South African Twitter is filled with trolling and jokes. Recently a "Twitter Election" was held on the social networking app. Popular Twitter users were voted in as random ministers and the results have just been released.

In a series of posts by parody account @SciTheComedist (Jan Van Potgieter), the new Twitter ministers and their titles were shared. From a Twitter president, Minister of Stealing all the way to a Minister of Appliances, tweeps now have it all.

Names such as Mr Smeg, Mr Handsome and even Tumi Sole were "honoured" with their own titles.
