Was DA Mayor Memory Booysen Sexting Job Seeker?
Was the Democratic Alliance’s Mayor Memory Booysen sexting a job seeker?
The DA-run Plettenberg Bay has survived a major housing scandal and a major electricity theft scandal involving municipal employees. Even more miraculous was the municipality getting rubber stamped with a Clean Audit.
The Western Cape and the DA, like the ANC across South Africa is no stranger to strange happenings… and these type of things, especially in the Western Cape, rarely get the media coverage needed.
However, as if it isn’t natural, as if humans aren’t the final product of many sexual attempts, it’s the sex story that gets the biggest headlines.
That’s what’s happened with the allegation that Mayor Memory Booysen was sexting via WhatsApp with a woman called Pumie who was seeking a municipal job.
The DA have dismissed it as election propaganda, which it may well be. As has been proven, the battle for the small towns in the Eden District, under which Plettenberg Bay falls, can be vicious.
Being associated with the negative side of sex is an ugly thing. Mayor Memory Booysen would have been better off if he’d gone with his party’s blanket denial. Instead, he told the Cape Times that the messages happened whilst his phone had been sent for repairs.
Seemingly in conflict, Booysen told The Herald that his phone could have been accessed by someone in his office or at home, saying “I would conduct an investigation among the various individuals who ordinarily enjoy access to my phone.”
Hopefully Mayor Memory Booysen will back himself up by laying a charge with the SAPS so that they can investigate and tell us the truth. Be interesting to see if that happens.
If someone did, they would have to have accessed it several times on several days, day and night.
Here are those alleged WhatsApp messages between Mayor Memory Booysen and the jobseeker (if anyone can suggest better translations, please do):
