#ThingsThatCouldHappenBefore5 trends on Twitter as state capture report deadline looms
As the country eagerly awaits the release of the Public Protector's report on state capture this afternoon, Twitter users have found a novel way to make the hours pass by.
The #ThingsThatCouldHappenBefore5 hashtag has been trending on the social media site all afternoon.
From suggestions that President Zuma "may join the Gupta's in exile in Dubai", to suggestions that "[Orlando] Pirates can score 5 goals to equalize the 6 - 1 deficit [against Supersport United]", and even speculation that Co-operative Governance Minister Des Van Rooyen be appointed as finance minister again, and then replaced - Twitter-users have been getting extremely creative with their ideas.
These were some of the things South African's anticipate could happen before the 5pm deadline:
Maybe @Boity can help us on this.
