Twitter users really should take stock of the fact that a social media platform isn’t their own private conversation. If you post something on there, chances are someone will see it, and if you’re commenting on a celebrity, they may decide to take you to task.
For proof of this, look no further than Rachel Kolisi, the wife of newly appointed Springbok captain Siya Kolisi, who moved quickly to issue a swift digital slap at a user who made their attraction to her hubby rather plain.
Rachel, it seems, was having none of it, and let loose on the fan with a volley of tweets.
Ouch! Just in case you wondered, Siya is well and truly spoken for.
However, this being South African Twitter, other users immediately began speculating which local ‘celeb’ was encouraging her friend to hook up with Siya. One tweep has even (needlessly) alleged that Bonang Matheba might be involved.
As to who was doing the encouraging, that’s still unclear at this stage, but it’s worth following these events as they unfold on Twitter.
And it’s only Monday …
