SA tariffs

Nope, Donald Trump hasn’t signed an executive order for visa free travel for South Africans

Fake news! #SAD!

SA tariffs

Guys, fake news is a problem  and you must not fall for it. Case in point: there is a story doing the rounds about how Saffas will be allowed to travel to the United States visa free after The Orange One signed a new executive order, but that shit is dubious.

There are a few signs that point to this story being fake AF from the URL “www.usa-television.com”.

Firstly, the URL is dubious and the site is filled with other fake news including claims that Lesotho has “agreed to become a South African city” and that one of the Obama daughters is pregnant. There also won’t be any African teams at the Champions League…and the list goes on. The site doesn’t even have an about us section and it’s meta icon appears to the from the UK Telegraph.

The White House has not issued any official press release and not a single, credible site is reporting the story. South African Home Affairs has not issued a press release either.
