Xolile Ndevu, a member of the National House of Traditional Leaders, a body of 23 traditional leaders in South Africa, was talking about deaths from Covid-19 in the province of Eastern Cape during a cooperative governance and traditional affairs meeting on Tuesday.

While explaining how Eastern Cape is working with local doctors, his wife suddenly appears behind him naked.

In the footage, colleagues are heard bursting into laughter as committee chairperson Faith Muthambi quickly intervenes and pauses the meeting.

She tells him: “Inkosi, people behind you are not properly dressed. We are seeing everything.

“Our houses are not built so we can have privacy for these meetings.”

Ndevu added that the meeting began at around 7pm and was due to finish by 10pm, but overran so he moved to the bedroom.

He explained: “As the meeting continued after 10pm, my wife came in to use the bathroom and was unaware I had the video feed on. I apologise.”
