Bongani has a problem with the news headlines insisting the world is mourning the tragic fire at Notre-Dame cathedral in France.

This is after thousands of Parisians and tourists watched in horror from nearby streets cordoned off by the police as flames engulfed the building and officials tried to save as much as they could of the cathedral's countless treasures, built up over centuries. 

 "The world is fighting hunger and too many real problems than Notre Dame," insists Bongani.

Bongani added that not all parts of the world are mourning the loss.

"So watching Twitter last night and all the news reports about Notre Dame burning down in Paris, I totally get it, but when I see the news saying the world is mourning I get very angry because 98% of the world is too hungry to worry about a building burning down. Regardless of its religious or historical significance," says Bongani.
