Speaker Thandi Modise said she had never been a fan of holding meetings via Zoom
A virtual meeting held by a South African parliamentary committee has been hacked and the speaker abused.
The programming committee's session had just started on Thursday morning when pornographic images appeared on the screen and a male voice hurled insults at Speaker Thandi Modise, who was chairing it.
The outraged speaker exclaimed that this was why she opposed virtual meetings.
"This is exactly what I said about Zoom!" Ms Modise is quoted as saying by Times Live website.
MPs described the incident as “sick” and “disturbing”, news website Eyewitness News reports.
Parliament's technicians created a new link where MPs then joined in.
