Redi Tlhabi defends Mzansi and informs US journo about his \u2018one million body bags delivered to SA\u2019 tweet \u2013 Redi Tlhabi did not hesitate to join thousands of South Africans who dragged US journalist Adam Housley following he tweeted inaccurate information concerning the Covid-19 situation in SA. <\/strong><\/p>\n His tweet ignited extensive indignation and Redi was not bout to take that lying down.\u00a0 In a now-deleted three-part Twitter thread, Adam alleged: \u201cone million body bags had been delivered to South Africa\u201d.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cTonight I have learned that one million body bags have been delivered to South Africa. It\u2019s estimated that nearly 8.5 million people have Aids or TB in the country, and they are very worried about what\u2019s coming with coronavirus,\u201d<\/em> he claimed in his tweet.<\/p>\n Adam\u2019s thread also claimed his sources have told him that SA would likely need one or two million more body bags.<\/p>\n \u201cI have great contacts there who say they are likely going to be asking for one to two million more body bags. \u2018Adam we just don\u2019t have the infrastructure like America to help people here. The socialised health system serves most people, but it\u2019s corrupt, underfunded and understaffed\u2019,\u201d<\/em> he tweeted.<\/p>\n South Africans came as a collective to rectify his unresearched information and made it clear they are not inspired and happy and Redi was one of the people leading the charge.<\/p>\n \u201cJust shut up. What you wrote below has absolutely NOTHING to do with the fake news you posted. We don\u2019t care who you love. Just stop this toxic misinformation campaign and ignorance. We did not misunderstand you. We are highly educated and well-travelled citizens. And we live here! \u201c<\/em><\/p>\n Yes. It is fake news that \u201c1 million body bags have been delivered in South Africa.\u201d It is fake news that \u201c8.5 million people have AIDS or TB in the country.\u201d (distinction between HIV & AIDS). Yes we are worried about Corona virus, as any nation should be, as US should HAVE been<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/1.png\")
