Man in dock for Ramaphosa, Cele porn pics
A suspect arrested for circulating pornographic material superimposed with the faces of President Cyril Ramaphosa and Police Minister Bheki Cele is expected to appear before the Pretoria Magistrate's Court on Monday.
This comes after the 34-year-old man was arrested in Pietermaritzburg for contravening the Cybercrimes Act.
Hawks teams from Gauteng and a Pietermaritzburg-based serious organised crime investigation team traced and nabbed the suspect on Sunday.

Hawks spokesperson Philani Nkwalase says most of the pornographic images were allegedly found on the device in his possession.
"The investigation about pornographic images of unknown individuals with superimposed faces of the president, his excellency, Cyril Ramaphosa and Minister of Police, Honourable Bheki Cele and his wife ensured in the beginning of May this year.
The images were distributed to the two police officers and members of the public on social media platforms."
