Thando Thabethe hits back at 'SA first' critic

Thando Thabethe, like many of us, was caught up in the frenzy of Donald Trump's US election win yesterday. But one of her followers wasn't impressed.

The TV and radio personality watched in shock on Wednesday as Donald Trump beat out his opponent Hillary Clinton to clinch the US presidency.

Taking to Twitter, she filled her timeline with reaction to the surprise victory.

But as Twitter users argued over whether South Africans were justified in reacting to the US elections, one of Thando's followers criticised her for paying more attention to US politics than to local affairs.

It was a criticism that saw TV personality Scoop Makhathini trend on Wednesday, after he made a similar statement. 

But Thando was having none of it.

She hit back at the user, saying that it was her page and she would post what she likes on it.
