A shocking incident has left residents in the North West reeling after a private video of the local mayor went viral on social media. The video, showing her in a compromising situation, has caused outrage, with many calling for accountability over the invasion of her privacy.
Tumelo Maruping, spokesperson for the ANC in North West, has strongly condemned the circulation of the video, labeling it as inhumane and unacceptable. He emphasized that the party stands firm against the abuse of women and pledged to investigate the matter thoroughly. Maruping further assured that the investigation would determine whether the mayor is a victim or if there were any wrongdoings involved.
When approached for comment, the mayor did not respond to the inquiry directly. Instead, she requested to be sent the video in question, sparking further curiosity about her involvement in the situation.
The controversy is not isolated, as a member of the Free State Legislature has also recently found herself in a similar scandal, highlighting a troubling trend of private content being shared without consent. Both incidents have sparked widespread debates on privacy rights and the treatment of women in the public sphere.
