Most recently, Ndoyisile risked cancellation again when he shared his thoughts after an undocumented Zimbabwean in South Africa asked for help. South Africans slammed the content creator who shared his stance on the matter.

In a TikTok live snippet that has since spread to X, Ndoyisile, a content creator from Zimbabwe, posted a video where he was asking people why they are outraged about foreigners getting access to medicine in South Africa. He said that the pills that people were angry about were not South African products and were free from foreign NGOs. He said:

"We can't fight over pills. Free pills that you don't even cook, pills that you don't even pay for yourself, pills from the outside. Pills that would help someone protect themselves and their unborn child? You make noise about pills, you get angry over pills. I am scared of y'all."

Ndoyisile's video came after outrage over an undocumented Zimbabwean migrant who sought healthcare for her son in South Africa. Many locals felt that she had no right to ask for help as an undocumented foreigner in the country.

South Africa drags Zimbabwean TikToker

Various posts on X criticised Ndoyisile's hot take. Peeps argued that simply because the pills come from NGOs does not mean that they do not cost any money.

@1800_nthati commented:

"You guys keep watching him. What did he say about people from Tembisa and Mall of Africa?"

@phuti_mathobela noted:

"It's this the same guy who said Mall of Africa is always packed?"

@VuyoTranscends argued:

"The pills are bought with taxpayer money."

@MissVoo1 agreed:

"If you’re benefiting from a system you didn’t build, the least you can do is show respect, not arrogance. And if you’re spreading lies about “free pills “, you’re part of the problem. That medication is paid for by South African taxpayers."

@ngingulungelo wrote:

"There's nothing as free pills in the whole world, and in SA, someone is paying for it. Even donated ones don't exist now, we pay with our taxes and levies."

@DeeCover611 was annoyed:

"It’s that one who was disrespecting Tembisa people."
