A South African traditional leader was left red-faced when his wife appeared stark n*ked during a virtual parliamentary meeting on Tuesday.
Inkosi Xolile Ndevu, a member of the National House of Traditional Leaders, seems to have neglected to inform his wife that he had entered a virtual meeting of the co-operative governance and traditional affairs (Cogta) portfolio.
While Ndevu was busy explaining how the Eastern Cape province was working with medical doctors on the matter of initiate deaths, his wife walked into the room stark n*ked, oblivious that she was appearing on national television.
Committee chairperson Faith Muthambi reacted quickly and took over the meeting. The shocked committee chairperson remonstrated with Inkosi Ndevu for not informing the people at his home that he was in a meeting.
Muthambi went on to express her exasperation at how this was not the first time that such an incident had happened during a session of the traditional leaders. She told National House of Traditional Leaders chairperson Inkosi Sipho Mahlangu,
An embarrassed Inkosi Ndevu apologised profusely for the incident saying that he was unaware that his wife had been in the background.
In an interview after the meeting, Ndevu claimed that he was technologically challenged and had not received any training on using Zoom. He told the TimesLive,
He also claimed that the meeting had gone past the scheduled time of 10 PM when his wife appeared in the live meeting.

Husspuppi seems to have lost so much weight in prison.
A photo of the day he was arrested in Dubai and the most recent seen picture of him shows he has lost so much weight while in jail.
The left photo above shows the day he was picked up, looking heavy with a big stomach while the right photo shows the alleged fraudster being arraigned in court looking very slim.
During Husspuppi's reigning days on the internet, he openly mocked and fought celebrities and was always fast to curse parents of followers who dare challenge him in anyway. Some of his famous words were 'you are wretched, your papa no get money, he no go see money till he die'' etc.
Recall Governor Wike had said he would give every artiste that performed at Burna Boy's home coming event N10m each?
Well Duncan Mighty was part of those who performed and it seems the Port Harcourt singer has now received his own money.
He took to his twitter page to share a photo of Governor Wike and wrote the Governor;s name many times in capital. His location above the post also reads ''10 Million''.
A United States District Court in California has fixed July 27 as new date for the trial of the Nigerian Instagram celebrity facing fraud charges, Ramon Abass, also addressed as Hushpuppi.
This overruled a previous order from the court that fixed May 4 for the trial.
The recent order given by Judge Otis Wright followed an application for extension sought by Mr Abass’ defence counsel, Louis Shapiro.
Mr Shapiro premised the request on the fact that he needed additional time to prepare for trial as he was recently hired by the defendant.
“On February 25, 2021, defendant’s current counsel, Louis J. Shapiro, substituted in as counsel of record. Defence counsel represents that he requires additional time to prepare this case for trial.
“Specifically, in light of the foregoing, and the complexity of the discovery and allegations in this case, counsel for defendant also represents that additional time is necessary to confer with defendant, conduct and complete an independent investigation of the case, conduct and complete additional legal research including for potential pre-trial motions, review the discovery and potential evidence in the case, and prepare for trial in the event that a pretrial resolution does not occur.
“Defence counsel represents that failure to grant the continuance would deny him reasonable time necessary for effective preparation, taking into account the exercise of due diligence,” Mr Shapiro’s application filed March 19, read.
He added that the defendant believed that failure to grant the continuance would deny him “continuity of counsel and adequate representation”.
Mr Shapiro also noted that the United States government’s attorneys were not opposed to the extension as that was the first time such a request was made.

Peru will enter a total lockdown starting today through Easter Sunday to try curb the spread of the pandemic, the Peruvian government announced Wednesday.
The total lockdown includes a 24-hour curfew, ban on the use of private vehicles, and only one person per household is allowed to leave home for essential shopping, according to a statement from the Peruvian Council of Ministers.
Domestic flights and inter-city public transport will also stop, the statement read.
The announcement comes as Peru is experiencing a resurgence in Covid-19 cases just days ahead of the first round of presidential elections, scheduled for April 11.

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has started a hunger strike in prison to protest officials’ failure to provide proper treatment for his back and leg pains.
In a statement posted Wednesday on Instagram, Navalny complained about prison authorities’ refusal to give him the right medicines and to allow his doctor to visit him behind bars.
He also protested the hourly checks a guard makes on him at night, saying they amount to sleep deprivation torture.
Navalny said in his statement that he had no choice but to protest with a hunger strike because his physical condition has worsened. He said his back pains have spread to his right leg and he feels numbness in his left leg.
“What else could I do?” he wrote. “I have declared a hunger strike demanding that they allow a visit by an invited doctor in compliance with the law. So I'm lying here, hungry, but still with two legs.”
The 44-year-old Navalny, who is President Vladimir Putin’s most outspoken opponent, was arrested in January upon his return from Germany, where he spent five months recovering from a nerve-agent poisoning that he blames on the Kremlin. Russian authorities have rejected the accusation.
Last month, Navalny was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for violating the terms of his probation during his convalescence in Germany. The sentence stems from a 2014 embezzlement conviction that Navalny has rejected as fabricated -- and which the European Сourt of Human Rights has ruled to be unlawful.
Navalny was moved this month from a Moscow jail to a penal colony in Pokrov in the Vladimir region, 85 kilometers (53 miles) east of the Russian capital. The facility called IK-2 stands out among Russian penitentiaries for its particularly strict inmate routines, which include standing at attention for hours.
Navalny's Instagram also had a picture of a letter to the prison chief, dated Wednesday, in which he declared the hunger strike.
“Every convict has the right to invite a specialist for a check and consultation,” he wrote. “So I demand to let a doctor see me and declare a hunger strike until it happens.”
Russia’s Federal Penitentiary Service said last week that Navalny had undergone medical check-ups and described his condition as “stable and satisfactory.”
But Navalny complained that authorities only gave him basic painkiller pills and ointment for his back and legs while refusing to accept medications prescribed earlier by his doctor or to share the diagnosis from his examination.
In a note earlier this month, Navalny described his prison as a “friendly concentration camp.” He said he hadn’t seen “even a hint at violence” there but lived under controls that he compared to George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four.”
Navalny, whom prison authorities had earlier marked as a flight risk, said he was subject to particularly close oversight, including a guard waking him up every hour at night and filming him to demonstrate he is in the required place.
“Instead of medical assistance, I'm subjected to sleep deprivation torture, being woken up eight times every night,” he said in Wednesday's statement.
During a video call with Putin on Tuesday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron emphasized the need for Russia to protect Navalny's health and to respect his rights in compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights, according to Macron’s office.
The Kremlin said in its readout of the call that Putin offered an “objective explanation” in response to questions Merkel and Macron asked about Navalny.

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike on Wednesday said he would not travel out of the country for medical check-up for any reason.
Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari travelled out of the country to London on Tuesday for medical check up.
Wike, in a statement issued by Kelvin Ebiri, his media aide, when members of the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria paid him a visit, in Port Harcourt, said the health care system in Nigeria required very serious attention.
He said it was unfortunate where the nation had been in terms of healthcare system.
Wike stated that he did not not want to comment on people who are traveling for medical check.
According to him, he had not travelled for the past two years, saying that “if we have all these things here, why do we have to travel?
“We have all it takes to provide it. Why will I go out to do my check (overseas) when I have all the facilities in Government House? I don’t need it.”
The governor said that everything that was required for him to undergo any test is in Port Harcourt and that the resources are available.
“Why can’t we provide it for our people?” He asked
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP M.A Adamu, on Wednesday commissioned the new Nigeria Police Radio, 99.1FM, Abuja.

Ned Nwoko, billionaire husband of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, has explained why he has more than one wife and prefers to marry young women.
In an interview with BBC Igbo, the billionaire politician explained the economical reason behind his choice of polygamy.
According to him, the average northerner has at least two wives, which he argued helps the society by preventing the women from being promiscuous.
According to him: “The average Northerner marrying two, three, four women, they are helping the society because it is the economic downturn that has affected so many women who you see doing prostitution and all that.
“But the fallacy of it all is that Christianity does not allow that in the South and yet, the average Southern man has 10 girlfriends.”
He also said the polygamist nature of northerners has helped to increase their population and made them the majority.
Nwoko also complained about how enlightenment has encouraged monogamy even though it is not our culture.
He said: “I love my culture as I know it, not as they are trying to dilute it. Igbo culture is wonderful and should be promoted the way it has always been.
“But even looking at that, look at your population in Nigeria and what I will call economy of marriage, as an Igbo man with one wife, four children, a Northerner has four wives with five children each, in the next 10 years, 20 years, imagine the population of the Northerners.”
