Castro Ngobese, spokesperson for the Gauteng Department of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs has defended allegations that he shared a homophobic tweet following the murders of four gay men.
At the weekend, the DA reported that Ngobese retweeted an article with the first emoji, followed by “Aluta Continua” meaning the struggle continues.
"His tweet came as a surprise and angered many people on social media who reacted with disappointment, considering that he is a government official," said the DA's Nico de Jager.
In a statement, de Jager said “this clearly indicated that there was a great need for sensitising training of all Gauteng Provincial Government officials on LGBTQIA+ issues.”
