HANNA ZIADY: There is little regard for facts in spur-of-the-moment Twitter rants 🔒

Against my better judgment, I have been dipping into Twitter feeds over the past week. I should have known better.

This was on display last week as former president Jacob Zuma took to the witness stand in the state capture commission of inquiry. This includes journalists who have done tremendous work to investigate and expose corruption so that the very same people who attack them might one day have a better country to live in.

But it is still representative of some of the population, and that is distressing. It suggests an education system that is inadequately equipping young South Africans with critical thinking skills, or at least failing to impress upon them why it is so important to use them.
