ANC ‘unemployment’ tweet goes viral

A TWEET by the African National Congress has made the headlines, for all the wrong reasons however. Under the hashtag #ElectionsDebate the tweet garnered criticism and jokes from the Twitterverse. The faux pas which was later corrected read as follows: “We will do what we are good. Restore dignity, create unemployment 4 young people. #ThisIsMyANC.” The original tweet has since been deleted.

Here are just some of the remarks on Twitter:

The first tweet was correct. Quite factual.

I can count at least 4 errors in your tweet. Can you spot them?
