Tongues wag over hashtag

THE TWITTER streets have done it yet again. This time they made rapper Cassper Nyovest trend for appearing on SABC1’s daily drama,

Skeem Saam. The hashtag was created on Monday night and followed through until Tuesday morning.

It left many users confused about why Mufasa was trending and whether the hashtag was true.

The Skeem Saam production house confirmed that the hashtag was fake – Nyovest was not joining the show.

“#CassperOnSkeemSaam is just a trend and it is fake news. Cassper will not be on/joining

Skeem Saam,” said publicity manager Sumaya Mogola.

However, the Twitter “Night Shift Gang” were so convincing and came up with various character roles that Nyovest could play if he really was making an acting appearance on the daily drama.

Here’s what some folks had to say:

“Night shift black twitter is out of order... wat the hell is this hashtag #CassperOnSkeemSaam.” – DJ Buse (@Buselaphie)

“I heard that he’s going to comfort Celia Kunutu after her break-up #CassperOnSkeemSaam.” – Steadybukuta (@steadybukuta)
