Buhle Samuels Covid-19 joke gets her in trouble on Twitter

Buhle Samuels‘ attempt at humour during these uncertain Covid-19 times has backfired. On Twitter, the Muvhango actress said she thought some positives would come from the 21-day lockdown, which takes effect at midnight on Thursday and ends on April 16.

“I think one of the positive things that will come from the Covid-19 lockdown is no crime for a whole 21 days! It is said a habit can be formed/broken in 21 days, let’s hope thieves can learn better ways to behave in society!

I think one of the positive things that will come from the Covid-19 lockdown is no crime for a whole 21 days! It is said a habit can be formed/ broken in 21 days, let’s hope thieves can learn better ways to behave in society! #21daysLockdown
Her tweet didn’t land as she intended. People started filling up her mentions with what the lockdown meant for most South Africans.

Some said her tweets were “stupid” and that crime would go up because people were losing their jobs.

Buhle had to “defend” herself.

It will rise. People will lose their homes and jobs. The number of people on poverty will increase after this. Crime will increase.
Some [of] you need to have a little more humour! If you believe from just one tweet I’ve posted that I believe people can just stop being thieves in 21 days then I think you need to worry more about yourself!” she said.

The African continent as a whole has the most recorded cases of HIV/AIDS in the world. At the time of its outbreak, people who contracted the virus had a short life-expectancy. However, modern medicine has made it possible for those who have a positive status to live a full and wonderful life. Take the following five South African celebrities with HIV/AIDS, who made their statuses public, and gave people hope that life goes on after being diagnosed. 1. Koyo Bala  Bala publicly announced his HIV status in a 2011 interview with DRUM magazine. Bala, who was diagnosed in 2010, told the magazine he is HIV-positive.  He added as a celebrity and someone who is openly gay, it is important to come out. Bala said he wanted to use his bubbly personality to help those struggling to come to terms with their status and instil a sense of hope. He died in 2015, not from the virus, but cancer. 2.

Police are investigating the murder of a Mpumalanga woman who was shot and killed, and the attempted murder of her brother who was thrown out of a moving taxi near Witbank. On Friday, Brigadier Leonard Hlathi told News24 the siblings had taken a taxi from Johannesburg and made it to Witbank. According to reports, they had both spent the day at job interviews in Gauteng. “[While in Witbank] They then boarded a taxi with the view of going back home to Carolina [Mpumalanga]. There were a few men in the taxi with them. Instead of going to Carolina, the taxi rerouted. According to the brother, some of the men then produced firearms. The brother was then thrown out of the moving taxi,” Hlathi said. SowetanLive reported Kwanele Fezile and Ngceboyenkosi Minende Zuma, both 22, took the taxi home late on Monday after they went for job interviews in Johannesburg. The news website added the siblings’ brother, Sanele Zuma, said Kwanele was raped before being shot in the head. However, the police ...
