LOOK: Screenshots ‘reveal’ alleged sex scandal with Limpopo MEC

It’s just another day in the news when a politician finds themselves embroiled in a sex scandal. Two women, including an SABC newsreader, are reportedly fighting over Limpopo’s MEC for Co-operative Governance, Human Settlements and Traditional Affairs, Basikopo Makamu – and there are Whatsapp messages doing the rounds on social media which apparently reveal the animosity between the two women.

In one of the messages, one of them brags about being gifted R50 000 by the MEC. As if that wasn’t enough, one of the purported women also shared nude pictures in bed, with a person claimed to be Makamu.

“Two nyatsis are fighting over the Limpopo ANC Deputy Secretary Who is also MEC of Corporate Governance Human Settlement and Traditional Affairs. They exchanged messages. One said to the other one he is not into you. He just gave me R50k,” a tweet from the infamous “Man’s Not Barry Roux” Twitter account read.

LIMPOPO MEC DENIES ALLEGED SEX SCANDAL

Basikopo Makamu’s office isn’t staying mum and has come out guns blazing against claims he is having an affair with two women and lavishing them with cash and gifts. The Limpopo MEC denies being the man featured in the pictures and claims he is the victim of a smear campaign.

“COGHSTA MEC Mr Basikopo Makamu has noted with concern the unsavoury images purported to be of himself being shared on social and other media platforms,” said his spokesperson Hitekani Magwedze in a brief statement.

“He therefore explicitly distances himself from these images coupled with the allegations thereof, and wishes to state that it is not him in these photos. This is an attempt at tarnishing his good name, and as such he is rightly seeking legal advice on the matter”
