Bantu Holomisa's TV blunder has Twitter in stitches!
As UDM leader Bantu Holomisa prepared to chair eNCA's #AsItHappens show, within the space of mere seconds he was trending on social media. And of course, for all the wrong reasons...
UDM leader Bantu Holomisa has since blamed a teleprompter for a massive TV blunder that saw him become top trending in Mzansi. Bantu stumbled through the start of his show before things went completely downhill, frustrated at getting it so horribly wrong, he started shaking his head and moaning at the teleprompter: "No, no, no!".

As Twitter blew up with laughter and all the memes came out, Minister Fikile Mbalula was quick in offering support and advice.
You did well when that fishy Teleprompter was thrown away General. eNCA must be careful, you might make a full take over next time - like iNjengele yokwenene esiyaziyo https://t.co/jhpzsR7Bs5

Fortunately, Bantu was mature enough to dismiss the blunder for what it seemed to be - a teleprompter mishap.
