In early January this year, X users were left buzzing after a video of African National Congress (ANC) member Boy Mamabolo kissing an unknown woman went viral. The video was reportedly taken at the party’s 112th birthday celebrations.
After he was blasted as a cheater, he came out to defend himself by saying that it was a kiss between comrades and nothing more. He has also embarked on what many are calling damage control by sharing many photos of his “happy family”.
And now the ANC official has decided to take his wife along with him on his work trips and shared photos of the two of them attending the party’s manifesto last week.
Kissing and telling: ANC’s Boy Mamabolo’s smooching trouble
Boy, Mamabolo found himself at the top of X trends last month after he was recorded kissing a woman at the ANC’s birthday celebrations.
In the clip, Mamabolo can be seen kissing the woman dressed in ANC regalia on the mouth.
After social media users blasted the politician for cheating, he quickly defended himself. According to him, it was an innocent kiss between cadres.
“Nope, I was not cheating on my wife. She is my cadre, and there is nothing wrong with kissing my own comrades. I’m not sleeping with them,” Mamabolo told The Citizen.
Happy wife, happy life?
It would appear that Mamabolo has found the perfect way to avoid any such future troubles — by getting his beautiful wife to tag along with him.
Last week, the ANC held its manifesto ahead of the country’s national elections, and right by Mamabolo’s side was his wife.
Taking to X, he shared a photo of the two of them and left social media users buzzing.
“So this time you decided to go with her?” one person said while another wrote:
“She made sure that she guard you this time because you can’t control yourself around that comrade.”
