Lerato Mokelwang is a South African 20-year old woman who has made serious accusations of exploitation. She accuses African Audition, an agency that specializes in casting, of exploiting her. Lerato Mokelwang claimed in a video released on 15 January that she had been misled, embarrassed, and exploited by the casting agency. This incident sparked heated discussions on social media about consent, safety, and exploitation in the modelling business.

It is alleged that an individual known as “Ivo” conducts online auditions of women and girls to upload videos with explicit content. Lerato Mogelwang, who has not filed criminal charges as of the time this article was written, indicated that she intends to seek justice.

Lerato Molelwang says, “I will explore all legal avenues to take the owner of this agency to court.”

African Audition has been the subject of previous warnings, and both authorities and internet users have recently highlighted it. The video released by Lerato Mogelwang sparked a massive reaction on the internet, with public opinion divided between supporting the victim and being sceptical.

Lerato Mogelwang has been endorsed by many social media users, who have stressed that participating in a particular act is not the same as consenting to its distribution, particularly for commercial gains. A commentator stated that the main issue was the unauthorized sharing of private material.

The real question is not participation, but consent to share. The consent of a woman to have an intimate relationship is different from consenting to share. The commentator stated that he was clearly earning money without the woman’s consent.

Others have called attention to the age of Lerato Molelwang and the power dynamics in play. Some supporters argue that older men who are perceived to be in a position of power often target younger women.

She’s just 20. One woman said, “He clearly manipulated her”, noting that Lerato Mogelwang looked visibly uncomfortable on the video.

Lerato Mogelwang, on the other hand, has been criticised by individuals who feel she should have known more about the dangers. Detractors claimed that her agency was well-known and accused of wasteful spending.

This site is not new. She is aware of what she is doing. This country has real crimes that need to be dealt with. Don’t waste resources. “Don’t those who don’t know the consequences of their actions?” commented a user.

The public remains concerned about the safety of women working in this industry despite the negative backlash.

Lerato Mokelwang also addressed the issue of identity theft. She confirmed that the Facebook page claiming to belong to her is a fraud and was reported by Facebook.
