PANIC GRIPS MILLIONS as sinister fake news TARGETS South Africa’s most vulnerable. A cruel online campaign is spreading LIES that the vital COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress grant is being CUT OFF. The government is now scrambling to contain the fear.
The Department of Social Development is FIRING BACK, calling the viral videos and graphics “FALSE” and having “NO BASIS” in reality. They confirm NO decision has been made to end the lifeline grant. But the damage is already done. This isn’t just a mistake—it’s a deliberate, malicious attack.
The proof is in the posts. The fakers didn’t just use text. They ILLEGALLY used the Minister’s own image and the official government logo to make their lies look real. This is a calculated move to shatter public trust and spark chaos among those who need this money for FOOD and SHELTER.
Who benefits from this terror? While desperate families panic, shadowy actors behind these fakes watch the confusion spread. Official channels are being drowned out by a tidal wave of fraud. The silence from big tech platforms is DEAFENING as this dangerous disinformation runs wild.
The government is begging people to only check its official websites and pages. But for millions living on the edge, the seed of terror has been planted. Someone is weaponizing hope against the poor.
This is what sabotage looks like in the digital age.
