There was no additional information as to the source of the tweet.
The tweet thread can be traced back to an online discussion about how well Save SA – which played a key role in Friday’s protest marches around the country – was funded.
Katlego (@TheGalWithAFro) remarked that it‚ “actually blows my mind how many resources their privilege affords them. They really struggle different.”
