DJ makes twit of himself

The presidency had to issue a statement on Nelson Mandela’s health yesterday after a Johannesburg radio DJ got it all wrong, taking to Twitter to announce the former president was ill – after watching TV file footage from January.


The footage of the former statesman in hospital was being shown by broadcaster e.tv during a Year in Review package it was broadcasting to mark the end of 2011.


Kaya FM morning show host Bob Mabena, watching the footage with the sound turned off, then tweeted: “Breaking news – Nelson Mandela is in hospital.”

The news was then picked up by a South African news website with more than 30 000 followers, which said it was following up on the information.

Later the news site apologised, confirming that Mandela was not in hospital: “We apologise for following up an incorrect lead.”

  4. With having so much content and articles do you ever run into
    any problems of plagiarism or copyright violation?
    My website has a lot of unique content I've either created myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my permission. Do you know any techniques to help stop content from being ripped off? I'd genuinely appreciate it.

  5. It's a very interesting concept where you have to balance objects perfectly on the field which are provided to you. Canon's deal with detection
    can acknowledge as much as. According to Chung, the Nikon has the
    edge for detail and for the addition of a crop mode while canon has the advantage for lack of moire and high
    ISO performance.

  6. The Samsung Galaxy Note is available in elegant white and black colour.

    Samsung is indeed implementing some great tactics to come up in
    this tough competitive phone markets. The Nexus S is unfortunately limited to 16GB of internal storage.

  7. They (Sony) purchased Crackle for a reputed $65 million in 2006, just prior
    to Google's $1. However, we can't choose our favorite program and
    movie when we watch TV. In this day and age it is impossible
    to stay on top of all the latest pieces of technology.

  9. One user reportedly says that this cover might have got smashed when the phone was ran
    over by a car, but it did its job in protecting the phone.

    Samsung, the New York Times, is reporting, is
    set to offer for sale the Samsung Galaxy S IV which will offer automatic scrolling
    by monitoring eye movements. This is not only handy for presenting you with updates all in one place but it also merges with all of your
    contacts and calendars that are stored within these accounts.

  10. Samsungs true rival certainly being is interesting when
    you hear what people have to say about these two leading end tablets.
    A whole host of image enhancing features is provided as standard which
    allows users to manipulate and edit images and videos, including autofocus, touch-focus, face & smile detection as well as geo-tagging which functions
    based on GPS. It's just a minor annoyance, because the tablet can fit in one hand, and therefore always stay directed to the user.
