Social media is definitely on highs today with Tbo-touch being called out by users who think he was too quick to have jumped into conclusion on the #MiWay alleged fake email leak, that referred to black customers as a baboon.

 

Whoever leaked this #Miway I salute for your bravery. Should you be fired #TouchHD will hire. pic.twitter.com/5rx5STKSbm

Tbo Touch in the tweet even promised the conspirator of the allegedly leaked email, a job. This was what outraged many twitter users who labeled Tbo Touch a hypocrite and made reference to his day old tweet:

 

The only difference between the guy I just drove pass begging in streets and myself is our mental disposition. Let’s change how we THINK🙏🏾

Next time please use your supposedly strong superior mental disposition to think before tweeting. Be a better person.

— Gontse Pai (@gspai) July 19, 2017

Instead of tweeting Fake inspiration, get out your fancy car and give the guy a job or something… help him change the way he thinks

— Official_Kaleb (@RealFocusly) July 19, 2017

A screenshot was updated on social media platforms showing the flaws in the email leaked and submitted as proof that the email is fake:

 

Here is the image proof of the fake racist email that was leaked @miwayinsurance @MillionsWorthPR pic.twitter.com/knzgTZaoRD

— townpress (@townpresssa) July 20, 2017

Tbo Touch also twitted this afterward:

 

CEO of #Miway Rene Otto let’s hope this is fake news this email was on March 27. Meaning the meeting was on Sunday. Don’t make sense

— Tbo Touch (@iamtbotouch) July 20, 2017

Which even made matters worse for the public figure

 

If #Miway email is fake,will you say sorry for supporting/saluting the leaker?

— 👻👌 (@Jesuisgarland) July 20, 2017

the only thing that makes sensee is you sold out

— STA-JOURNA (@JonasMampa) July 20, 2017

Miway must show us how many claims lodged by black people have been repudiated in the past two years

— Mulalo razwinani (@Mulalorr) July 20, 2017

What do u know about fake news u are fake! pic.twitter.com/iJB1wOdbkm

Public Relations Expert Thembekile Mdletshe of MillionsworthPR says this is common among public figures everywhere in the world.

“Social platforms like Twitter is shaping how people converse on topics and issues. Public figures are starting to understand the weight of their place in societies by carefully weighing comments and learning to use the right publicly acceptable words”

In just the first half of the year, almost 15 celebrities have had damning issues on twitter alone.
