Sex video of Free State ANC’s Zanele Sifuba leaked online

Sifuba allegedly refused to pay hush money to the man seen in the video.


African National Congress (ANC) speaker at the Free State legislature, Zanele Sifuba, has broken the internet after a leaked sex video surfaced on social media setting various platforms abuzz.

The video, widely circulated on Twitter, shows Sifuba pleasuring herself while on a video call with an unknown man.

Blackmail

According to reports, the man in the video, alleged to be a Nigerian national, apparently released the video of Sifuba after she reportedly refused to pay R300 000 in hush money.

The video was released on Tuesday night (8 November 2022), after explicit photos of Sifuba on the same call were leaked last month.

Nude photos

The Daily Sun at the time reported the Free State Legislature ordered an investigation into the Speaker’s explicit nudes scandal which showed screengrabs of the video being circulated on Wednesday.

“The legislature will establish investigations into this gender-based violence. This is harassment, and whoever shared this video must face the law. This is an insult to elderly women.”

ANC politicians and sex videos

Sifuba is not the first ANC politician to trend on social media for explicit sexual content.

In 2018, a video of then Home Affairs Minister Malusi Gigaba masturbating was also widely shared on social media platforms.

Gigaba claimed his phone was hacked.

Pornhub

Gigaba’s video was then shared on Pornhub by a user with the pseudonym Coronzo, with the clip garnering thousands of views.

It further exposed Gigaba, who insisted that the footage was meant for his wife, but it was revealed he never sent it to her.

Response

The Citizen reached out to the Sifuba’s spokesperson, but there was no response at the time of publication.

The ANC’s national spokesperson Pule Mabe said he was busy on a site inspection at Nasrec in preparation for the upcoming party conference.

Golf and sex

Meanwhile, earlier this week, a couple was caught having sex in broad daylight on what looked like a golf course.

In the video apparently shot by a passerby, the couple was caught in the throws, half-naked on the open field golf course.

The couple got a nasty fright when the bystanders approached them while the camera was still rolling.

The man quickly dismounted from the woman and both fled the scene.
