Social media was awash with a report that a South African woman named Cynthia Majola aged 22 was arrested for not sending nudes to her boyfriend as well as failing to visit him despite being given money for transport, data and airtime.

The story is fake as no credible news platform has carried it. A simple Google check of Cynthia Majola did not reveal anything credible with a news site from Malawi carrying the story.

VERDICT- The story is fake.

Below is the circulating fake news story;
