The South African National Assembly programming committee's meeting was
hacked with porn images on Thursday morning, with the hacker also racially
abusing speaker Thandi Modise who was chairing the virtual meeting.
The meeting had barely started at 9am, literally 50 seconds
in, and was still dealing with the first item on the agenda when porn images
appeared on the screen.
This happened as DA chief whip Natasha Mazzone was proposing
an agenda item to discuss the functioning and running of parliament's virtual
meetings.
"This is exactly what I said about Zoom!"
exclaimed a shocked Modise.
With everyone expressing their shock and disgust, and
wondering what to do next, more images and videos appeared on the screen. The
entire meeting took about four and a half minutes.
For the last 30 seconds of the meeting, a man's voice could
be heard insulting Modise. He repeatedly made sexually offensive and racist
comments directed at her.
Parliamentary spokesperson Moloto Mothapo said arrangements
were being made to set up a new meeting.
The meeting later restarted - on a new link. Sowetan
