*Okay, we've got the political party, the entrapment in the hotel, and the wide, anonymous distribution of the DVDs.
Where are the phone taps? And the private detectives?
Are their Bollywood actresses involved? And is it open
season worldwide on swingin' politicians named 'Singh'?
I can't believe this is an independent invention. Someone
in South Africa has been watching Indian developments.
Either that, or somebody who dislikes the Inkatha
Freedom Party flew in an Indian spook tiger-team.
Sex tapes not in public interest, says Singh
March 19 2006 at 05:40PM
Steamy footage of KwaZulu-Natal Tourism MEC Narend Singh with a married Durban socialite was not in the public interest, Singh said in a statement on Sunday. (((Boy, that's for sure.)))
"I am most concerned by the recent publications in the media involving myself which relates to a personal and private matter, and in respect of which I have not waived any of my rights to privacy." (((What's left of 'em.)))
"The subject matter of these publications is clearly in my view not in the public interest," he said.
Reports by the Sunday Times say the DVD - widely distributed in the province - showed Singh and wealthy socialite Rosanne Narandas in a lengthy sex session at Durban's Elangeni Hotel. (((Okay, who's this Indian socialite, and – this is likely a stretch – could this South African "wealthy socialite" possibly know a "socialite" in Delhi named Naveen "Bobby" Dahija? How do you persuade a "wealthy socialite" to have her romp with a politician filmed for distribution? What's in it for her?)))
'It is inappropriate for me to comment further at this time'
Both Singh and Narandas are married.
In his statement Singh said the material was the subject of an ongoing investigation he had initiated with the police. (((My prediction? The local cops come up against a black wall of party operatives and intelligence services.)))
"In the circumstances it is inappropriate for me to comment further at this time.
"However, I wish to confirm my family's fullest support, and I am also very encouraged by messages of support I have received from various community leaders, friends and politicians." (((Because they are next.)))
The recording was pushed through residents' personal post boxes, handed out at some taxi ranks and even exchanged among pupils at some high schools. (((I'd be betting they took the DVDs to the high schools FIRST.)))
'I am most concerned by the recent publications in the media'
The Sunday Times said the movie opened with the two "kissing, fondling and drinking liquor mixed with coke". (((Oh the iniquity.)))
Narandas apparently fondled Singh, kissed him and repeatedly rubbed her pelvis against him before they had intercourse. (((Nice of you to point this out in such detail, South African press.)))
It appeared Narandas was conscious of the cameras, first preening herself and later turning towards Singh so his face was captured. (((Oh brother.)))
She denied she had a spy camera in her handbag, telling the Sunday Times she was being framed. (((Cherchez la femme.)))
Singh is a leading member of the Inkatha Freedom Party. (((He was, anyway.)))
