Johannesburg - Sports Minister Fikile Mbalula in the early hours of Friday morning claimed that his Twitter account had been hacked, after an image of a half-naked woman with her legs spread were posted on his social media account.
The image, which was posted on Thursday night, immediately went viral with Twitter questioning the minister about the inappropriate picture.
