ANC Mayor Goes into Hiding After Private Video Leak Sparks Outrage

ANC Mayor Goes into Hiding After Private Video Leak Sparks Outrage

A high-ranking African National Congress (ANC) mayor from North West province has reportedly gone into hiding after an explicit video featuring her was leaked on social media. The controversy has reignited discussions on digital privacy violations, cyber exploitation, and the intense scrutiny faced by women in public office.

The video, which surfaced online earlier this week, has led to the mayor’s complete withdrawal from public life. Municipal officials confirm that she has not been seen in days, with colleagues reporting that she has disconnected from the internet, switched off her phone, and missed critical municipal meetings. Concerns over her safety and emotional well-being continue to grow.

Believed to have been recorded in a private setting, the footage was allegedly shared without her consent, raising alarms about the abuse of technology and the growing issue of revenge pornography.

The leak has prompted widespread condemnation, particularly from political figures and women’s rights organizations. Former mayor Dimakatso Malwane denounced the incident, stating, “The mayor’s privacy has been grossly violated. It is unacceptable to shame a woman for her personal choices. The real focus should be on the criminal act committed by those who shared the video, not on the victim.”

Echoing these sentiments, the ANC Women’s League has demanded a full investigation into the source of the leak and called for harsh penalties against those responsible.

This incident follows a troubling pattern of privacy violations targeting high-profile individuals. In 2022, Free State Legislature Speaker Zanele Sifuba faced a similar ordeal when a sex tape was released after she refused to pay an extortion demand. That case ignited a national conversation on the exploitation of women in leadership and the vulnerabilities of digital platforms.

The ANC, now facing increased scrutiny over the scandal, has urged the public to respect the mayor’s privacy. However, political opponents have begun to weaponize the issue, questioning ethical standards in leadership. Political analyst Dr. Karabo Ndlovu emphasized, “This is not a political scandal; it is a crime against privacy and dignity. The mayor is the victim here.”

Authorities have launched an investigation, working with cybercrime units to trace the origins of the leak. Under South Africa’s Cybercrimes Act, distributing private content without consent is a criminal offense, carrying heavy fines and potential jail time. Legal experts are cautioning the public against sharing the video, warning of legal consequences.

As the investigation unfolds, the case has captured national attention—not just in pursuit of justice, but also in shaping the societal response to privacy violations and the treatment of women in leadership.
