Since Sunday, August 9, 2026, Limpopo Boy and Matshidiso Matilda have dominated South African headlines after an alleged video involving them began circulating online.
The footage has sparked widespread discussion about Matshidiso’s marriage and Limpopo Boy’s alleged involvement.
The controversy has also attracted strong reactions from members of the public, with social media users divided over who should take responsibility.
Limpopo Boy has now addressed the situation in a statement dated August 12, 2026, explaining his position and apologising to those affected.
Limpopo Boy apologises and denies homewrecker claims
In a statement shared by popular South African outlet MDN News, Limpopo Boy apologised for his poor judgement and the pain caused by the situation, particularly to the Shai family.
According to the dancer, he was raised in a Christian family that respects the sanctity of marriage and condemns adultery and infidelity.
He said he only discovered that the woman was married after the alleged video had been leaked and admitted that he should have independently verified her marital status.
“I should have independently verified her marital status before sharing a private moment with her. Instead of doing that, I threw caution to the wind and I’m now paying the price for my poor judgement,” he stated.
Limpopo Boy also apologised directly to the Shai family, saying he understood the pain the situation had caused them.
“That’s not how I was raised. I’m not a home wrecker,” he said.
The dancer further indicated that he did not want to be defensive about the situation but wanted to approach it with humility and accept responsibility for his actions.
“I am choosing humility over defensiveness. I am choosing to listen, reflect and learn from my mistakes,” Limpopo Boy wrote.
The statement in which Limpopo Boy addressed the alleged video controversy and expressed remorse to the Shai family is below.
