'Ungenaphi?': Sportscaster Robert Marawa claps back fiercely at Mbalula over SABC jab
In a similar story, Briefly News published that the timeline is never short of drama and the latest to serve it hot on Mzansi's Twitter streets are veteran sports broadcaster Robert Marawa and Transport Minister Fikile 'Mbaks' Mbalula.
Over what, you might be wondering? Some Saffas have devised that a simple "harmless" comment on the part of Mbalula was taken out of context by Marawa.
But others, like the receiver of the message, found that it reeked of malice.
Mbaks, whose proven propensity for twiddling his thumbs on social media, Twitter, in particular, again shone through when he replied to a SowetanLIVE tweet noting an interview on Marawa's sports show that was being broadcast on Vuma FM in KwaZulu-Natal and Rise FM in Mpumalanga.
