- Social lunches are apparently essential government work according to #MduduziManana and #StellaAbrahams. A photo went viral of the Minister of Communications and former ANC MP #Manana having a luxurious lunch while the country scrambles for basic services. #MananaFoundation put out a release to say that #Abrahams was there on official business (collecting hand sanitizers?! Let’s not go there) and he apologised as he had merely extended her the courtesy of lunch with the family. #LockDown much?
- #WhatsappAdmins can now be charged for the spreading of #FakeNews, I wonder how that will be controlled (there’s a tech geek in me that is terrified right now), but I must say the level of fake news is out of control. The chop that shoved a cotton bud up his nose has been arrested and a nation rejoiced to see swift action to the fake news insert.

- Outside of the #Covid19 media, our dear #VinoliaMashego passed away in her sleep and many spoke of her enormous contribution to the entertainment industry
