"I still don't know who is responsible for this. I never asked for this to happen," Pumela Mnqaba said during an emotional interview.
A series of steamy WhatsApp messages between what appears to be Booysen and Mnqaba were widely circulated among journalists and politicians more than two weeks ago.
An email, sent under the name Maxwell Jamangile, includes a transcript of these messages.
The transcript shows that a contact labelled "Pumi" allegedly first made contact with Booysen in January this year and the exchange lasted for about a month, involving discussions relating to a meeting over a job, which later turned into messages of a sexual nature.
The messages, predominantly in isiXhosa, include a request by what seems to be Booysen for photographs of her "private parts".
Booysen has since denied sending the messages and said that his phone had been in for repairs when the messages were sent.
Booysen labelled it a "smear campaign" against him and the DA ahead of the August local government elections.
He added the only Pumi he knew was a blood relative and he had not seen her in more than a year.
Mnqaba said that Booysen "was lying" and that the saga had severely affected her life.
