In The early hours of the night a tweet surfaced on Twitter that devastated South Africans. The person posted that the number number actor, also known as GP in the Show Gazlam had tragically passed on after being shot by hijackers. According to the tweet, this had happened during a car hijacking that ended up getting the actor shot. Twitter people became very sad over the “untimely Death”of the actor.
The actor has always been a crowed favourite he played roles that were only he could play. This is why he was able to have such a very big fan base that were quick to react to the twitter post. Upon carefully reading the post, fans went from being very said to extremely furious over the tweet. This is because after carefully reading it they realise what the poster really did.
The man’s tweet went as followed:
“RIP Isreal Makoe.He passed away@the early hours of today after being shot by armed robbers in his house.The police are busy with investigation.This happened in the movie I was watching (The Avenged),since electricity went off while I was watching hope baswere dibhari tsele”
It was found towards the end of the post that Kabelo was talking about a movie he was watching that had the star acting on it. He said that he was so heartbroken from the movie that he had to post it on twitter. The message was however received different way, and he never intended for that to happen.
What was thought of as a real story turned out to be an old facebook trick that users would use to gain attention and likes. The user by the Name of Kabelo got a large amount of backlash from this post as he made people really feel some type of way late at night for no reason at all. He received endless insults.
Kaneko got over 600 likes using this outrageous tactics to gain attention. As it turned out, this type of thing has always happened to the actor and he has asked people several times to “Stop killing him” in these posts and stories. It however seems like the meant nothing as people like Kabelo keep on doing it just to get some kikes and shares.
The actor gets these kinds of posts and reactions due to his stardom. He is South Africa’s favourite bad boy. With his past being that if a man who was an actual criminal and went to jail for 6 years, he is able to tap into the bad side and use it to entertain many South Africans and they love it
The Attempts to report him and get his account suspended did not work out as it seems he is still active on Twitter. It may seems that the plague of the nation continues to strike.
What is your take in the matter?what should be done with people like Kabelo who spread fake news for likes?
