Fikile Mbalula leaves social media confused after posting cryptic tweet about landing in Ukraine
Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that the Minister of Transport Fikile Mbalula raised a few eyebrows over the weekend when he took to social media to announce that he had just landed in Ukraine.
Many South Africans were surprised by Mbalula's tweet, considering that Ukraine is currently being attacked by Russian troops under the guise of "demilitarising" the country.
Since the initial attack on Thursday, 24 February, reports say approximately 1.5 million Ukrainian citizens have fled their homes to neighbouring countries.
Mbalula posted his cryptic tweet just before 11am on Saturday, 5 March without any further explanation, which had people wondering what business the Transport Minister had in Ukraine while the country is under attack.
