Photoshopped nudes of ‘Ramaphosa’ and ‘Cele’: Man to appear in court

It is alleged that the explicit images were shared on social media and other platforms, as well as with police.

A 34-year-old man was arrested yesterday by the Gauteng Crimes Against the State Team and the Pietermaritzburg-based Serious Organised Crime Investigation team for possession of pornographic material.

Hawks’ spokesperson Colonel Philani Nkwalase says the man had pornographic images of unknown individuals with President Cyril Ramaphosa, police minister Bheki Cele, and his wife’s faces superimposed on them.

“The suspect will appear in the Pretoria Magistrate’s Court today for contravening the Cyber Crime Act 19 of 2020. He was arrested in Azalea, Pietermaritzburg.”

Nkwalase says the investigation commenced at the beginning of May.

The images were distributed to police officers and members of the public on social media platforms. He even circulated these images even to members of the police head office and to people close to the victims.
