massive views and hundreds of comments from stunned viewers.

In a provocative address, Peet Viljoen targeted several high-profile South African figures, claiming to have receipts that prove long-standing corruption. Addressing General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi, he alleged that General Sibiya had been receiving illegal payments from businessman Zunaid Moti since 2007.

The businessman also turns his attention to forensic investigator Paul O'Sullivan, accusing him of switching sides in 2012 to assist Sibiya in his alleged criminal dealings. In TikTok user @hiddenhandchronicles’s video, Peet emphasised that every corruption conviction should lead to prison time. He also promised to reveal more juicy evidence involving lawyer Ian Small-Smith on his wife Mel's podcast.

The clip gained 228K views and over 400 comments from social media users who shared mixed views. Many viewers were shocked to see that the couple were still bothering themselves about South African news and asked if they weren’t enjoying life in the US. Some went to listen to Mel's podcast and came back saying that Peet was indeed sharing juicy details. Those who only saw the couple's video after their arrest found it very funny that they were accusing other people of a crime, when they, too, were accused of a criminal activity.
