For a political party that prides itself on being squeaky clean, it was only a matter of time before something emerged. It’s not the Arms Deal, but having child p0rn on your office computer is probably not the smartest thing to do – especially if the p0rn involves kids.

The incident occurred in the small little town of Swellendam. The matter is currently being investigated by the Swellendam local police, after the ANC reported it to them. The p0rn was found on the councillor’s computer by IT experts in November of last year.

The p0rn was first described by ANC provincial secretary as follows: “The material is alleged to be of an explicit, hard and kinky [style of] p0rnography.” It has now come to light that the material includes p0rnographic images of children.

The DA has responded with the following statement from Anton Bredell, MEC for Local Government, Environmental Affairs and Development Planning:

I contacted the mayor and municipal manager and requested an investigation. We view the matter as very serious, but no one is guilty until they are proven guilty of an offence. If this is just a plot by the ANC to destroy a DA member’s life, then we will stand by him. If he is guilty, we will not hesitate to take action.

His exact identity remains unknown.
