@IvoVegter @RenaldoGouws @Mngxitama Lol at 'anyone to the right of Mao'. My mistake regarding the time of the tweet. I do, however, think that many on the right are just really eager to portray media as the enemies. I spend as much time writing about the left, eg EFF & BLF . They also believe I have a vendetta

@mynameisjerm @BustingSa @MikeyMikeNel @WhiteLiesMatta @OUTASA @ex_post_facto @Dr_MakhosiKhoza @wayneduv @PhumlaniMMajozi @ferrial_adam @JuliusKleynhans @TheCitizen_News Lol, firstly, I really don't care about you as much as you think I do. Secondly, the story was written over the weekend by another journalist while I was not on duty. I only reedited it on Monday to include your comments. If I didn't you'd be complaining about that.

I think it's great that @TeamNews24 fact-checked the EFF's accusations against Gordhan, but I wonder if fact-checking doesn't then need to be applied across the board. For example, should Maimane's allegations linking Ramaphosa's Bosasa 'donations' not undergo the same?

It's so sad that the poor and destitute in SA have the EFF to represent them. They deserve so much better.

I always thought the alt right were just people with different ideas that I couldn't understand or agree with, but not necessarily bad people. That was before I engaged with them. They are the WORST PEOPLE.

@CoruscaKhaya The Citizen reporter's contribution was two lines at the beginning and adding all the tweets. The problems you have with the story originate from the ANA version, and we have corrected them. The inaccurate version, meanwhile, is still live on several major sites including IOL.

@TheCousinn @CoruscaKhaya We usually do but especially at night when we are not well staffed mistakes can get through. Hence, we have corrected the mistakes.

Hi Redi, this story comes from African News Agency, not from one of our journalists. We've noted the inaccuracy and will make a correction. It's worth checking if any other publications have the exact same info, as ANA stories are usually carried by most major news outlets.

What a lot of unsurprising rubbish @TheCitizen_News . Promised legal action ONLY on Visa regulations..not even about mentioning 19 yr daughter. Despite his proclivity for lies, even he knew that my mentioning a name HE had previously mentioned on Twitter, was not victimization🙄

No, it's not. It's like saying, we have noted the mistake and we have corrected it, and the story did not originate from one of our journalists. That's not even an argument, that's just an explanation and the facts.

@secrie @CoruscaKhaya It's actually not even an argument, it's stone cold facts, and if you can't tell the difference you're the brainless one.

Hi Khaya, the article was from African News Agency, not one of our journalists. I've noted the inaccuracies and we will make a correction. But pls note multiple news outlets have carried this exact story, not just The Citizen.
