What is the state of revenge porn in South Africa?

Don’t ask me why but this question came up with me today. Is there legislation around it? Is it enforced? Are there specific advocacy groups that focus on this?

What about cases where someone is being blackmailed/threatened with the release of compromising materials - is there an avenue to pursue in such an instance?
