A South African family has been plunged into deep distress following a shocking revelation that left an elderly grandmother hospitalised after a suspected heart attack.
According to sources close to the family, the grandmother collapsed after learning that her granddaughter—whom she believed worked as a waitress at a restaurant—has allegedly been earning a living as an escort. The revelation came after a video surfaced online in which the young woman openly admitted to being involved in prostitution.
The video, which quickly went viral and sparked widespread debate and outrage on social media, shows the young woman calm and unapologetic as she speaks about her lifestyle. She even claims that she met the love of her life through her work, stating that she was his first intimate partner.
What has deeply unsettled many viewers, and especially her family, is the stark contrast between her public confession and the image she had maintained at home. Relatives described her as a “down-to-earth church girl” who had reportedly convinced her grandmother that she earned an honest living working as a waitress.
The grandmother, affectionately known as Magogo, is said to be devastated by the discovery. Family members explain that she raised the girl from infancy, instilling strong Christian values and teaching her the Bible. She had high hopes for her granddaughter’s future and never imagined discovering her on an adult platform.
Witnesses say the emotional shock of seeing her granddaughter speak confidently about her involvement in the escort industry proved too much for the elderly woman, resulting in her being rushed to hospital.
The incident has reignited national conversations across South Africa, often linked to the broader African Audition affair, about youth guidance, morality, and the growing influence of online adult platforms. Many social media users are calling on authorities to take a closer look at casting agencies and websites they believe are exploiting young people.
“This should be a wake-up call,” one commentator wrote. “Our children need guidance, support, and protection before they are lured into lifestyles that destroy families.”
As the grandmother remains under medical care, the story continues to fuel debate about parenting, social values, and the responsibility of platforms operating within the country.
