So last night @investec started trending on Twitter, for all the wrong reasons. It seems one of their employees is being accused of abusing his girlfriend, following a plea for help on social media.
It seems one Instagram user (@pearlzom) had shared a text message that her boyfriend – apparently an Investec employee, Siyabonga Nyezi sent her.
Here is an alleged screenshot of the message shared on her personal Instagram account:
According to these screenshots, that message was also shared on Twitter, alerting Investec and asking how they deal with this alleged kind of private conduct by their employees.
Then the general public got involved. According to the tweet screenshot above and email below, a Twitter user called Pearl Pillay alerted Investec to the alleged abuse and another member of the public emailed a formal request for investigation.
As the topic lit up on Twitter and @investec started to trend, some users went back in Nyezi’s timeline and found these tweets he allegedly made back in March, September and again earlier this month.
This Sunday Siyabonga stunned me with the nonchalant manner in which he delivers the article which I think borders very closely on defamation of character. He did not come armed with facts or an informed opinion this time. In the article Siyabonga loosely refers to “psychology used to prey on followers” in the church, “exploitation” and “pimp evangelism”. The article offers Siyabonga’s view on tithing, mismanagement of funds in the church and the church in general. I found the article to be rather shallow on the research end. In fact, I wonder where the statistic that “on average churches give less than 1% of the wealth in their coffers to charity” comes from and what figures were used to arrive to this 1%.
We will keep you informed.
