NOI tweeted this (Screenshot 1)

Nigerian Blogs jumped on it with Screenshots 2 & 3, that’s she’s been named the “Head” of the Council.

1. Mostly online rags reporting it. No credible sources.

2. The reports are not based on any announcement from the SA Govt or NOI herself.
I hear #PDPeople are using what appears to be fake news to boast. Not sure what the basis for the boasting is, but then again it’s PDPeople.

Possible all those rags pushing the news are from their pdpropaganda arm.
The point here is about the quality of “journalism” and “blogging” these days. Now NOI may very well GO ON to be named “Head” of the Council, but the point is that as of today, March 7, 2020, there’s no justification for a story that makes that claim based simply off that tweet.
Too much irresponsible, clickbait-based ‘reporting’ out there — even when it’s proven false they keep these stories up because of the clicks.

As one told me recently, a story (badly written, truth-deficient) of his had received 57,000 hits. That for him was proof of excellence.
