"A whole Head of State smuggling a fugitive from justice? Tell me it’s fake news. Unbelievable! Must be fake. Has to be. People must not spread fake news," he said.
Tweeps started to drag the minister for his tweets and some were even calling for him to delete his comments. To which he responded:
"Don’t try tell me what to say or not say. This is a democracy. Hayibo! Why do you want me to delete my tweet about a fugitive from South African justice? How did he escape and make us look so bad?"
Mboweni is standing his ground and is definitely being firm in the fact that South Africa needs to tighten up a bit in certain areas.
