Cape Town - Channel24 has found hard evidence that photos circulating on social media of an apparent pornographic film being filmed on Cape Town’s iconic Lion’s Head is the real deal.
SANParks spokesperson Merle Collins earlier told Channel24 they believe the photo circulating on Twitter is Photoshopped, insisting parks management would never authorise the shooting of “this kind of film”.
The image - seemingly a still from the movie - started circulating on Sunday and depict a naked man and woman having sex on a rock, with a picture perfect view of Cape Town in the background.
Parody account @LionsheadCPT on Sunday tweeted a screengrab from the film and wrote: “Someone actually made a porno up here. Whaaaat”, followed this morning by: “I feel dirty”.
Collins said Lion’s Head is “simply just too busy” for no one to have witnessed the alleged scene.
“No request for a pornographic film to be filmed on SANParks land has ever been received and permission would never be granted even if an application was made,” she insisted.
Parks management are nonetheless still looking into the incident, Collins added.
Channel24 has seen the video and can confirm it is real. The video seems to be vintage as the stadium is not visible in the video.
