Technicians at an Eastern Cape municipality have been battling to delete pornographic videos posted on its social media page.

The Alfred Nzo District Municipality’s Facebook page has been taken over by a hacker with a twisted sense of humour, who has splashed more than 40 explicit videos on the page. 

The page had 22 000 followers last week, which has since climbed by 1 000 in the last few days. One of the videos had 94 000 views.
