Journalist asks Mbalula where she can report Andile Lungisa for spreading ‘fake news’

In a Twitter exchange that took place on Sunday, journalist Verashni Pillay took issue with an ANC councillor, Andile Lungisa, in Nelson Mandela Bay for spreading questionable information about billionaire philanthropist Bill Gates.

Pillay was concerned that because News24 is South Africa’s biggest news site it would be difficult to undo the “damage”. She was referring to how she had been fired as the then editor of the now defunct Huffington Post website – a one-time partner site to News24 – in 2017 over a column the site had published about white male privilege. She had defended the column, only for it to turn out to be a fake opinion planted by a man who had been trying to embarrass mainstream news sites.

Reporter must 1st start reporting News24 n eNca for spreading lies abt bill Gates also

He not she

Lungisa was sentenced last year but he is not in jail till today

I guess no other south African would be arrested/prosecuted for spreading false news if News24 walks scot free. Their apology does not reverse the damage their article has caused
