The mayor of the Tswaing local municipality in the Ngaka Modiri District, North West province, Kenya, has taken a one month special leave from work after her private video was leaked on the WhatsApp group of the party’s provincial structures.
Norah Mahlangu, the ANC mayor in Tswaing, disappeared from the public when her private video surfaced on the party’s WhatsApp Group and was sent to various members of her party in the province.
It appears the video was self-recorded as the camera was up close and she looked directly into it the whole time.
Mahlangu slowly removed her bra to expose herself to the camera.
The video also contains a part where she is totally bare in bed.
The embattled politician was last seen in public on Wednesday when she attended the funeral of the two deceased municipal workers, where she urged law enforcement authorities to investigate the death of the employees.
Tswaing is a farming community in the platinum province.
Tswaing speaker Sam Letlakane told Sunday World that Mahlangu was highly traumatised by the leakage of the video, adding that the incident had forced her to take a leave of absence.
The circumstances of the leak are not certain, but there are speculations that Mahlangu sent the video to her partner when they were still lovey-dovey.
After they fell out, the partner allegedly tried to extort money from her but she rebuffed him, as a result of which he was alleged to have leaked the video to her political foes.
Her partner believed that this move would stop her from retaining her position after the local government elections next year.
