WATCH: Did underfire Eastern Cape Health MEC Sindiswa Gomba fart during a live TV interview? No, so says the provincial health department, but the published SABC original video and a viral one on social media, suggest otherwise. | TheCapeArgus
No, so says the Eastern Cape Health Department which has condemned a video of the SABC interview as “mischievous and malicious”.
A clip of the video, has been circulating on social media, and on Facebook with the caption 'Did the MEC fart?' where it has over 10 000 shares, with over 200 000 views as of Tuesday afternoon. “While we appreciate our creatives, we want to call on them to use their special skills not to insult or paint people in a bad light. They must use their freedom of expression well,” Kupelo said.“The two video clips are evidence of the ongoing character assassination of MEC Gomba as some people want her removed from the Executive.”
“To then edit the clip to suit a certain narrative is malicious and is meant to present MEC as a racist which could not be further from the truth.”
