Twitter Is Punishing The SABC For Not Showing The Tshwane Protests And It’s Hilarious

You can't fool all the people all the time, something the SABC are learning as social media tears into them for ignoring the Tshwane protests.

As the streets of Tshwane play host to burning buses, looting and fearful shop owners (all the videos and images HERE), the Hlaudi Motsoeneng-led SABC continues to turn a blind eye.

Remember when they said they wouldn’t broadcast protests across SABC-run channels? Well they’re sticking to their guns, but it’s getting more and more ridiculous by the minute.

Of course Twitter has pounced, mocking the state broadcaster for coverage that is increasingly resembling that of a propaganda state.

TimesLive has collected some of the best so let’s jump right in:

That smell? It’s egg on face, because whilst the SABC buries its head in the sand the country loses faith in their broadcasting abilities with each passing minute.
