Scandal Rocks North West As Tswaing Mayor Norah Mahlangu’s Nude Video Leaks

Norah Mahlangu, the mayor of Tswaing in North West’s Ngaka Modiri District, has taken a one-month special leave after an explicit video of her was leaked on an ANC WhatsApp group.

The footage, which has spread like wildfire, allegedly shows Mahlangu undressing and engaging in private acts, leading to widespread embarrassment and public scrutiny.

Sources close to the situation say Mahlangu has been deeply shaken by the leak and has since gone into a depressive state, stepping away from her official duties.

The scandal erupted just days after the tragic deaths of two municipal workers, who fell into a sewer manhole while attempting to unblock a drainage system in Agisanang township.

Political Sabotage or Personal Betrayal?

While it remains unclear how the video ended up in circulation, speculation suggests Mahlangu originally sent the footage to a romantic partner.

Reports indicate that the partner may have attempted to extort money from her, and when she refused, he allegedly leaked the video to her political opponents, possibly to derail her chances of retaining her position in the upcoming local government elections.

Tswaing council speaker Sam Letlakane confirmed that Mahlangu was highly traumatised by the leak and needed time to recover. “Sh`e is struggling to cope with the situation, which is why she has taken leave,” he said.

Fallout and Future Implications

The scandal has ignited debates around privacy, revenge porn, and political manoeuvring within the ANC’s provincial structures. While Mahlangu has yet to make an official statement, the fallout from this incident could have significant implications for her career and the political landscape in Tswaing.

Law enforcement authorities have yet to confirm whether an investigation into the leak is underway. Meanwhile, Mahlangu’s political future hangs in the balance as she navigates this deeply personal and public crisis.
