An old video of influencer Leleti Nkosi has resurfaced online, once again placing her under scrutiny as investigations involving her husband continue to unfold. The clip, originally shared in 2023, shows Nkosi proudly speaking about her luxury car, describing it as a beast and joking about how people often expect a man to be behind the wheel, only to find her.
However, the resurfacing of the video comes at a sensitive time. Her husband, Siyabonga Moses Goodwill Nkosi, is currently under investigation by the Special Investigating Unit over alleged Eskom-related fraud. Authorities have already secured a preservation order freezing multiple properties and luxury vehicles linked to the case.
Past posts fuel backlash amid investigation
This context has shifted how many people view the old clip by user @ministeryatiktok. What was once seen as a moment of celebration is now being reinterpreted by some as part of a larger narrative around wealth and its origins. Online reactions were mixed but largely critical, with many users saying the situation highlights how a digital footprint can resurface at any time.
