A video of an ANN7 journalist doing a live report outside the Donald Gordon Hospital on the condition of struggle veteran Ahmed Kathrada earlier this week has gone viral.

In the footage, the journalist stumbles over her words, refers to Kathrada as 'Cartwright' and at one point says "Guys, I can't."

It's believed that the footage is from shortly after the struggle veteran's condition worsened on Monday.

  • 'Phantsi‚ Zuma!' mourners cry at Kathrada's funeralThe funeral of ANC veteran Ahmed Kathrada turned into a rallying cry against President Jacob Zuma’s rule‚ with many senior leaders speaking out against patronage and poor leadership. 

The Gupta led network also had the name of the hospital displayed incorrectly on the screen.

Prepare to cringe.
