Pastor Zondo video investigated

Ukhozi FM will launch an investigation after a video allegedly showing well-known motivational speaker and religious leader Pastor Sthembiso Zondo in the nude went viral yesterday.

SABC spokesperson for Ukhozi FM Kaizer Kganyago said the station had been made aware of the video, but he added its origins were still unknown.

The video, taken by an unidentified woman, shows a man believed to be Pastor Zondo walking around naked in the lounge area of a house while speaking on the phone.

He is also seen touching his genitals.

A link to the video was first shared on Twitter from a Dropbox account, which has since been disabled due to the high volumes of traffic it attracted.

It was later removed from YouTube due to the alleged explicit content.

Kganyago added the leaking of the video was being handled as a personal matter and maintained the Durban pastor was not in any way at fault.

“Even if it is him in the video, what has he done wrong?,” Kganyago told The Citizen.

He added a way forward would be decided on by the station after the investigation has been completed.

“We will investigate the matter and see what impact it will have on Ukhozi and on the brand,” he said.

Meanwhile, a number of people on Twitter defended Zondo and shared messages of support:

@OOleboss: “No one has ever seen the ps Zondo vid. Why is y’al like this?, spreading lies about a pastor!. Shame on you”
 
@ndo_swing: “Sthembiso Zondo, I salute you, because I’m aware that the devil attacks those that are true man of God. You intimidate the devil -preach on!”
