SOCIAL media nearly choked on its own popcorn after a married woman who works at a popular fast food outlet was exposed for allegedly enjoying what online jokers have now dubbed a “fast service, extra sauce” affair with her manager.
Her furious husband allegedly got hold of intimate videos and pictures showing his wife in a steamy relationship with her boss and decided not to cry in silence. Instead, he reportedly uploaded the material straight to his WhatsApp status, serving instant shock, shame and scandal to his contact list.
Within minutes, phones were buzzing and screenshots were circulated all over social media.
According to whistle blowers, the woman is married and employed at a reputable fast food outlet where her alleged lover holds a managerial position. What started as staff supervision is said to have quickly turned into a full menu affair, with no waiting time and no receipt.
Nudes and other material that is too graphic to describe, even in B-Metro, including a short video of the pair going at it like jack rabbits have been circulating online.
Social media users were quick to crack jokes, saying the workplace must have confused her after years of shouting “fast food, fast service”, only for her to take the slogan into her private life.Hubby woke up at midnight to update status with wife’s sex videos
“Fast food leads to fast love,” someone joked in a WhatsApp group, “No queues, no delays, straight to dessert.”
Although the videos seen by B-Metro are explicit, this publication will spare readers the graphic details.
The footage leaves little room for denial and has left both families and colleagues reeling.
But while the streets laughed, lawyers shook their heads.
Legal experts warn that the husband’s actions may have landed him in hotter oil than a deep fryer on pay-day Friday.
Under Zimbabwe’s Cyber and Data Protection Act Chapter 12:07, it is a criminal offence to send, share or distribute intimate images or videos of another person without their consent using a phone, social media or any electronic platform.
The law does not care whether emotions were hurt or hearts were broken. It applies regardless of how the content was obtained and is meant to protect privacy and dignity, even when the drama is juicy.
The Act defines intimate images or videos as material showing a person nude, exposing private body parts or engaging in sexual acts. Anyone who shares such material without consent commits an offence commonly known as revenge porn.
Offenders face a Level 10 (US$700) fine and or imprisonment of up to five years. Lawyers warn that even sharing the videos on WhatsApp status, family groups or close friends chats can still be a crime. Bulawayo lawyer Welshman Ncube said the situation could quickly turn from comedy to courtroom.
“Defamation of character is a serious offence and it is unlawful according to the Cyber and Data Protection Act,” said Prof Ncube.
He said the wife still has several legal cards to play.
