Unseen’ Star Siv Ngesi Reveals Girlfriend, Fans Joke: ‘Pole Dancing Paid Off!

Siv Ngesi Sparks Debate on Transactional Sex, Then Soft-Launches Girlfriend on X

South African actor Siv Ngesi recently ignited a heated discussion on X (formerly Twitter) about the normalization of transactional sex in society—but it was his clapback and subsequent “soft launch” of his girlfriend that truly got Mzansi talking.

The Unseen star kicked off the debate by expressing concern over the growing trend, posting:
“Guys, this selling of sex has been normalized, and I’m not talking about sex work. I’m talking about everyday people… How did we get here?”

One user, @plexieym, fired back, accusing Ngesi of hypocrisy by referencing his past pole-dancing videos. Ngesi swiftly defended himself, stating:
“Pole dancing is a sport. I’m not selling anything. People can dance barely dressed—it doesn’t mean anything. Your point again?”

After the exchange, Ngesi shifted the conversation by sharing a loved-up photo with a woman believed to be his girlfriend, leaving fans buzzing. Reactions poured in, with some praising his happiness (@SelfieRunnerZA: “Happiness looks great on you!”), while others teased him about his past antics (@CoolNicey: “I’m sure she’s entertained by your work on the pole!”).

This isn’t the first time Ngesi has stirred controversy. Earlier, he weighed in on the 49 Afrikaner “refugees” who sought asylum in the U.S., quipping:
“They’ll learn America is only ‘perfect’ in the movies!”—a comment that divided social media.
