Claim 1: “Amerika reik lasbriewe uit vir die Viljoens ná hulle terugkeer na Suid-Afrika”
SINGLE SOURCE
While web search results mention Peet and Mel Viljoen and a 'dramatic exit from the US', the specific claim that the US issued 'restraining orders' (lasbriewe) is not corroborated by multiple independent sources. One search result mentions they would be arrested if they attempt to re-enter the US, which is different from a restraining order issued after returning to SA.
