In 2022, UCT professor Pierre de Vos shared a video depicting child pornography on his X account and later alleged that he was hacked.On 11 September 2022, de Vos retweeted a video clip of a young boy who could be seen being sexually abused by an adult man on his X account . On 18 September he took to X and said his account was hacked and tweeted porn. He then deleted the tweets and changed his password.
Equally, on 28 September, de Vos opened his own criminal case where he alleged his social media account had been hacked. “The NPA were so blinded by the status of the suspect that it may have overlooked the purpose behind offences of this serious nature. The focus remains the protection of children but includes the protection of society against the distribution of sexually explicit deeds against children,” Bateman said.It could be a good end to the week for some lucky player of Friday, 29 November’s PowerBall and PowerBall Plus draws.
