Teboho Mokoena is under fire after a video emerged showing him using a mobile device while driving, prompting discussions about safety on the roads.
The video, which was posted on X on Monday, 6 April 2026, features the Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana midfielder apparently recording video content while driving.
In the recording, Mokoena appears to be focused on his phone as he drives, which quickly attracted attention on social media.
The original post came from a user known as @The King of Trolls, who voiced disapproval of the footballer’s behavior, indicating that he was jeopardizing his safety for content creation.
“The ever-smiling Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana Bafana midfielder is enjoying his ride while putting his life in danger because of content creation,” the post read.
As the video gained popularity, the public’s response was mixed, with many expressing their worries about the hazards of using a phone while driving, particularly for someone in Mokoena’s position as a public figure.
“This is reckless and dangerous,” commented @NhlanhlaNkosi, while @mabetie9405 noted, “Phone and driving doesn’t go along.”
Some emphasized his role as a potential influence on others, with @StHonorable stating, “Imagine, the whole man whom we trust is busy risking his life,” and @WitOnTheWire cautioning, “They forget they are role models mxm #arrivealive.”
