Unreported World is from Johannesburg, where a new generation of young women known as Slay Queens are monetising dating in South Africa, and inspiring others to follow in their footsteps.

Reporter Symeon Brown investigates whether these women are rewriting the rules of romance, or paying the highest price in a dangerous game.
Slay Queens flaunt luxury lifestyles online funded by wealthy men they call “blessers”, and inspire both admiration and anger. To their followers, they’re glamorous entrepreneurs breaking free from poverty and oppression. To their critics, they’re dangerous gold diggers who blur the lines between dating, sex work, and scams.
Brown meets Eva Modika, self-styled Queen of the North, who insists men are ATMs and that her lavish life is a form of empowerment.
But behind the glitz, Brown uncovers darker realities: women hunted by gangs, and young teenagers who are trafficked after being lured into transactional relationships.

♻️👠💃🔫🎭It is a eco system of takers, man make money, slay queen take money, hood men take slay queen and the cycle continues.
I think it's not a big deal, I mean they are not hurting anyone 😟thou i die of heart attack if my daughter chose this path😢🤧
They keep talkinh about rich man while they eating McDonald for $5 .. 😅😭🤣✌
Keep Nelson Mandela away from your mouths please. That's insulting
So the light skinned girl on the couch stated that she deserves the money because of her skin color. So sad….
It's about the money 💰 🤑 💸 nothing else people don't care
All those goods look fake.
I’m so sick of this slay mentality. U.S. started it and now here we are..
What’s gonna happen when their looks fade and they get old?
I wish I could face palm all these africans. They piss me off so hard and make us look bad
💚💚💚
Its sad though that they chasing " the bags" to not even really see what they do with the money. Taught I was going to see a mansion of some sort at one of the influencers home. But ke, all these risks for what??? Am confused
im just going to finish nursing school and hope for the best. this is pathetic.
Different name for prostitution. 😂😂😂😂😂
So.. they figured they were screwed either way they went, so they're making money off it? I mean it makes sense, but still sad its that bad there that this seems appealing.
they compare themselves to teachers 😂
whoever misled these girls is just heartless, how disrespectful, mentioning Nelson Mandela's name.
😵💫😵💫😵💫😂😂this is embarrassing
"The new Nelson Mandela" 😢
These men only want them for their bodies and these women want money. So, its a fair trade.If there is no demand, there wont be any produce.These men deserve what they got. They know the type of women they want and now they act as the victims. If you want a woman of good character you need to have that too. Also, there is no wrong if a woman is high maintenance, many man ran after them even if they have family.I don’t condone this behaviour but many man, even married are always chasing girls, so they deserve what they get.And for people trafficking girls i hope they are all imprisoned and the women are all free.
15:39 for those of you that are not south african, muti is basically witchcraft.
Oh this is sad, these women have just given up on value, they feel so useless that they have put a price on what is remaining on their pathetic life.
This is so sad 😢
Another day for south Africa to embarrass Africa 😂😂😂 this is embarrassing
