Anele Mdoda takes to Twitter defending her colleague, Somizi Mhlongo against trolls.
Som’s name has been in the mouth of Mzansi Twitter after insulting some journalists who sought for the truth as regards his marriage.
Responding to the journalists, Som insulted them and SANEF calls such act irresponsible, urging him to apologise to those journalists from City Press and Sunday World.
Anele claimed the journalists provoked Somizi as they have no right to question him without doing lots of research.
“My point exactly. Don’t break the privacy code and expect to get invited in,” she said.
“What we are not doing is sitting here on this app and not admit that most of celeb journalism in SA is deeply rooted in humiliating people.Pulling them down.There are very few celebs that don’t have their managers details in their bios on soc med but no,u guys want to show dem,” she added.

Yes. Agreed. I am saying have all the information. Do some work. Three sources is the usual standard. Then come to the subject with everything. You can’t just hear a whiff and come to me. Uzokwenza ntoni wena ? https://t.co/d04MbJB2fT

I think we would trust the right of reply if we had not been burnt already by tabloids. The headline is all people read and there is no such thing as a right of reply for a headline. I am saying build a story and not come here with a half researched story. https://t.co/cyBO4srn35

Thing is we are arguing something here where very very few people have been front and center in so I get the blasé ‘deal with it’ attitude. My point is so some work. Dig a little. Piece together things wethu nje. Put two and two together. https://t.co/jiSNNEYFTT
