South African minister resigns after sex video scandal
South Africa’s embattled Home Affairs Minister, Malusi Gigaba, has resigned two weeks after a video of him masturbating was widely circulated online.
A statement from the presidency said Mr Gigaba – a senior member of the governing African National Congress – was “stepping aside for the sake of our country and the movement to which he belongs”.
Mr Gigaba had accused South Africa’s security services of hacking his phone and releasing the 13-second video which, he says, was for his wife.
