Twitter isn’t buying actress Palesa’s excuse about Zola debacle
The latest scandal to hit Twitter involves the actress, who sent out tweets slamming Kwaito star Zola for refusing to give her ANN7 show an interview.

At the Joe Mafela memorial that took place on Thursday, former Generations actress Palesa Mocuminyane approached Zola to get his comments on the passing of the TV veteran.
Zola refused, and Palesa apparently took to Twitter to voice her outrage. Though the tweets have since been deleted, screengrabs were taken of all the drama.
Actress Rami Chuene was one celebrity who took Palesa on, telling her to apologise to Zola.
Palesa? Really? You had to go there? I'm praying to God you're hacked or drunk! This is unacceptable, unprofessional, un-everything! Tjo! 😡 https://t.co/PNjYkG5Iel

Instead, Palesa issued a statement that she had not tweeted but her PR company. Her PR manager apologised for tweeting about Zola and said she was now out of a job.
as her PR manager controlling the tweets, id like to appologise for my unprofessionalism and tweeting without her approval @PalesaMoc

Palesa must ask her PR assistant to write the apology statement so we know it's real. Boiler plate and all.
